To learn more about learning - what it is and how it works - it is
necessary to look inside education. Inside Education takes the
reader on a journey of four 'live' education projects: the first
all-Irish speaking, mixed-gendered, multi-faith primary school in
the Republic of Ireland ideally suited to exploring learning
identity; an alternative post-primary school for those who leave
(or are left behind by) the formal education system also based in
the Republic of Ireland and ideally suited to exploring personal
learning; an early college school that enables students to
simultaneously sit their high-school diploma and college exams
based in Queens, New York and ideally suited to exploring learning
success; and an adult education training centre that works with
'landless' movement members based in Brazil and ideally suited to
exploring learning power. Using a critical ethnography approach,
each research narrative naturally unfolds/enfolds to tell a more
complete learning story. All those interested in education are
primed readers. By (re-)viewing their own learning outlook, they
may begin to advance deeper critical ideas and debates in
education. They may come to (re-)represent education, reminding
public consciousness of its human stories, as well as its curious,
intricate and powerful qualities. And they may (re-)discover
'other' roads to raise a scholar. Teachers, educational
researchers, parents and guardians will be particularly interested
readers. 'Inside Education is a thought-provoking, challenging and
revealing journey inside the world of education and learning. Its
exploration of school and classroom practices in a range of
different settings provides important insights into how we learn -
a central aspect of our education system which remains overlooked
and understudied. In doing so, it lays down a challenge to
policy-makers and educators everywhere to think differently about
the way we learn and, ultimately, help students fulfil their real
potential.' -Carl O'Brien, Chief Reporter for The Irish Times
'Inside Education is a stunning example of passionate scholarship
that nonetheless refuses a redemptionist stance. The ethnography
captures people and contexts and draws the reader into the four
sites of learning in fluent and lyrical prose. This is facilitated
by the extensive use of research notes deploying historical,
comparative, literary, artistic and scholarly sources." -Denis
O'Sullivan, Emeritus Professor of Education, University College
Cork, Ireland
