Towards a sociology of pedagogy

Meer over het boek

The 14 essays in this collection were presented as papers at a symposium held in Lisbon, Portugal in June 2000. Bernstein (d. 2000, sociology, U. College, London, UK) is featured both as the source for material covered and also in a short essay and a transcription of a video conference to the symposium. The essays develop theoretical approaches to pedagogy in terms of sociology, with topics including the orientation of pedagogy in preschoolers to reflect mother-child interactions, the social formation of persons and minds, the sociological nature of knowledge, and several case studies regarding challenges to education due to ethnicity and other forms of difference. c.
