商品簡介
Stables (U. of Bath, UK) reconsiders problematic assumptions underpinning recent thinking about education, including assumptions about children, cultural values, and what teaching can and cannot achieve, in this contribution to educational theory and philosophy of education. The study examines individualization in relation to changing attitudes toward childhood, positioning and identity development of students within educational "markets," the reduced sovereignty of the nation state due to globalization, and whether education is capable of determining the future in predefined ways.
