Dictionary of Pedagogics
This reliable dictionary has been updated, revised and extended and now has 1700 entries (200 more than the previous edition). The dictionary imparts a basic knowledge of the science of education. Theoretical approaches are explained, as well as practical fields of tasks, educational and formative institutions. Because the field of education is now treated in a multidisciplinary fashion, basic terms of neighbouring sciences such as sociology and psychology are covered. Structural sketches accompany the articles on various countries and their educational systems. An extensive bibliography about the topical professional literature is added, as are addresses of educational institutions and associations, making this dictionary an indispensable reference work for students, parents, teachers and people working in the field.
