Educational Change and Continuity

In this module you will be introduced to the study of education through the dimension of time. It is entitled ‘Educational Change and Continuity’ because it is concerned with processes of change within educational theory and practice and with theory and practice which has stayed the same for long periods of time. The latter include those perennial problems and enduring issues which all educationists have to face. During the course of the module, you will develop an understanding of change and continuity in relation to a range of themes (e.g. curriculum, special educational needs and citizenship) in a variety of educational settings (e.g. schools, colleges and universities). This will be accomplished through an analysis of a variety of sources ranging from documents to 'docu-soaps' and memoirs to movies
