Democracy and Teacher Education
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-59325-1 (ISBN)
This book connects the dilemmas educators experience in daily practice with key theories, research and policy about democracy, ethics and equity in education. Illustrated through vignettes from practising teachers, as well as suggested questions and supplementary readings for each chapter, the authors recognise and explore the complex nature of the insoluble problems that face practising teachers in their everyday lives and how they can be understood in order to address them in a more elaborate manner.
Divided into eight concise chapters, this book provides a much-needed comprehensive exploration of issues within the education discourse, as seen from a global perspective, such as:
Teachers’ understanding of their profession
Political demands and the complexities of practice
Schools’ democratic values
Performance and accountability
Minority needs and majority rule
Countering radicalisation, terrorism and misinformation.
Democracy and Teacher Education is a fantastic resource for students in teacher education programmes, as well as teacher educators, who are looking to develop a critical understanding of the choices made within the education field in a more thoughtful and sensitive manner.
Silvia Edling is a Professor and excellent teacher at the Academy of Education and Business Studies at University of Gävle, Sweden, and specializes in questions concerning democracy, teacher professionalism, ethics, justice and rights in education and higher education. Geraldine Mooney Simmie is a Senior Lecturer in Education at the School of Education, Faculty of Education and Health Sciences, University of Limerick, Republic of Ireland, where she lectures in Policy Studies. Her research interest is in emancipatory teaching and research, teacher professional learning, ethics, social justice and how education intersects with democracy.
