Book Description:
The reconfiguration of pedagogical practices around the globe has taken on a momentum that an earlier generation might well have considered startling and disorientating. Many still working in the education and training arenas do experience a high degree of disorientation and dislocation. With different pedagogic practices come different ways of examining them and fresh understanding as to their assumptions and implications. It is the examination of these changes and developments that is the subject of this book. Central to this examination is the notion of ‘space’. Spatial metaphors are central to many discussions of pedagogy. Space has also been given greater significance in discussions of social theory informed by strands of postmodern, feminist and postcolonial thinking. The reconfiguration of space-time is also central to debates about the nature, extent and significance of economic, cultural and political forms of globalisation. The intention in this book is to open a space through which glimpses of globalising processes and their significance for education and pedagogy can be discerned and prospects explored.
