Rezensionen

"Craig Cunningham provides a detailed and accessible text dealing with Dewey, systems theory, and a notion of schooling that contrasts with much of what goes on in the name of education in the contemporary United States. ... his book is the most accessible introduction to systems theory, not only in education, but in the wider social science literature as well. It is an excellent book for use in the classroom." (Richard Quantz and Deron Boyles, Educational Theory, Vol. 67 (1), 2017)
