Used in conjunction with 'Understanding and Using Education Theories' this text is written in a similar style. Again, due to the style of writing and presentation of the book, the ability for students new to educational theory to gain an understanding and apply within practice each challenging theory and use this text as a starting point and point of reference throughout their educational journey is fantastic.
