Popular Culture, Pedagogy and Teacher Education Summary

Popular Culture, Pedagogy and Teacher Education: International perspectives by Phil Benson

The integration of popular culture into education is a pervasive theme at all educational levels and in all subject areas. Popular Culture, Pedagogy and Teacher Education explores how 'popular culture' and 'education' come together and interact in research and practice from an interdisciplinary perspective. The international case studies in this edited volume address issues related to:

    • how popular culture 'teaches' our students and what they learn from it outside the classroom
    • how popular culture connects education to students' lives
    • how teachers 'use' popular culture in educational settings
    • how far teachers should shape what students learn from engagement with popular culture in school
    • how teacher educators can help teachers integrate popular culture into their teaching

Providing vivid accounts of students, teachers and teacher educators, and drawing out the pedagogical implications of their work, this book will appeal to teachers and teacher educators who are searching for practical answers to the questions that the integration of popular culture into education poses for their work.

Popular Culture, Pedagogy and Teacher Education Reviews

This is an important book that challenges established thinking with regard to the relationship between culture and education. The chapters outline an array of innovative pedagogies and creative approaches to teaching that draw on popular culture and they offer critical reflections on practice that are underpinned by rigorous attention to theory. The collection is global in scope, highlighting the way in which issues relating to children and young people's use of digital technologies and media culture are relevant across cultures. A must-read for teachers, students, academics and policy makers interested in ensuring that pedagogy and curricula are appropriate for the 21st century. - Jackie Marsh, University of Sheffield, UK
