This text combines pedagogical interest with a sound philosophical base at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It will appeal to both research specialists and undergraduates of Ed Studies and PGCE courses. This title is particularly important with the emerging agenda of 'student as researcher' at this level.This monograph foregrounds the theme of citizenship education, identity and nationhood, taking a slant which examines some of the contradictions between philosophy and practice, policy and pedagogy.Since the beginning of the 21st century, citizenship education has been revived as a theoretical discourse and focus for pedagogical enquiry, with specific concern for practice in schools. These have taken particular directions where citizenship has sometimes appeared as a statutory subject and at others as a cross-curricular theme, both ways generating ideas and contestations, as well as prescriptions for classroom practitioners.Such philosophical and pedagogical momentum has occurred at a time of unprecedented global change, accompanied by an ongoing struggle to conceptualise citizenship in a manner that is inclusive and acceptable to all British inhabitants.Concerns in this area have led to a flood of texts offering guidance to teachers delivering citizenship education.Additionally, others have contributed to the debate more philosophically. However, with scarce exceptions at present there is a dearth of literature that effectively combines pedagogical interests with a sound philosophical base, especially in the arena of Education Studies, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels of education.Thus, the aim of this book is to give a high level discourse that would be central to scholars of education, including advanced undergraduate students and research specialists, whilst not precluding interest from critically inquisitive classroom practitioners. This will be achieved by developing a series of entry points to themes that presently articulate with the statutory order for citizenship education: human rights, politics of identity, race, ethnicity, social justice, monarchy and subject-hood, and the challenge of global inter-dependence.The book will also raise critical issues that articulate with notions of identity and self and other, and which underpin key debates of the themes for contemporary citizenship.Attempts at developing critical thinking within young people is more rhetorical than real.In an attempt to redress the balance this book takes a look at a range of subjects/interests that are informed by the authors' research and theoretical excursions.

This book focuses on sports coaching and sports teaching and how touching young sports participants has been redefined as dubious and dangerous. Coaches are constrained by a framework of regulations and guidelines which create anxiety, and many coaches now question the risks and benefits of their continuing involvement. The book includes some data from a recently completed ESRC project: (‘Hands-off’ sports coaching: the politics of touch) and builds on previous ESRC research (Touchlines – the problematic of touching between children and professionals) which illuminated tensions in touching behaviours between professionals and children in education and care settings. It considers the negative effects of particular understandings of risk and moral panic around touching and related behaviours where adults, children and young people interact, and makes a significant contribution to critical discussions around related practice, pedagogy, politics, and policy. While focussed on sports coaching and teaching, it is germane to the situation of all those acting in loco parentis.This book was originally published as a special issue of Sport Education and Society.

This is a key textbook for Education Studies that provides an insight into some of the issues and dilemmas that currently face education both from a UK perspective and internationally. Section 1 considers whether reform changes have really been for the better, with chapters on academies and the privatisation of education; standards and testing; and the choices for parents: public or private education for their children.Section 2 looks at issues concerning marginalization and education. Here authors focus on faith schools; inner city education; and two studies on the marginalization of white working class children and those from a Romany background.Section 3 considers pressing global issues. The first chapter looks to Europe to explore social pedagogy and looked after children. Another chapter considers the impact of AIDS in Southern Africa in an attempt to draw out lessons for the reader concerned about education at all levels. The final chapter seeks to evaluate the US policy No Child Left Behind. In each chapter issues are introduced to the reader and explored from a critical perspective.Full pedagogical features such as case studies, boxes for further reading and key questions are given throughout, making this text an engaging course companion for scholars of Education Studies.
