Space, Curriculum and Learning (PB)

by Richard Edwards (Editor), Robin Usher (Editor)

Overview

In recent years there has been increasing interest in issues of space and spatiality in the social sciences and humanities generally, if less so in the study of education. This lack of interest is surprising given the importance of space and time in the organization of teaching and research. This collection examines the significance of space.
