Summary

"The aim of this book is to provide the stimulus for further thinking about key educational issues by exposing and explaining the assumptions behind this obsession. Over 40 contributors - all experts in their fields - have written short, accessible, informed and lively articles for students, teachers, and others involved in education. They address broad questions that are central to any understanding of what is really going on in the education system." "Topics covered includes: the new relationship of the state to education; the changed nature of schools; whether teachers are afraid to teach; the problems with circle time, anti-bullying strategies, citizenship education, and multiple intelligences; the retreat from truth and the demise of theory in teacher training, and much more." "Everyone learning to teach in primary and secondary schools and further education colleges will find this book relevant to their programmes. In particular the book would be useful for students on Education Studies courses."--Jacket.
