Influences, issues and concepts for education: a glossary

The glossary offers straightforward guidance when new names, terms, issues or references are encountered. The compendium supports deeper understanding and reflection by presenting related terms together. It is worth exploring with that in mind.

• Influences constitute and create the contexts in which education takes place.
• Classroom practices can then be described in terms of three, inter-related ‘message systems’ of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment.
• Finally, of course, there are Outcomes and consequences.
