Introduction to Education Studies (Education Studies: Key Issues Series)

Education Studies is a broad, multi-disciplinary and rapidly growing field. Now fully updated, Introduction to Education Studies has proven itself to be the key text for novices in the field for over a decade, leading readers through the field's key strands, concepts and applications without assuming any prior knowledge.

Bartlett and Burton provide first-time students with all the tools that they need to approach Education Studies and also encourage a critical, questioning approach which will put them in good stead for further study and professional practice.

The new edition includes:

-A new chapter on 'SEN and Inclusion'.

-A new chapter on the 'Historical Context of Education Policy.

-A new chapter on 'Citizenship Education'.

-More international, comparative examples

The book will also be even easier to use than in previous editions, with thorough improvements to its structure and design.
