Published in 1995, this book comprises a group of original studies
in education. It includes detailed empirically-based accounts of a
variety of educational settings which are under represented in the
sociological literature, for instance special schools, psychiatric
adolescent units, further education colleges and government policy
settings. Studies of other neglected issues include teachers'
understandings of subject, the promotion of cross curricular themes
and pupils' acquisition of knowledge about menstruation.
Ethnographic fieldwork in Maltese classrooms and a study of Asian
pupils in a Welsh school provide an international dimension to the
volume. Most contributions draw on ethnographic approaches and by
using close observation and / or in-depth interviews they capture
the internal workings of a classroom, institution or culture.
