Routledge Dilemmas of Schooling - Teaching and Social Change

Dilemmas of Schooling (RLE Edu L): Teaching and Social Change offers a deep look into how the daily work of teachers touches on economic, cultural, ethical, and political issues. Published by Routledge, this study provides a fresh way to examine teaching practices through a unique research lens. The book is divided into two clear sections. The first part presents detailed, sensitively recorded situations from various British primary schools. These real-world observations provide a foundation for understanding the complexities of the classroom environment. In the second half, the authors use their research to build a theoretical perspective based on sixteen specific dilemmas. This framework helps readers look at schooling through a new lens, connecting everyday classroom activities to broader social and research concerns. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the connection between teaching and social change.
