Education: The Social and Historical Context - EDUC106

The ideas that inform this unit are predominantly sociological and historical, but the disciplines of cultural studies, philosophy, politics and economics also have a strong influence. The unit presents a socio-cultural history of Australian education. This unit is one of two foundation units offered by the Department of Education. It is designed to complement EDUC105 Education: The Psychological Context, the other foundation unit, but has a different approach to the study of education and draws on different theoretical disciplines.
