Primary education is one of the most important phases of learning
but there remains a scarcity of in-depth research on this vital
topic. However, as the focus on improving outcomes increases there
is a growing interest internationally in research that helps us to
understand the best ways to help young children engage with the
curriculum in order that they may have the best possible life
chances. This text helps to address these issues and consists of
seminal articles derived from the forty-year history of the journal
Education 3-13, which can claim to be one of the most important and
influential publications in its field. The chapters included have
been chosen carefully to represent a wide range of key topics in
research on primary education and the text is sub-divided into five
sections, each of which has been edited by leading academics who
specialise in the topic under scrutiny. The sections include: *
Learning and teaching, including the psychology and philosophy of
primary education; * Key challenges in primary education, including
changes to the governance of schools, and educational management
and leadership; * The primary curriculum, including Maths, Science,
IT and Technology Education; * The primary curriculum, including
English, Humanities and the Arts; and, * Primary teachers' work and
professionalism. Many of the contributions are written by seminal
figures in academic research. The text will be especially relevant
to students and researchers engaged the study of primary education
as well as to practitioners, advisers and policy makers and will
prove an invaluable resource for those wishing to gain an overview
of research into primary education. It is recommended especially
for those who wish to understand the development of primary
education and the many twists and turns in theory, practice and
policy that have influenced its development over the period of a
generation. Those who read the text will come across the origins of
many of the ideas that continue to influence primary teaching today
as well as very recent research on where we are now in this
important subject area.
