Bücher der Reihe Foundations and Futures of Education

Offers the reassessment and realignment of Curriculum Studies in the UK and international contexts. Comprising a collection of eleven original chapters by nationally and internationally known experts in the field of Curriculum Studies, this book aims to lead and foster generic debates about formal education and its relationships to the society.

Offers a refreshing reconsideration of key educational experiences including those of: being judged and assessed, both formally and informally, adapting to different groups for different purposes, struggling to think under pressure, and learning to recognise and adapt to the expectations of others.

Intends to re-dress the lack of attention that technology developers and enthusiasts pay to a learner's wider context, offering a definition of context as a set of inter-related resource elements, including people and objects.

Argues for a radical education with democracy as a fundamental value, care as a central ethic, a person-centred education that is education in the broadest sense, and the image of the rich child. This book explores the meaning of radical democratic education and the common school and how they can work in practice.
