EDUCATION IN WORLD HISTORY - MARK S JOHNSON KAR...

This comprehensive overview of the history of education  from ancient times to the present day
is a thematic survey of the history of education throughout the world. Education in World
History analyzes patterns of religious and cultural influence in classical societies  as well
as the ways in which conquest  trade and cross-cultural contacts helped to shape educational
change in post-classical societies. From Confucius  through to the Greeks and the Egyptians 
Mark S. Johnson first takes an integrated look at ancient education  and the development of
various education traditions separately. Considering the ways in which early modern states and
religious movements helped to shape ethnic  religious and national identities through
increasingly formal institutionalized education  he then examines how colonialism influenced
education throughout the emerging world system in the modern era. Finally  the volume goes on
to discuss the rise of vocationalism  the decline - in some places - of religious education 
and the effects of globalization on education. Chapters include: Religion and Education in
Classical Societies Cross-Cultural Influences in Post-Classical Education Education  the State
and Early Modern Identities Colonialism and the Western Model of Educational Development
Education After Colonialism and the Effects of Globalization Rethinking International
Education? Suitable for introductory courses and students new to the subject  this concise and
lively study reconsiders the history of education from the perspective of world and comparative
history.
