This book aims to reinvigorate thinking on discipline in education by challenging the notions, foundations, and paradigms that underpin its use in policy and practice. It confronts the understanding of discipline as purely repressive, and raises the possibility of enabling forms and conceptualizations of discipline...

ISBN: 9780820471082 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Happiness, Hope, and Despair: Rethinking the Role of Education
ISBN: 9781433120978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Happiness, Hope, and Despair argues, however, that education has an important role to play in deepening our understanding of suffering and despair as well as happiness and joy. Education can be uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unsettling; it can lead to greater uncertainty and unhappiness. Drawing on the work of Soren Kierkegaard, Miguel de Unamuno, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Simone Weil, Paulo Freire, and others, Peter Roberts shows why these features of...

The book goes on to discuss the processes that might be set in motion to bring these attachments into question in such a way that...
