| Summary |
"In this controversial new book Peter Mortimore and a group of academics from London University's Institute of Education explore what is meant by the term pedagogy. They investigate its context and describe some of the recent shifts in thinking about it." "The authors of this book, all with professional backgrounds as teachers, have scoured the published literature to examine the impact of different pedagogies on nursery, primary and secondary schools as well as on further education colleges, universities and the work place. Further chapters deal with learners with special educational needs and the implications of using information and communications technology." "This important book is recommended reading for interested teachers working with learners of all ages. The issues raised affect the way we think about the teaching of the under fives through to that of university students and continuing lifelong learners. It is essential reading for students policy makers, and practitioners."--BOOK JACKET |
