Biography

Andrea Raiker is an independent consultant and researcher in Higher Education, in the UK and internationally.

Matti Rautiainen is Vice Head of the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

‘The authors illustrate the multiple dimensions of democracy in education, from classroom practices and classroom interactions to ideologies underlying the curriculum and educational policy. This book combines in an excellent way reflection and practice, and not least therefore it is relevant reading for teachers and prospective teachers. This volume is based on shared expertise of scholars from two countries, discussing intensively and systematically the opportunities and significance, but also the challenges, of democratic education.’

Arja Virta, Professor of History and Social Science Education, Department of Teacher Education, the University of Turku, Finland
