This book examines the way in which the "practice turn" in
education and pedagogy offers unique perspectives on the nature of
educational work. Through a plurality of "practice theories" deeper
understandings emerge about a range of education and concepts,
providing useful tools for advancing and developing practice theory
in education and pedagogy. The book discusses the related and dual
perspectives of pedagogy as both a teaching and an upbringing
practice. It also explores education in a range of contexts and
sectors beyond school, including VET, tertiary and non-formal
settings. Education is seen as serving a dual purpose - the
development of individuals and the betterment of societies and
community, and this conceptualisation of education underpins the
book. It acknowledges that there are diverse understandings and
perspectives of practice theory, pedagogy and education, each of
which is contestable and ripe for further development, and this is
examined throughout the book. This book was developed alongside an
invited symposium held in June 2015 in Brisbane, Australia where
the authors and interested others gathered to discuss practice
theory perspectives on pedagogy and education. The title - Practice
Theory Perspectives on Pedagogy and Education - captures the
central overarching focus that underpins the book.
