Michalis Kontopodis

Neoliberalism, Pedagogy and Human Development (eBook, ePUB)

Exploring Time, Mediation and Collectivity in Contemporary Schools

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Based in empirical studies in Germany, the US, and Latin America, and drawing on the theories of Vygotsky among others, this volume examines how an economy characterized more and more by flexible short-term work contracts and lack of a social safety net gives rise to pedagogies - paradigms of child development - that suit its aims, and explores possible alternatives from California to the landless peasant movement of Brazil.
