The Routledge Education Studies Textbook is an academically
wide-ranging and appropriately challenging resource for students
beyond the introductory stages of a degree programme in Education
Studies. Written in a clear and engaging style, the chapters are
divided into three sections that examine fundamental ideas and
issues, explore educational contexts, and offer study and research
guidance respectively.
To support the development of critical thinking, debates between
contributors are interspersed within sections and address the
following questions:
- Do private schools legitimise privilege?
- Should the liberal state support religious schooling?
- Are developments in post-14 education reducing the divide
between the academic and the vocational?
- Do schools contribute to social and community cohesion?
- Do traditional and progressive teaching methods exist or are
there only effective and ineffective methods?
- Educational Research: a foundation for teacher
professionalism?
Each chapter opens with an overview of the rationale behind it
and closes with a summary of the main points. At the end of every
chapter key questions are posed, encouraging the student to
critically reflect on the content, and suggestions for further
reading are made.
The Routledge Education Studies Textbook is essential reading
for students of Education Studies, especially during second and
third years of the undergraduate degree. It will be of interest to
trainee teachers, including those working towards M Level.
A companion volume, The Routledge Education Studies Reader by
the same editors, contains key classic and contemporary academic
articles and has been designed to be used alongside this
Textbook.
