The Politics of Knowledge in Education (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the decline of the teaching of epistemic, conceptual knowledge in schools, its replacement with everyday social knowledge, and its relation to changes in the division of labor within the global economy. It argues that the emphasis on social knowledge in postmodern and social constructionist pedagogy compound the problem, and examines the consequences of these changes for educational opportunity and democracy itself.
