Summary:

This book foregrounds pedagogy in a way that challenges readers to reflect on themselves as teachers, mentors and learners, and to be reflexive about their own practice and contexts. The chapters examine the meaning and implications for pedagogy in educational and workplace settings, and the role of the teacher in this sociocultural view of learning.

The settings represented range from nursery to university and from out-of-school to institutionally-based and work place situations. Curricular aspects represented include popular culture, critical literacy, multimodality, the arts, and the new technologies. The chapters challenge ways of thinking about practice, and argue for practices that bridge between learners' worlds, their communities and educational institutions.

Drawing on the international literature, this book is essential reading for students of curriculum, learning and assessment in all sectors from pre-primary to further and higher education. It is suitable as a core text for masters and taught doctorate programmes. It will also be of interest to professionals involved with curriculum, learning and the practice of teaching and assessment.

This book is relevant to those in work-based and professional education and training, and informal educational settings, as well as traditional educational institutions at all levels, and will also be of interest to an academic audience.
