A Classic on its Subject

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2004

Verified Purchase

This is a very good, probably the best textbook available in the U.S. regarding the topic of history and philosophy of education, intended for undergraduate students. The authors did minor updateds to the previous edition. Since there has been little change as to history and philosophy of education in the last few years, you do not have to buy the last edition unless your instructor requires so.
The content is presented in 16 chapters, as follow:
1-2 Teaching profession, preparation of teachers
3-5 World roots of education, Pioneers, historical development of education in the U.S.
6-8 Governing-administering, finances and legal aspects of public education
9-11 Cultural and social aspects, race/social class, equal access to the educational system
12-14 Philosophycal aspects, the purpose of education,curriculum
15-16 International education, school effectiveness and reform in the U.S.

Foundations of Education (Student Text)

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

The professor was kind enough not to ask us to buy the new eleventh edition, the tenth edition was chosen to save us all some money. If I had to buy this book at the college bookstore I would have spent double. And when I go to sell it back to the bookstore they give me 50 cents on the dollar. So, for better than 50 cents on the dollar I have the book, and if I chose to keep it I still did better than going to the college bookstore. Great savings for me, I get to add the book to my library if I choose, and it arrived in plenty of time to use for class. I look forward to buying more textbooks this way.
