Drawing from curriculum history, cultural studies, visual cultures, and science and technology studies, it delves into the complex interplay between education, science, and society. By crossing the boundaries between education and science studies, the book offers a unique perspective on how the desires of science to create a better society were transformed into the pursuit of remaking social life, paradoxically embracing cultural differences and social divisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines how cybernetics and systems theories were transported and assembled to transform schools into social experiments and laboratories for change. It explores the emergence of new comparative technologies of quantification and the visualization of educational data employed in methods of mass observation. The sciences extend beyond the present to encompass the potentialities of societies and individuals in fields such as childhood psychology, individual development, growth, and creativity, teacher education, and the quantification and assessments of educational systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, the book delves into how the categories and classifications of the sciences were formed at the intersections of the humanities, the arts, and political practices. It sheds light on the ways in which these disciplines intersected and influenced each other, shaping the development of scientific knowledge and its applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis informative volume is of interest to researchers, academics, postgraduate students, educators, and school leaders engaged in the fields of curriculum studies, the history of the social sciences, the history of education, and cultural studies. It provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of science, education, and society, and offers valuable perspectives for policymakers and practitioners in the field of education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 503g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367569075\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104573550842,"sku":"9780367569075","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1653078309192_book.jpg?v=1653247121","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-international-emergence-of-educational-sciences-in-the-postworld-war-two-years-quantification-visualization-and-making-kinds-of-people-9780367569075","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
