"An Introduction to Education Studies" presents a concise overview
for students who are new to this area of academic study.
Part 1 introduces the reader to the main themes they will encounter
in their study of education such as the sociology of education, the
philosophy of education, comparative education, and ethics for
educators.
Part 2 explores the contexts within which education takes place in
order to stimulate further thinking about education in action.
Issues such as disaffection, pupil voice and breaking barriers to
learning are introduced to give the reader a feel for such issues
and how they might approach them.
Through discussions of relevant literature and research, and the
use of case studies and exploratory activities, students are
encouraged to actively engage with their learning about theories
and disciplines within the study of education and the contexts in
which learners live and work. Each chapter is written in an
accessible style and provides the reader with start points for
further study.
This book serves as a true course companion to meet the needs of
students and lecturers working on Education Studies programmes.
Prospective teachers may also find the book of interest as the
subject matter is discussed in terms of theory and practical
applications in a range of educational contexts.
