• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

What does it mean to be a student of education? This book offers an excellent introduction to the content and espoused purposes of Education Studies degree courses, both undergraduate and postgraduate.

Education Studies has shifted from simply the theory for teacher training to a popular university subject in its own right, with a wide array of literature and research. Covering core questions about who, where, and why education should take place, the book analyses diverse approaches to the Education Studies curriculum, the tension between theory and practice, and the employment opportunities offered for graduates of Education Studies.

The book will appeal to those considering a career in teaching or looking for enhanced professional development through engagement with degree level studies. It is also essential reading for students interested in the broader questions relating to education and society as well as those looking for careers in the wider education sector, including local government, charities, and cultural industries.
