Alexander Robin. Essays on Pedagogy

Routledge, 2008. — 212 p. — ISBN: 0415454824, 0415454832, 9780415454827, 9780415454834, 2008003199.Seven authoritative contributions to the emerging field of pedagogy and to comparative, cultural and policy studies in education. A must for those who want to do more than merely comply with received versions of 'best practice'. Pedagogy is at last gaining the attention in English-speaking countries which it has long enjoyed elsewhere. But is it the right kind of attention? Do we still tend to equate pedagogy with teaching technique and little more? Now that governments, too, have become interested in it, is pedagogy a proper matter for public policy and official prescription.Essays on Pedagogy
