The 110 chapters review the various strands of this cultural and interpretive tradition, culminating in discussion of Kinchelhoe's postformalist approach to educational psychology, which draws on insights from the Frankfurt School, feminist theory, the development theory of Jean Piaget, the ethical concerns of liberation theology, and a variety of other critical theories. - Reference & Research Book News This set would be a very good reference resource for many high school students.
