- Synopsis
- This book provides an accessible undergraduate-level introduction to the central educational concepts of learning and culture. In examining these themes, the book addresses key issues including: what is meant by 'culture;' characteristics commonly associated with contemporary culture; relationships between culture and learning; changing understandings of how, what, where, and when we learn; the relationship between learning, national identity, and citizenship; and the impact of all these on our way of life. These ideas are approached from the traditional disciplines of Education Studies — historical, philosophical, sociological, political, and psychological.
