Education in a Society uncertain of its Values
In recent decades the life circumstances of most people around the world have changed enormously. We are again expecting scarcity and economic crisis, the danger of war, terrorism and environmental destruction. However, people’s tendencies toward selfishness and the misuse of freedom, uprooting, dissoluteness and crime are also increasingly being seen as threats to society and individual citizens. The decline of support-giving religious, worldview and moral traditions has given rise to great uncertainty about values. Citizens increasingly experience this as a burden, and are becoming more receptive to a reassessment. More of us are seeking a new orientation. Those responsible for children ...
Education and Pedagogy in Cultural Change
In a period of rapid cultural shifts, changing populations and new ideologies take hold and reshape political agendas and norms in the West. It is against this backdrop that Wolfgang Brezinka presents his controversial take on the impact these changes have made on the public education landscape. Offering his views on the historical context behind these cultural shifts, Brezinka argues for the development of moral and values education in the West and discusses the conflicting roles migration, divergent ideologies, and other factors have had to play. Focusing on pedagogy and policy, Brezinka puts forth a provocative perspective on the relationship between pluralism, tradition, and the future of education.
Philosophy of Educational Knowledge
For two reasons, we are particularly proud to include Wolfgang Brezinka's Philosophy of Educational Knowledge in this series of books on Philosophy of Education. Thefirst is the philosophicalinterestoftheworkitself-its remarkablescholarship and the importance ofthe philosophical positionswill beobvious to allreaders. The secondisthat it brings to the English-speaking world a wonderful example ofeducational philosophy as now being practiced in the German-speaking world. All too often philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition have not seen the sort of perspective on educational thinking that infuses this work. And since this book has been widely read in its original version, it has had a co...
Pedagogiek in meervoud.
De lezer wordt ingeleid in zeven benaderingen die ieder op eigen wijze inzicht proberen te geven in opvoedings- en onderwijsprocessen. Deze zeven zijn: Geesteswetenschappelijke pedagogiek / Empirisch-analytische pedagogiek / Kritische pedagogiek / Cultuurhistorische pedagogiek / Taalanalytische pedagogiek / De opvoedingswetenschappen in Frankrijk / Pragmatische pedagogiek. Zij bepalen in meer of mindere mate het huidige gezicht van de Nederlandstalige pedagogiek. Van elke benadering wordt een aantal aspecten besproken, te weten een historisch overzicht, de basisbegrippen, gehanteerde methoden, de Nederlandse situatie, waardering en literatuursuggesties. Door dit vaste stramien is Pedagogiek in meervoud een overzichtelijk studieboek. Voor deze vijfde herziene druk is hoofdstuk 5, cultuurhistorische pedagogiek, opnieuw geschreven. De overige hoofdstukken zijn herzien.
Computer Games and New Media Cultures
Digital gaming is today a significant economic phenomenon as well as being an intrinsic part of a convergent media culture in postmodern societies. Its ubiquity, as well as the sheer volume of hours young people spend gaming, should make it ripe for urgent academic enquiry, yet the subject was a research backwater until the turn of the millennium. Even today, as tens of millions of young people spend their waking hours manipulating avatars and gaming characters on computer screens, the subject is still treated with scepticism in some academic circles. This handbook aims to reflect the relevance and value of studying digital games, now the subject of a growing number of studies, surveys, conf...
Twenty-Five Years of Educational Practice and Theory 1955–1979
In 1979 the International Rel'iel1' of Education celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. This book which now reproduces the two Jubilee issues of that Review has been published for a number of reasons. One is the importance of the topics dealt with. The last twenty-five years have seen unprecedented developments in education right across the world, in industrialised countries no less than in those which are still approaching that phase. From time to time it is essential to look back over the past and take stock of how the present situation has come about, to disentangle the trends and sort out from the welter of ideas those which turned out to be non-starters, those which died in their trac...
Socialization and Education
These three essays on social science terminology examine commonly used words whose meanings, on closer examination, are not clear. The first essay analyzes the term socialization as it is used inconsistently by 24 authors in psychology, sociology, and education. Brezinka contends that it is frequently confused with the term education, to the detriment of both concepts. The second essay, Models in Educational Theories, examines 15 usages of the term models, including the vogue expression paradigm, and finds little of use for the science of education in the concepts. The third essay, Conflict Education, attacks the New Left and its pedagogical theories for failing to abide by basic principles of concept construction and use. Throughout the book, the author shows how imprecision can be identified and corrected.
