Recenzii

'I've read a good many introductions to studying education but this one has already become a favourite. It's firmly situated in relevant historical and social contexts and is a lively, engaging read. The Study of Education: An Introduction explains theory, illustrates with practice and encourages analysis and reflection. It will be welcomed by students who like to be well-informed, and by tutors wanting to encourage their students to adopt a thoughtful approach.' Carrie Winstanley, Principal Lecturer in Education, Roehampton University, UK
'This text provides the reader with a solid introduction to a range of educational concepts.'  James Arthur, Editor of the British Journal of Educational Studies and Head of School and Professor of Education and Civic Engagement, University of Birmingham, UK
