PRACTICE THEORY PERSPECTIVES ON PEDAGOGY AND ED...

This book examines the way in which the practice turn in education and pedagogy offers unique
perspectives on the nature of educational work. Through a plurality of practice theories deeper
understandings emerge about a range of education and concepts  providing useful tools for
advancing and developing practice theory in education and pedagogy. The book discusses the
related and dual perspectives of pedagogy as both a teaching and an upbringing practice. It
also explores education in a range of contexts and sectors beyond school  including VET 
tertiary and non-formal settings. Education is seen as serving a dual purpose - the development
of individuals and the betterment of societies and community  and this conceptualisation of
education underpins the book. It acknowledges that there are diverse understandings and
perspectives of practice theory  pedagogy and education  each of which is contestable and ripe
for further development  and this is examined throughout the book.This book was developed
alongside an invited symposium held in June 2015 in Brisbane  Australia where the authors and
interested others gathered to discuss practice theory perspectives on pedagogy and education.
The title - Practice Theory Perspectives on Pedagogy and Education - captures the central
overarching focus that underpins the book.
