Description

The twentieth century brought profound and far-reaching changes to education systems globally in response to significant social, economic, and political transformation. This volume draws together work from leading historians of education to present a tapestry of seminal and enduring themes that characterize the many educational developments since 1920.

An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students in history, literature, culture, and education, A Cultural History of Education in the Modern Age presents essays that examine the following key themes of the period: church, religion and morality; knowledge, media and communications; children and childhood; family, community and sociability; learners and learning; teachers and teaching; literacies; and life histories.
