Education in context examines the significance of education across time and in diverse places in the world, including the History, Philosophy, and Sociology with social and political impacts that constructed the goals and structure of today’s differing educational systems. The contributions of classical and modern philosophers, their influence on contemporary education, and the role and function of the instructor will be analyzed. Investigation of globalization and the nature of various educational systems and values will furnish a context for reflecting on one’s own individual philosophy of education.
