Contemporary Issues in Primary Education
This book was developed as part of the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the journal Education 3–13, which has always had primary education as its main focus. The journal has been published by Routledge since 2007 and is the most important academic publication in the field internationally. This book has been edited by a team of academics and senior practitioners, all of whom are members of the Board of the journal or the Association for the Study of Primary Education (which is the owning body of the journal). It will serve as an excellent resource to researchers and students of primary education. Topics include major contemporary issues such as key challenges in the field, learning and teaching, wellbeing, teachers’ work and professionalism, and outdoor learning. The chapters in this book comprise articles published in Education 3–13 in the last ten years.
Contemporary Issues in Primary Physical Education
This book examines some of the most important issues in primary Physical Education today. With teachers and schools facing a deluge of policy initiatives from government and professional associations, this book helps practitioners and students make sense of, and debate, the current landscape in primary Physical Education and to develop sound, evidence-based practice for each chapter topic. Each chapter explores an issue that is having a significant impact on the development of primary Physical Education, including hot topics such as decolonising Physical Education; Physical Education as a core subject in schools; establishing a pupil-led curriculum, and creating a whole school movement culture. Every chapter provides an overview of the issue, as well as a critical discussion of the significance of the issue, before reflecting on how that issue might affect teaching practice. This book also provides useful guides to further reading around each of the issues raised. Written by two leading researchers in primary Physical Education, both of whom are experienced primary Physical Education teachers, this book is an essential read for any Physical Education student, trainee Physical Education teacher, or in-service teacher looking to extend their professional learning and practice.
Contemporary Issues of Equity in Education

Contemporary Issues of Equity in Education argues that equity and social justice must be brought back to the centre of discussions about education. It traces international, system-wide and local effects of policies that increase marketization and competition between students, schools and systems, whilst erasing wider considerations of the socio-cultural contexts that shape educational experiences and outcomes. Leading researchers interrogate the design of educational systems for social justice, fairness and inclusion at multiple levels from classrooms and schools through to universities and initial teacher education. Chapters trace the ways in which gender, ethnicity, class, and refugee experiences intersect with indices of socio-economic disadvantage in ways that directly impact on young people’s learning and on the pedagogical work of teachers. The book demonstrates collaborative and inclusive approaches for researching schooling in disadvantaged communities. It offers strategies and practices for reimagining schools and universities in ways that enable young people in high poverty and culturally and linguistically diverse communities to effectively engage with education.
