Book Review: Introduction to Education Studies

Abstract

Education is one of the main human sciences that has been expanding more recently and has been integrated with other human sciences. That expansion would raise the assumption about how is difficult for junior educational researchers to get started. In fact, there are many books about introductions in education that would be recommended but few would have the desired depth, comprehensiveness, and keeping abreast of what is new in this field. “Introduction to Education Studies” by Diana Burton and Steve Bartlett is one of these recommended books. What distinguishes this book is, firstly: the long experience of its authors in the field of education, secondly: the critical discussion of the fundamental educational issues. These and other justifications made the book one of the first books on the list of recommended readings approved by education departments of some British universities.
