Greenwood Press, 2003. - 444 pages.
The first of its kind since the 1980s, this book provides
authoritative definitions for more than 2,600 terms that apply to
educational research, practice, and theory. The overall focus is on
the most critical terms in education as used by current
practitioners, yet references to significant historical events in
education are also included. Each of the definitions is 25-250
words and has been written by a knowledgeable practitioner or
researcher in the field. Included are acronyms and initialisms
commonly used in the field, names and descriptions of relevant
organizations, and important legal decisions relating to education.
An extensive bibliography provides useful sources for further
research. This reference work will be valuable for professionals in
the K-12 setting, students of education, and educators and
researchers in colleges of education. Librarians at academic,
public, and school libraries will find the dictionary immensely
useful in interpreting education terminology.
