But is it the right kind of attention? Do we still tend to equate pedagogy with teaching technique and little more? Now that governments, too, have become interested in it, is pedagogy a proper matter for public policy and official prescription?  \nIn Essays on Pedagogy, Robin Alexander brings together some of his most powerful recent writing, drawing on research undertaken in Britain and other countries, to illustrate his view that to engage properly with pedagogy we need to apply cultural, historical and international perspectives, as well as evidence on how children most effectively learn and teachers most productively teach.  \nThe book includes chapters on a number of themes, expertly woven together:  \n• the politicisation of school and classroom life and the trend towards a pedagogy of compliance;  \n• the benefits and hazards of international comparison;  \n• pedagogical dichotomies old and new, and how to avoid them;  \n• the centrality of talk to development, learning and teaching and the empowering potential of classroom dialogue;  \n• how education and pedagogy might respond to a world in peril;  \n• the rare and special chemistry of the personal and the professional which produces outstanding teaching;  \n• the scope and character of pedagogy itself, as a field of enquiry and action.  \nFor those who see teachers as thinking professionals, rather than as technicians who merely comply with received views of ‘best practice’, this book will open minds while maintaining a practical focus. For student teachers it will provide a framework for their development. Its strong and consistent international perspective will be of interest to educational comparativists, but is also an essential response to globalisation and the predicaments now facing humanity as a whole.  \nRobin Alexander is Fellow of Wolfson College at Cambridge University, UK, Professor of Education Emeritus at Warwick University, UK, and Director of the Primary Review. His Culture and Pedagogy (2001) won the Outstanding Book Award of the American Educational Research Association.  \nEssays on Pedagogy  \nRobin Alexander  \nFirst published 2008  \nby Routledge  \n2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RN Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n270 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2008 Robin Alexander  \nTypeset in Palatino by  \nFlorence Production Ltd, Stoodleigh, Devon Printed and bound in Great Britain by Antony Rowe Ltd, Chippenham, Wiltshire  \nAll rights reserved.
