Abstract:
Education, Culture and Values Volume IThe six volumes that comprise the Education, Culture and Values series bring together contributions from experts around the world to form, for the first time, a comprehensive treatment of the current concern with values in education. The series seeks to address this concern in the context of cultural and values diversity. The first three volumes provide a wide-ranging consideration of the diversity of values in education at all levels, and thus represent a framework for the second three volumes which focus more specifically on values education (moral, religious, spiritual and political) per se. The six volumes, therefore, bring the fundamental domain of values together with the important issue of pluralism to generate new, fruitful and progressive reflection and exemplars of good practice.The series will be of huge benefit and interest to educators, policy makers, parents, academics, researchers and student teachers. The six volumes contain: diverse and challenging opinions about current educational concerns and reforms in values education chapters from more than 120 contributors of international repute from 23 different countries conceptual clarification and theoretical analysis empirical studies, reports of practical projects and guidance for good practice.Volumes IIII: Values Diversity in EducationVolume ISystems of Education: Theories, Policies and Implicit Values is concerned with the theoretical and conceptual framework for reflecting about values, culture and education and thus provides an introduction to the series as a whole. It is concerned with state and policy level analysis across the world. Volume IIInstitutional Issues: Pupils, Schools and Teacher Education considers values and culture at the institutional level. What constitutes a good whole school approach in a particular area? There are discussions of key issues and reports of whole-school initiatives from around the world.
