Summary

Reconceptualizing Study in Educational Discourse and Practice challenges traditional views that prioritise learning and instruction by focusing on studying as a unique educational act. Through diverse essays, it explores what it truly means to study, differentiating it from being taught or learning. The book delves into the implications of the effort involved, how it affects both learners and teachers, and the kind of existence study cultivates. Emphasising study as a significant human activity beyond mere educational outcomes, this volume offers fresh insights into the nature of education.

Addressing studying as a distinct educational concept and phenomenon in its own right, this volume considers study and studying from a range of perspectives, countering dominant educational discourses, which place heavy emphasis on learning and instruction.

Description

Addressing studying as a distinct educational concept and phenomenon in its own right, the essays in this volume consider study and studying from a range of perspectives. Countering dominant educational discourses, which place a heavy emphasis on learning and instruction, the contributors explore questions such as: What does it mean to study something? How is studying something different from being taught about it, or learning something about it?

What does the difficulty demanded by study mean for the one who studies and for the teacher? What mode of existence does study induce? The book highlights the significance of study not only, or even primarily, for its educational outcome, but as a human activity.
