Opis

This work brings together a range of authoritative accounts of key issues facing educationalists as the 21st century begins. The volume contains almost 60 contributions exploring issues ranging from early childhood to adult education, from developments in the teaching of reading to challenges of peace education. The chapters are divided into five topic fields: foundations, processes, substantive issues, sectors and subjects. Each chapter gives a contemporary account of developments in the field, and looks to the future and the directions that new activity and enquiry is likely to take. All the chapters are written from an international perspective. The world of education is constantly in a state of transformation. The speed of change presents a formidable challenge to anyone looking across the field as a whole or any part of it. In one sense this has always been the case. Educationalists at the end of the last century would have looked with some awe at the expanding educational systems of the developed world and the daunting problems faced in extending educational opportunity to the rapidly growing global population.
