Description
This work provides a history of the social, political and ideological forces that have shaped the evolution of schooling in America from colonial times to the present. Written to develop critical readings of the history of American education, the text provides contrasting interpretations of each historical period. It also stresses the influence of different political and economic groups on the knowledge that is distributed by the schools. In this text, the history of education is presented as one aspect of the study of the dissemination of knowledge. Consequently, the text deals with the development of the mass media in the 20th century. It demonstrates the link between educators and the development of movies, radio and television, including the history of educational television such as "Sesame Street". - from Amzon
