Standards, subjects, and textbooks
Sylvain Wagnon (ed.), Peter Lang, Exploration series, February 2022
Textbooks are a major and indispensable tool in today's education system. A reflection of their time and a political, economic, and cultural issue, they reveal the changes and developments in our education systems. This book analyzes the links between textbooks, the knowledge taught, disciplinary standards, and the school system. Each chapter explores both the history and current state of different academic disciplines through the lens of textbooks.
Through fresh, multidisciplinary analysis, this book highlights the importance of textbooks as an essential interface for education and a fundamental component of school culture.
