See also Chapter One, “The Development of The Study of Education”, by Tibbie, for his account of the way in which the paradigm of education has changed in England during this century.

A recently published (and already reprinted) text for use mainly in training teachers by two Scottish authors with much practice and research experience in this field in Scotland totally omits sociology from current “more ‘liberal’ courses”; in considering the problem of integrating theory and practice they also only link methods courses with “the concepts and theories of psychology and educational philosophy”.
