The 3rd edition of this introduction to interdisciplinary studies of teaching and learning to teach is restructured around four prominent historical moments in formal education: Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education, Systemic Sustainability Education. These moments serve as the foci of the four sections of the book, each with three chapters dealing respectively with history, epistemology, and pedagogy within the moment. This structure makes it possible to read the book in two ways - either \"horizontally\" through the four in-depth treatments of the moments or \"vertically\" through coherent threads of history, epistemology, and pedagogy. Pedagogical features include suggestions for delving deeper to get at subtleties that can't be simply stated or appreciated through reading alone, several strategies to highlight and distinguish important vocabulary in the text, and more than 150 key theorists and researchers included among the search terms and in the Influences section rather than a formal reference list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrent Davis\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor and Distinguished Research Chair in Mathematics Education in the Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDennis Sumara is Dean of the Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, Canada. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Luce-Kapler is Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research in the Faculty of Education, Queen's University\u003cb\u003e, \u003c\/b\u003e Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 6.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127487959175,"sku":"9781138905412","price":161.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/0051c2c2262ac621e3a39f9bf5747320.webp?v=1732588928","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/engaging-minds-cultures-of-education-and-practices-of-teaching-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
