Aprašymas

How can we explain the study of education in terms of its social and historical development?　 And how has its survived as an academic subject in the changing world of the 21st century?　 The character and role of the study of education in the UK have always been contested and often challenged, so what are the underlying tensions that have served to shape its growth?

While key disciplines such as history, sociology, psychology and philosophy have been vital, education has been an unstable coalition of interests rather than a discipline in its own right.　 This has given rise to tensions that leave it vulnerable to new threats.

The study of education has also provided space within the structures of journals, societies and conferences that have allowed the field to survive despite these issues.　 This book surveys the problems and opportunities facing the study of education today, and its prospects of adapting to changes in the decades ahead.
