Education in World History shows how broad currents in
transnational history have interacted with trends in educational
organization and teaching practices over time. From antiquity and
early classical societies to present day, this book highlights the
ways in which changes in religious and intellectual life and
economic patterns in key world regions have generated developments
in education. Since the postclassical period, cross-cultural
connections have also influenced educational change. In more recent
times, transnational dialogues and mobility have played a vital
role in shaping educational patterns. Ranging through South and
East Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, the book also considers
how the impact of modern forces, such as industrialization and
nationalism, have transformed education in fundamental ways.
Throughout the volume, Mark S. Johnson and Peter N. Stearns
emphasize the tensions between elite and state educational
interests and more diverse popular demands for access and, often,
for more innovative pedagogy. Suitable for introductory world
history and history of education courses, this lively overview
reconsiders the history of education from the perspective of world
and comparative history.
