Education Policy and Social Reproduction - Class Inscription & Symbolic Control (Hardcover, New)

This book, written for in-service teachers and student-teachers, summarises the developments in educational policy that have occurred recently. Looking across all education sectors, the book focuses specifically on the struggle for control of educational rules and definitions, their content and consequences.
In recent years a teacher's means of acquiring the understanding needed to help children recognise and apply knowledge, and to understand what children do and how, has largely disappeared. Philosophy, history and sociology have been replaced with classroom management and subject knowledge.
This book looks at:
*education policy studies
*theories of social and cultural reproduction from the 'grand masters' to post-structuralism
*teacher and school professional independence
*comprehensive schools and grouping
*the neo-liberal strategy and the discourse of markets, choice and diversity
*curriculum and its assessment
*classrooms and pedagogy
*teachers and their teaching.
