GeneralWelcome to the module:What is Education?This module serves as an exploration of the main ideas that underpin a study of education. It is guided by six key questions which we draw upon in order to encourage and enable you to question your understanding of education, both in relation to your own context and more generally. These questions are as follows:oWhat is education for, what is its purpose, both here and now and looking to the future?oWhat should be its fundamental values and ethics?oWhat do we mean by knowledge and learning (includingformal and informal learning)?oWhat is our concept of education?oWhat is our image of the learners, educators, learner contexts, and of community/society?oWho is responsible for education, and what does it mean to be responsible?(These questions are drawn from Fielding, M. and Moss, P. (2011) Radical education and the common school: a democratic alternative. London: Routledge.)You can read more about the aims and intended learning outcomes of the module in themodule handbook
