More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Education is seen as central to economic competitiveness, the reduction of poverty and inequality, and environmental sustainability. The editors have selected key writings that examine the social and economic limits- and possibilities of-education in addressing these fundamental problems. This new reader establishes the field of sociology of education with a particular focus on papers that analyse the nature and extent of globalization in education. A general introduction presents the key concepts in the sociology of education, and outlines the major theories and debates, especially in relation to globalization. Each section is accompanied by a part opener explaining and contextualizing the readings within a larger educational and sociological context.

Great Book for Those Wanting to Understand the Field of Education
12 April 2012
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book that provides real insight into key areas of education. What I particularly liked is that important texts representing the most significant educational theories are included, so one can see for oneself how the authors presented their ideas. Yet the next several articles after each of these "key" texts may be by scholars who dispute these very same theories. At a minimum there is discussion and new ideas are shared which build upon what others have said. Consequently, it is a great source for finding multiple sources which inform the reader and allow him or her to see an area from multiple perspectives. It is an extensive book which covers really every area important to the field of education, at all levels of education. I think that anyone studying the field of education will find this book to be very useful.
