Overview
Where does learning take place? In this collection of passionately argued essays, leading educators and theorists explore the "where" of pedagogy - how pedagogical processes are influenced by local conditions. Understanding this dynamic just may be the single most important ingredient to successful teaching.If Classrooms Matter presents some of the best known voices in critical pedagogy—Michael Apple, Henry Giroux, Stanley Aronowitz, Carol Becker, Peter McLaren—alongside essays by such well-known scholars as Mark Poster, Sharon O'Dair, David Trend, Jacqueline Bobo, and others. These thinkers explore the sensitive balance between technology, physical space, economic developments, political events, and the goals of teaching—a balance we must constantly renegotiate if classrooms are to matter at all.
Synopsis
As more and more students, especially those juggling school and work, rarely see a conventional classroom, US scholars of education, other social sciences, and the humanities explore how methods and the philosophy of education can and must account for the new learning environments. Among their topics are critical pedagogy in a time of permanent war, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum as a scene of pedagogical address, and history in the digital domain.
