The Politics of Education: An Introduction, critically examines the overt and covert political issues suffusing education. Questions of What is education?, What do we teach?, and How do we teach? are all political questions, the answers to which empower certain individuals, groups and viewpoints over others. This book explores the political contexts that shape our conceptions of education and guides our pedagogical practice. Contemporary educational theory and practice are taken to task for attempting to instill democratic values and a love of freedom anti-democratically with little to no freedom. For example, The Politics of Education considers the effects of standardized examinations on the individual and her ability to function in a democratic society. Critiques of contemporary educational theory and practice by Dewey, Foucault, Bourdeau, classical conservative thinkers and others are considered. This book examines education through historical and international lenses where appropriate. Alternative meanings and modes of education grounded in critical pedagogy are offered as steps in revolutionizing education., 5267708011, Schools & Teaching, 3048961, Certification & Development, 8975350011, Common Core, 266134, Computers & Technology, 69828, Counseling, 8975356011, Curriculum & Lesson Plans, 266133, Distance & Online Learning, 69824, Early Childhood Education, 69829, Education Theory, 10633, Funding, 69844, Homeschooling, 15959731, Instruction Methods, 10671, Parent Participation, 10680, Special Education, 69827, Student Life, 11764644011, Teacher & Student Mentoring, 8975347011, Education & Teaching, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
