Ngā kaupapa here: Connections and Contradictions in Education 1st Edition by Vicki Carpenter/Joce Jesson/Peter Roberts/Maxine Stephenson
Quick Navigation

Overview

This edited text brings together a wide range of global contributions to examine issues of education from philosophical, sociological and historical perspectives. A particular focus is on the New Zealand context. The early chapters examine the big picture, with globalisation central, while later chapters make strong links between theory and teacher/educator practice.
