Contemporary Issues in Primary Education: Fifty Years of Education 3-13: International Journal of Primary, Elementary and Early Years Education by Mark Brundrett (Liverpool John Moores University, UK)
This book was developed as part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the journal Education 313, which has always had primary education as its main focus. The journal has been published by Routledge since 2007 and is the most important academic publication in the field internationally.
This book has been edited by a team of academics and senior practitioners, all of whom are members of the Board of the journal or the Association for the Study of Primary Education (which is the owning body of the journal). It will serve as an excellent resource to researchers and students of primary education. Topics include major contemporary issues such as key challenges in the field, learning and teaching, wellbeing, teachers work and professionalism, and outdoor learning. The chapters in this book comprise articles published in Education 313 in the last ten years.
