Moral and political values in teacher education over the time international perspectives

Abstract

Nick Mead’s latest work examines the way teachers transfer their political, moral and personal values to students. The book focuses on Gramscian-inspired educational projects around the world and challenges the current system of performance-based education and the hegemonic filtering and systematisation of curricular content. Mead’s analysis raises theoretical questions about educational practices in the twenty-first century and concerns regarding the ‘old’ problems re-emerging from the new social, ethical and political demands of consumer society.
