Introduction to the Study of Education

First Published in 1971, An Introduction to the Study of Education is a basic introduction to the curriculum of education which will be of interest to students in colleges of education as well as to sixth formers. The six contributors, all well known in the educational field, consider different aspects of the study of education. J.W. Tibble himself considers the development of the study of education. D.J. Watts contributes a chapter on educational psychology. Anne Dufton looks at the sociology of education, while its history is examined by Malcolm Seaborne and its philosophy by R.F. Dearden. The relationship between theory and practice is considered by Harold Entwistle, and a final chapter, by J.W. Tibble, looks at the curriculum courses available in Britain.
