This encyclopaedia is a dynamic reference and study place for
students, teachers, researchers and professionals in the field of
education, philosophy and social sciences, offering both short and
long entries on topics of theoretical and practical interest in
educational theory and philosophy by authoritative world scholars
representing the full ambit of education as a rapidly expanding
global field of knowledge and expertise. This is an encyclopaedia
that is truly global and while focused mainly on the Western
tradition is also respectful and representative of other knowledge
traditions. It professes to understand the globalization of
knowledge. It is unique in the sense that it is based on
theoretical orientations and approaches to the main concepts and
theories in education, drawing on the range of disciplines in the
social sciences. The encyclopaedia privileges the "theory of
practice", recognizing that education as a discipline and activity
is mainly a set of professional practices that inherently involves
questions of power and expertise for the transmission,
socialization and critical debate of competing norms and values.
