Description

This course aims to develop student understanding of the social and historical forces which have shaped traditions and policy in schooling and education in Australia. Social concepts including reproduction theory, structuration and cultural capital will be used with more orthodox historical tools to analyse, critique and revise historical explanations of educational developments. The impact of intellectual modes and paradigms originating beyond the educational arena will also be explored. Some art educational trends will be identified and explained in terms of these broader intellectual and historical origins.
