"To fellow academics may I say this: Don't put it unread on your students' reading list. Tackle it for yourself, for this is seminal." - Professor Michael Bassey (Praise for "Theory of Education"). The eagerly-awaited sequel to the award-winning "Theory of Education" considers issues of perennial interest to educators. In his compelling and controversial book, Professor David Turner shows how game theory and mathematical models can be used to develop an understanding of educational theory in useful ways. Professor Turner uses his findings to inform the debate on a wide variety of issues, including classroom management, teaching and learning in groups, quality assurance mechanisms and equality of opportunity in accessing educational institutions.

To date, theory in Education Studies has been dominated by a particular view of what should count as 'scientific' theory. David Turner argues that this approach does not necessarily provide a firm foundation for policy planning and professional activity. Using examples from linear programming, game theory, decision theory and chaos theory, he demonstrates how certain insights from modern developments in the social sciences, for example, can be used to stimulate more rewarding debate amongst educational researchers.

Using the Medical Model in Education
Can Pills Make You Clever?

Medicine, and particularly neuroscience, appears to offer the kind of educational quick fixes that politicians and the public would love to have. Following media reports of drugs that seemingly improve learning and memory, David Turner examines commonly held beliefs about learning, knowledge and intelligence, and critically assesses such claims. Using the Medical Model in Education then moves beyond the immediate, fashionable or any specific substance, to a deeper examination of what society does or should expect in terms of results, from the educational system. Many of the underlying problems facing science and education have persisted, with slight modifications, over decades and even centuries. By pointing to parallels between current debates and those presented in works by Aldous Huxley, Ludwig Wittgenstein or Noam Chomsky, the book shows that the important question is not whether or not we should administer modafinil in our schools, but whether we should think about education in medical terms at all.

Hasta la fecha, la teoría en los estudios de educación ha estado dominada por una visión particular de lo que debería considerarse como teoría "científica". David Turner argumenta que este enfoque no proporciona necesariamente una base firme para la planificación de políticas y para la actividad profesional. Utilizando ejemplos de programación lineal, teoría de juegos, teoría de la decisión y teoría del caos, demuestra cómo ciertos puntos de vista de los desarrollos modernos, por ejemplo en las ciencias sociales, se pueden utilizar para estimular un debate más gratificante entre los investigadores del área educativa.

La esperada secuela al galardonado "Teoría de la educación" considera temas de interés permanente para los educadores. En su libro convincente y controvertido, el profesor David Turner muestra cómo la teoría de juegos y modelos matemáticos se pueden utilizar para desarrollar una comprensión de la teoría educacional de manera útil. El autor utiliza sus resultados para dar a conocer el debate sobre una amplia variedad de temas, incluyendo la gestión en el aula, la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en grupos, los mecanismos de aseguramiento de la calidad y la igualdad de oportunidades en el acceso a las instituciones educativas.

Comparative Education
A Field in Discussion

Comparative Education: A Field in Discussion is a personal reflection on the field of comparative education from the perspective of one scholar who has been active in the field since the 1980s. In the 1960s and 1970s many scholars attempted to develop a science of comparative education, and those diverse efforts formed the backdrop to the study of comparative education in the 1980s. In this volume, the author, who was originally educated as a physical scientist, draws upon those earlier attempts, at the same time introducing new insights from the complexity of science and systems theory.David Turner argues that these new insights should lead us away from a positivist vision of science, largely based on nineteenth century ideas of scientific method, and challenge us to accept that concepts are fluid, change over time, and are frequently contested. Nonetheless, those same concepts are essential to the way that we think of ourselves, our environment and the institutions that we inhabit.Caught between the generalisations that our concepts force on us, and our wish to capture the specificity of each personal history, the activity that we engage in is comparative education.

Role of International Organizations in Education

International organizations play an important role in the development of education around the world. Some have a direct impact on the rights of children and parents in education, while others have an indirect impact by addressing such issues as health, welfare or finance. Prominent among the most influential international organizations are the members of the United Nations family of agencies, although regional development banks and trade union organisations also play important roles. And no mention of international organizations would be complete without reference to the PISA programme of the OECD, although the OECD does much more in the field of education.The Role of International Organizations in Education provides an introductory background to the operation of organisations that have had a direct and lasting impact on the implementation of educational policy in an international context. The accounts provided give researchers and practitioners to the field an initial account of the organizations, their development over the last seven decades, and their changing influence on the practice of education. By including voices from countries on the receiving end of international policies, the volume also introduces some of the debates that pervade in the field of international education.
