Synopsis Teaching is the achievement of shared meaning in the context of educating. Teaching demands a special responsibility. Teaching requires authority. One of the greatest disasters to befall educational practice has been the miscomprehension of subject matter knowledge. Teachers-to-be are supposed to get their knowledge from subject-matter disciplines. But knowledge given out in the form of "bodies of knowledge" is not the highly selected knowledge needed for teaching. The specialised knowledge and value claims of disciplines must be reworked for use in teaching. Amidst plenty of similar literature, the present book is unique as this elaborately X-rayes some vital and crucial issues. The book will prove of utmost use for students, researchers, teachers, educationists and administrators/policy planners.
