Standards, disciplines and textbooks
Sylvain Wagnon (ed.), Peter Lang, Exploration series, February 2022
Textbooks are a major tool in today's education system. As a witness of its time and a political, economic and cultural issue, it reveals the changes and developments in our education systems. This book analyzes the links between textbooks, the knowledge taught, disciplinary standards and the school form. Each chapter explores both the history and the current state of the various school disciplines through the prism of the textbook.
Thanks to renewed and multidisciplinary analyses, this book clarifies the importance of the textbook as an essential interface in the educational act and a constituent element of a school culture.
