| Zusammenfassung: | This book provides an engaging and accessible analysis of traditional issues associated with mass education.

This new edition has been comprehensively updated to provide current information regarding literature, statistics and legal policies, and significantly expands on the previous edition's structure of derailing traditional myths about education as a point of discussion. It also features two new chapters on Big Data and Globalisation and what they mean for the Australian classroom. Written for students, practising teachers and academics alike, This book summarises the current educational landscape in Australia and looks at fundamental issues in society as they relate to education |
