EDUC106: Education: The Social and Historical Context

The ideas that inform EDUC106 are predominantly sociological and historical, but the disciplines of cultural studies, philosophy, politics and economics also have a strong influence. EDUC106 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, the other foundation unit, but has a different approach to the study of education and draws on different theoretical disciplines.
