Against the background of globalization and campaigns to provide
basic education for all the world's children, "Culture and
Pedagogy" compares primary and elementary schooling in England,
France, India, Russia and the United States. It explores the ways
in which children's educational experiences are shaped not just by
classroom circumstances and the decisions of the teacher, but also
by school values and organization, by local pressures, national
policies and political control and - suffusing all these - by
culture and history."
Culture and Pedagogy" combines comparative and historical
enquiry with intensive analysis of school and classroom life to
present a novel and illuminating account of pedagogy. The book also
transfers into the international arena themes for which the
author's earlier work is well known: the interplay of policy,
politics and practice; the quest for resilient models of teaching
and learning the subtle dynamics of schools and classrooms; and the
rich learning potential of talk between teachers and children; and
the challenge of judging 'good' and 'effective' educational
practice."
Culture and Pedagogy" is clearly structured around three levels
of analysis: systems, school and classrooms. Extensively
illustrated with figures, table s, photographs, lesson summaries
and teaching extracts, the book is an essential resource for those
who are committed to understanding pedagogy, exploring culture, and
improving primary education.
