Education and Public Choice: A Critical Account of the Invisible Hand in Education
ISBN: 9780275980290 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The single most important educational theory in schools and universities today is not derived from Dewey, Piaget, R. S. Peters, or any other significant researcher or theorist in education. It is "public choice" theory, which is derived from neo-classical economics. It is this theory that licenses talk of "accountability"; "provider capture"; "outcomes"; and "delivery" as the most significant aspects of education, and thereby sets aside the discourses of "responsibility"; "professionalism"; "social justice"; and "learning." Public choice theory is defined by its proponents as the application...

Adequacy, Accountability, and the Future of Public Education Funding
ISBN: 9780387233604 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about public education reform and the future of pubHc education funding. Given the many articles, books, and conferences that have focused on the issue of public education reform, it is reasonable to ask whether the world needs still another volume on this subject. In my defense, I would argue that, although there is a large literature on public education reform, there is precious little that tries to sketch the big picture. Too often, both in research and in practice, it is easy to lose sight of the forest, for all the focus on the individual trees. While such detailed analysis...
