Course Syllabi in Faculties of Education: Bodies of Knowledge and their Discontents, International and Comparative Perspectives

Abstract

This is a complex volume where the contributors express divergent and sometimes contradictory views. That makes it difficult to give a simple and comprehensive review. At the most elementary level, one author claims that critical thinking is crucial to the project of teacher preparation, while another argues that the term “critical thinking†is a prime candidate for inclusion in the game of bullshit bingo.
