Educational Studies













What is Educational Studies?
Educational Studies varies from school to school. In fact, in some schools of education, Educational Studies is the umbrella term for many different fields within education. However, at most institutions, Educational Studies is best defined as the social, cultural, philosophical and historical foundations of education. At many universities, the field of Educational Studies is called "Social & Cultural Studies in Education," or "Social & Cultural Foundations of Education." The American Educational Studies Association defines its organization as being  "primarily comprised of college and university professors who teach and research in the field of education utilizing one or more of the liberal arts disciplines of philosophy, history, politics, sociology, anthropology, or economics as well as comparative/international and cultural studies. The purpose of social foundations study is to bring intellectual resources derived from these areas to bear in developing interpretive, normative, and critical perspectives on education, both inside and outside of schools". I tend to think of it as applying a philosophical, political, sociological, historical and/or cultural lens to solving complex educational problems.
