Combining contributions from international academics and
practitioners, this new text develops students' ability to
philosophise as well as learn about philosophy and education. It
considers issues concerned with the interface between education and
wider society but goes beyond this to explore education and
philosophy at a micro level: the teacher-learner relationship. It
challenges and empowers students to use philosophy as a tool within
education, as a set of theories to understand education and as a
potential means to develop solutions to problems as they occur
within practice. Assuming no pre-existing philosophical background,
Philosophy and the Study of Education explores complex topics
including: encouraging young people to criticise and challenge all
authority; the limits of a religious-based education; the desire
for 'alternative facts' or 'truths'; the second-class status of
vocational pursuits; the inherent struggle in the teacher-student
relationship; the relationship between emotion, morality and
autonomy in teaching. Including discussion questions and further
recommended reading, this thought-providing book will support and
inspire all those on Education Studies, Childhood Studies and Youth
Studies courses in developing a critical perspective and
understanding the true value of philosophy within education.
