Educational Futures Dominant And Contesting Visions

Ideas and visions about the future are increasingly evoked to support arguments about the impending demise of the dominant 'modern' education model. The critique of modern education ranges across the political spectrum; across countries; across genders and across worldviews. These critiques all imply that 'modern' education has become outdated. Futures of Education summarises current tensions, debates and the main issues developed within the UK, Europe, Australia, the USA and Canada and actively engages with futures discourses by providing an overview of arguments about where education should be going. It focuses on neither prediction nor prescription; rather the goal is an analysis of the ways in which the notion of the future circulates in contemporary discourse. And it brings to the fore the notion of multiple educational futures within various societies and communities, thus raising the issue of choices and moving from determinism and criticism towards more substantiated visions and more meaningful dialogues about the future of education.Milojevic, Ivana is the author of 'Educational Futures Dominant And Contesting Visions', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415333740 and ISBN 0415333741.
