The Political Dimension In Teacher Education: Comparative Perspectives On Policy Formation, Socialization And Society

By Mark Ginsburg, Mark B. Ginsburg, Beverly Lindsay

First Published in 1995. This collection of papers was shaped by a variety of colleagues who attended the panel sessions on this topic, organized at the annual meetings of the American Educational Studies Association (1992), the Comparative and International Education Society (1993), and the American Educational Research Association (1994). The inspiration for this volume are the many policy makers, teacher educators and teacher education students around the world who have struggled and continue to struggle about and in programs to prepare teachers formally. Reading this volume will benefit the individual in that they will not only understand better the challenges they face but also be encouraged and empowered to pursue their 'political' goals, particularly those aimed at creating a world in which power and resources are distributed in a just and equitable manner.
