Introduction to Education Studies cover

In this fully updated sixth edition of this much-loved textbook, students will be introduced to different ways of looking at education, supported by links to classic and contemporary research.
Built around the essential themes of psychology, history, policy and sociology, this new edition explores a range of contemporary topics found on Education studies courses, including:

  • UK education policy since 2020, including policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Decolonising the curriculum and social justice
  • Education studies and student employability
  • Expanded coverage of cognitive psychological theories of learning

This is excellent - the updated version is great, although we also suggest previous versions to students. This new version is better because it includes how schools etc responded to the Covid-19 pandemic and there is more about the decolonisation of the curriculum, which is really important - and especially important given our cohort, which is multi-cultural and international. -- Dr Indira Banner
I have used this book for more years than I can count. It truly is essential reading. -- Mr Drew Quayle
This is a great text - we have adopted it as a core text for our Education Studies degree. It covers the breadth of the disciplne and supports students in building a foundation of understanding.
For this reason I do wish that we were able to adopt an e version for our library as well as the hard copy - unfortunately it appears that the lisence does not support this. -- Mrs Samantha Weeks
