Exploring Education Through Phenomenology: Diverse Approaches

Responding to the resurgence of interest in phenomenology as a philosophy and research movement, this timely book explores some of the contributions of phenomenology to educational practice and research. Through a series of essays written by an international team of renowned philosophers and educationalists, the book highlights the ways in which phenomenology can inform a broad range of aspects of educational theorising and practice, including learning through the body, writing online, being an authentic teacher, ambiguities in becoming professionals, schools as places that disturb the self, and school transition. It juxtaposes diverse approaches to phenomenological inquiry in thoughtfully addressing questions of significance for education today. It thereby demonstrates phenomenology is a contemporary movement that is both dynamic and varied.
