Book Synopsis Cultures of Schooling (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) by : Mary Kalantzis
Download or read book Cultures of Schooling (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) written by Mary Kalantzis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the ways schools respond to cultural and linguistic diversity. A richness of accumulated experience is portrayed in this study of six Australian secondary schools; partial success, near success or instructive failure as the culture of the school itself was transformed in an attempt to meet the educational needs of its students. Set in the context of a general historical background to the development of multicultural education in Australia, a theoretical framework is developed with which to analyze the move from the traditional curriculum of cultural assimilation to the progressivist curriculum of cultural pluralism. The book analyzes the limitations of the progressivist model of multicultural education and suggests a new ‘post-progressivist’ model, in evidence already in an incipient and as yet tentative ‘self-corrective’ trend in the case-study schools.
Book Synopsis Education and the Working Class (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) by : Brian Jackson
Download or read book Education and the Working Class (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) written by Brian Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first published this book had a significant influence on the campaign for comprehensive schools and it spoke to generations of working-class students who were either deterred by the class barriers erected by selective schools and elite universities, or, having broken through them to gain university entry, found themselves at sea. The authors admit at the end of the book they have raised and failed to answer many questions, and in spite of the disappearance of the majority of grammar schools, many of those questions still remain unanswered.
Book Synopsis Towards Successful Schooling (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) by : Hugh Lauder
Download or read book Towards Successful Schooling (RLE Edu L Sociology of Education) written by Hugh Lauder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors have compiled this critical and comparative study of changes which took place in the New Zealand education system in the second half of the twentieth century. For other Western societies who have felt the impact of New Right policies the New Zealand case is interesting because it provides some indication of how policies of decentralization in education might be used to develop egalitarian and democratic educational policies. In recent years there have been major changes to educational systems in the Western world. Often these changes have been justified by reference to successful educational practices in other countries. However, it is not always possible simply to abstract educational practices from one context and apply them in another successfully. Moreover claims that policies in one country are more successful than those in another have to be treated cautiously: there are always problems in making valid comparisons between the educational performances of different countries. It is important, therefore, that critical and comparative studies are made of educational systems which take full account of the contexts in which they are embedded.
Book Synopsis Sociology and the School (RLE Edu L) by : Peter Woods
Download or read book Sociology and the School (RLE Edu L) written by Peter Woods and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introduction to interactionist work in education during the 1970s and 80s. The interactionist viewpoint concentrates on how people construct meanings in the ebb and flow of everyday life – what they think and do, how they react to one another – and has in recent years established itself as one of the leading approaches in education. It has generated illuminating research studies which, by being firmly based in the real world of teaching and dealing with the fine-grained details of school life, have helped to break down the barriers between teacher and researcher. This volume presents the results of this valuable work, within a coherent theoretical framework, by focusing on the major interactionist concepts of situation, perspectives, cultures, strategies, negotiation and careers. By bringing them together in this way, the author demonstrates their collective potential for the deeper understanding of school life and the possibilities for sociological theory. His book therefore offers both a summary of and a reflection on achievement in the area of interactionism as it relates to schools.
Book Synopsis Class, Culture and Education (RLE Edu L) by : Harold Entwistle
Download or read book Class, Culture and Education (RLE Edu L) written by Harold Entwistle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concepts of equality, class, culture, work and leisure and explores their interrelationship through the discussion of some current problems, especially the problems posed for schools for the ‘culturally deprived.’ The debate about differential provision of schooling for different social groups is taken up through examination of the assumption that schools are middle-class institutions, and the claims and counter claims about the possibility of there being a common culture as the basis for a common curriculum in comprehensive schools. The concept of culture and, especially the meaning of working-class culture receives examination in this context as well as the thesis that any sub-culture constitutes an adequate or valid way of life.

Book Synopsis Life in Public Schools (RLE Edu L) by : Geoffrey Walford
Download or read book Life in Public Schools (RLE Edu L) written by Geoffrey Walford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain’s public (that is, its major independent) schools have a conspicuous role in the country’s social system, and as a result are the subject of a long-standing political debate. The discussion is generally founded on a stereotyped image of what these school may have been like in the 1950s – this books shows how they were in the late 1980s. It is based on fieldwork in two major public boarding schools which the author conducted over an extended period, and draws on interviews, observation and documentary sources to establish a picture of what public school life is actually like for pupils and staff. Since the schools were predominantly male preserves, the major part of the book describes the social world and experiences of boys and school-masters. An important section of the book, however, discusses the introduction of girl pupils, the experiences of female teachers and the way schoolmasters’ wives tend to be drawn into their husbands’ work. Geoffrey Walford’s conclusions about life in public schools differ considerably from traditional expectations. At the same time he asks whether there really has been a ‘public school revolution’. His book makes an important contribution to our knowledge of public schools, to debates in the sociology of education and to the issues of abolishing or extending the independent sector.

Book Synopsis Schooling, Ideology and the Curriculum (RLE Edu L) by : Len Barton
Download or read book Schooling, Ideology and the Curriculum (RLE Edu L) written by Len Barton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the different contributions to this book range over a wide spectrum of substantive issues, they share a common interest. This is a concern to explore the ways in which notions of the relations between theory and practice, between belief and action, can be used to develop three kinds of sensitivity in the sociology of education. A sensitivity towards how school systems are created, maintained and made to function; towards developing a more refined, critical and constructive awareness of the reliability and validity of descriptions, analyses and explanations offered in this field of study; and a sensitivity towards the ways in which changes take place within the education system and how the insights and realisations generated in the discipline might be used to control such occurrences.
