This alphabetic guide offers a critical analysis of the central and also of the more important controversial concepts in educational theory and practice. The authors address each idea or issue by means of an essay-length analysis. Examples of the types of questions considered are: "Can educational needs be assessed and, if so, in what way?"; "Is there any reason to take creativity tests seriously?"; "What is the status of a value judgement?"; "What distinct types of understanding, if any, are there?"; "What is the point of a liberal education?" and, "How do language and thought relate to one another?". This second edition has been enhanced by about 25% with more material on recapitulation, memory and psychological topics. The work is intended for the use of students, researchers, teachers and administrators in the field of education.
