| Publisher Description: Pushing a sociala (TM) responsibilities on schools is a process that has been underway for a long time. This phenomenon has been studied more in Europe than in North America and the U.K. and has been labelled PAdagogisierung. The editors have chosen to use a Educationalizationa (TM) to identify the overall orientation or trend toward thinking about education as the focal point for addressing or solving larger human problems. The term describes these phenomena as a sub-process of the a modernizationa (TM) of society, but it also has negative connotations, such as increased dependence, patronization, and pampering. In this book distinguished philosophers and historians of education focus on a educationalizationa (TM) to expand its meaning through an engagement with educational theory. Topics discussed are the family and the child, the a learning societya (TM), citizenship education, widening participation in higher education, progressive education, and schooling movements such as No Child Left Behind. |
