Routledge The Reason of Schooling - Curriculum Studies Book

Explore the historical and political foundations of education with The Reason of Schooling. Part of the Studies in Curriculum Theory Series, this work by Routledge brings together international and interdisciplinary scholars to examine the relationship between society, education, and curriculum studies. Instead of accepting common sense views of schooling, this book investigates how the principles governing school subjects, teaching reforms, and the curriculum act as historical practices. These practices shape how people think, act, and communicate within the educational system. By examining the limits of contemporary notions of power, the text looks at how schooling functions in society. This book provides a deep look into the dynamics of social exclusion and the processes used to normalize individuals through curriculum. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of pedagogy and teacher education, offering a critical perspective on how educational structures are built and maintained.
