Abstract: |
The eleven chapters in this book by Scandinavian authors look at social pedagogy from different angles, illustrating its applicability to various types of practice, different settings and dissimilar target groups, thus encompassing but going beyond children and young people (the target group usually associated with social pedagogy in a contemporary British context). Bernt Gustvasson sets the scene by establishing a conceptual link between ‘Knowledge, bildung and action in social pedagogy’; obliging the reader to familiarise themselves with the German concept of Bildung, which is education in a wider sense than that usually used in English. The aim of this book is to develop the understanding of learning in and for society where social pedagogy is the starting point that represents a common dimension of knowledge and acting. It is used to describe a variety of processes of learning and perspectives on society. In Europe social pedagogy, both as a knowledge domain and a subject, has for some time now found itself at a crossroads. The strength of social pedagogy lies in its adaptability to social conditions and to the target groups to which it is aimed. Social pedagogy is therefore best understood as something that takes place in the here and now (in situ). |
