Metaphors are more than just linguistic tools; they go far beyond this. By drawing on the known to illuminate the unknown, they shape understanding and profoundly influence learning dynamics, making them particularly relevant in education.

Metaphors for Education explores this theme in depth, offering a comprehensive and enlightening overview of the role and place of metaphors in the field of education. The book examines how metaphors shape pedagogical approaches and conceptions of teaching, and influence learning processes and conceptual development, as well as impact assessment, differentiation and the professional identity of teachers. It also shows how metaphors can provide powerful tools for reflection and transformation in educational practices.

Aimed at teachers, students, educational researchers and enthusiasts alike, this book offers fresh and stimulating perspectives on the contribution of metaphors to learning and teaching.
