Education and Hope in Troubled Times
Author: H. Svi Shapiro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135847851
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
"Progressive educators have always been better at critique than at possibility. This book promises not to ignore critique, but to favor possibility. It is most rare and greatly welcomed." Richard Quantz, Miami University "The editor argues that in a material world, depicted by consumerism, spiritual nihilism and conspicuous consumption, there is need to offer a new vision and direction in education that would promote a more harmonious, holistic values-oriented schooling that transforms persons into moral beings, who care for others.... In terms of innovative ideas and approaches to pedagogy and theorizing about schooling, this volume is at the top of pedagogical discourses and thinking." Joseph Zajda, Australian Catholic University (Melbourne Campus) Education and Hope in Troubled Times brings together a group of the best and most creative educational thinkers to reflect on the purpose and future of public education. These original essays by leading social and educational commentators in North America attempt to articulate a new vision for education, especially public education, and begin to set an alternative direction. This is a time of crisis, but also of renewed possibility—one that offers the opportunity to radically reconsider what is the meaning of education for a generation that will bear the brunt of grappling with the extraordinary dangers and challenges we confront today. At its core this volume questions what will it mean to be an educated human being in the 21st century compelled to confront and address so much that threatens the very basis of a decent and hopeful human existence. Carrying forward a project of redefining and reshaping public discourse on education in the U.S., it is a critical catalyst and focus for re-thinking public policy on education.

Education and Evolution
Author: Charles R. Reid
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780761815952
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
In Education and Evolution, Charles R. Reid delves exhaustively into the future problems of K-12 education in the United States. Reid explains how to best achieve effective individual learning, and takes into account both the age-old philosophical issues and the technological possibilities that the future clearly holds for the educational enterprise. Reid cites such contemporary problems as the failure of instructors to achieve a true intellectual interchange with the pupil and the lack of evidence that test scores reflect acquired knowledge. He then weaves together a powerful philosophical argument in favor of various experimental devices that the U.S. educational system may use to alleviate these detriments to true learning. A stimulating read for both the professional educator and the lay person, Education and Evolution is an insightful glimpse at 21st Century learning possibilities.
