Philosophy and Educational Policy Summary

Philosophy and Educational Policy: A Critical Introduction by John Gingell (University of Northampton, UK)

What are the concepts and theories behind current debates about education?
This comprehensive introduction to philosophy of education discusses issues that are of current public interest and debate. It locates education at the heart of questions concerned with culture, ethics, politics, economics and shows how key educational issues have to be approached in a contextual way.
Written in a clear and accessible manner with current issues in mind the book covers:

  • the curriculum
  • teaching and learning
  • educational research
  • assessment
  • moral, personal and civic education
  • autonomy and multicultural issues in a liberal society
  • education and work
  • privatisation and markets

This book will be particularly useful to students on Education Studies courses, to those preparing for a career in teaching, to students of politics and to serving teachers undertaking further study in education.

Philosophy and Educational Policy Reviews

'The book is short, with helpful chapter synopses and clearly flagged debating points. Undergraduate students of education or philosophy will find it helpful and challenging.' - Michael Duffy, Times Educational Supplement

'Winch and Gingell's book should be welcomed by those teacher educators and their students looking for philosophically informed discussion of the broad policy context within which teachers now work. Certainly I recommend the book to them. It would be easy to use as a set text as it is clearly written, contains summaries of the arguments at appropriate points and questions for discussion which might be used in tutorials.' -John Halliday, British Journal of Educational Studies, February 2006
