Learning, Curriculum and Life Politics: The Selected Works of Ivor F. Goodson

In this book, Ivor Goodson brings together 20 key writings in one place. Starting with a specially written Introduction, which gives an overview of Ivor's career and contextualizes his selection within the development of the field, the chapters cover:
· Curriculum history and policy
· Classroom pedagogy and strategies for professional development
· Life history, narrative and educational change
This book not only shows how Ivor's thinking developed during his long and distinguished career; it also gives an insight into the development of the fields to which he contributed.
In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself.
