Abstract
Education has played a vital part historically in attempts at achieving an equitable and sustainable world. In Education for Social Change: Perspectives on Global Learning, Douglas Bourn adopts the social cartography method to comprehend the impact of global forces and provides a rigorous curriculum and instruction to prepare students for social change. By organising and summarising, analysing, and interpreting evidence from various regions, groups, and agents in natural settings, researchers develop trustworthy and comprehensive results. The form of education Bourn advocates is called a “pedagogy for global social justice”. The book intends to introduce the reader to the ways in which education for social change can be comprehended, interpreted, and implemented. Bourn’s mapping serves as an inspiration for the creation of various maps of social change through education.
期刊介绍:
Education as Change is an accredited, peer reviewed scholarly online journal that publishes original articles reflecting critically on issues of equality in education and on the ways in which educational practices contribute to transformation in non-formal, formal and informal contexts. Critique, mainly understood in the tradition of critical pedagogies, is a constructive process which contributes towards a better world. Contributions from and about marginalised communities and from different knowledge traditions are encouraged. The articles could draw on any rigorous research methodology, as well as transdisciplinary approaches. Research of a very specialised or technical nature should be framed within relevant discourses. While specialised kinds of research are encouraged, authors are expected to write for a broader audience of educational researchers and practitioners without losing conceptual and theoretical depth and rigour. All sectors of education are covered in the journal. These include primary, secondary and tertiary education, adult education, worker education, educational policy and teacher education.
