Description: Critical Social Issues in American Education : Democracy and Meaning in a Globalizing World, Paperback by Shapiro, H. Svi (EDT); Purpel, David E. (EDT), ISBN 080584452X, ISBN-13 9780805844528, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Critical Social Issues in American Education: Democracy and Meaning in a Globalizing World, Third Edition, is intended to work on two levels. First, it helps readers to develop an awareness of how education is connected to the wider social structures of cultural, political, and economic life. Second, it encourage not only a critical examination of our present social reality but also a serious discussion of alternatives - of what a transformed society and educational process might look like. The editors' goal is to deliberately engage readers in connecting the work of teachers to an ethically committed, politically charged pedagogy. The assumption on which they base the text is that educators must see their work as inextricably linked to the broader conflicts, stresses, and crises of the social world - it is not overwise possible to make sense of what is happening educationally. What happens in school or as part of the educational experience, reflects, expresses, and mediates profound questions about the direction and nature of the society we inhabit. This third edition includes many new readings and addresses issues that have more recently emerged as especially significant - such as concerns about the implications of globalization and the post 9/11 world, commercialism, violence, and the ever-increasing influence of high stakes testing. This text is relevant for a wide range of courses in educational foundations, educational policy, curriculum studies, and multicultural education that address the social context of education, cultural and political change, and public policy.
