Disciplinary Struggles in Education

Abstract

Kirja käsittelee kasvatuksen disiplinaarisia kiistoja kolmesta näkökulmasta. Ensimmäisen osan artikkelit analysoivat kasvatuksen disiplinaarista luonnetta käytäntönä ja instituutioina. Toisessa osassa kohteena on teoriaa ja käytäntöä välittävän kasvatustiedon oikeutus. Kolmannessa osassa pohditaan kasvatuksen päämääriä ja tarkoituksia, jotka ovat kriittisiä sitä koskevien disiplinaaristen kiistojen ymmärtämisen kannalta. Vaikka kirjoitukset kohdistuvat kasvatuksen eri muotoihin, aikakausiin ja konteksteihin, ne tarjoavat aineksia myös yleisempään keskusteluun kasvatuksen eklektisistä ja vaihtelevista teorioista ja käytännöistä.

This book discusses disciplinary struggles in education from three perspectives. The chapters in the first section analyse the disciplinary character of educational practice and institutions. The second section focuses on justification of educational knowledge in transmission between theory and practice. The contributions of the third section problematise the aims and functions of educational practice and theory, which are critical for understanding the implications of disciplinary struggles in education for the future. Although the chapters focus on certain historical periods, forms and contexts of education, they provide insights, which are useful and relevant for a wider discussion in the eclectic and diverse theories and practices of education.
