This handbook offers a global view of the historical development of
educational institutions, systems of schooling, ideas about
education, and educational experiences. Its 36 chapters consider
changing scholarship in the field, examine nationally-oriented
works by comparing themes and approaches, lend international
perspective on a range of issues in education, and provide
suggestions for further research and analysis. Like many other
subfields of historical analysis, the history of education has been
deeply affected by global processes of social and political change,
especially since the 1960s. The handbook weighs the influence of
various interpretive perspectives, including revisionist
viewpoints, taking particular note of changes in the past half
century. Contributors consider how schooling and other educational
experiences have been shaped by the larger social and political
context, and how these influences have affected the experiences of
students, their families and the educators who have worked with
them. The Handbook provides insight and perspective on a wide range
of topics, including pre-modern education, colonialism and
anti-colonial struggles, indigenous education, minority issues in
education, comparative, international, and transnational education,
childhood education, non-formal and informal education, and a range
of other issues. Each contribution includes endnotes and a
bibliography for readers interested in further study.
