Excellent Thank you it was exactly what I needed and wanted. Fast shipping too! Thanks! | ||
Very informative The text is very clear and informative. I've only just started reading it but the format and the language used is great. It really puts the decision of becoming an educator in perspective. It's almost like a parent saying, "Are you sure this is what you want to do? Have you considered, this, that and the other?" I like it! It's exactly what I needed. | ||
A Classic on its Subject This is a very good, probably the best textbook available in the U.S. regarding the topic of history and philosophy of education, intended for undergraduate students. The authors did minor updateds to the previous edition. Since there has been little change as to history and philosophy of education in the last few years, you do not have to buy the last edition unless your instructor requires so. The content is presented in 16 chapters, as follow: 1-2 Teaching profession, preparation of teachers 3-5 World roots of education, Pioneers, historical development of education in the U.S. 6-8 Governing-administering, finances and legal aspects of public education 9-11 Cultural and social aspects, race/social class, equal access to the educational system 12-14 Philosophycal aspects, the purpose of education,curriculum 15-16 Internation education, school effectiveness and reform in the U.S. | ||
