Abstract "Films about education provide many of the most popular interpretations of what teaching and learning mean in schools. An analysis of this medium reveals much about the historical, cultural, political, and philosophical dimensions of education. Timely and engaging, this book fills a gap for scholarly and informed public commentary on the portrayal of education in film, offering a wide range of conceptual and interpretive perspectives. Reel Education engages with several key questions explored on-screen, including: What does it mean to be a good teacher? How do these good teachers instuct? When is and what makes teaching complex? What constitutes learning? Do educational reforms work? The book's interdisciplinary group of contributors answers these important questions in essays highlighting Hollywood, independent, and documentary films. Prospective and practicing teachers will engage with the thought-provoking educational issues raised in this book and gain insight into the complexities of teaching and learning portrayed in film"-- Provided by publisher.
