Download or read book Non Western Educational Traditions written by Timothy G. Reagan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-09-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a brief yet comprehensive overview of a number of non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. Its premise is that understanding the ways that other people educate their children--as well as what counts for them as "education"--may help us think more clearly about some of our own assumptions and values, and to become more open to alternative viewpoints about important educational matters. The value of this informative, mind-opening text for preservice and in-service teacher education courses is enhanced by "Questions for Discussion and Reflection" and "Recommended Further Readings" included in each chapter. New in the Third Edition: *Chapter 2, "Conceptualizing Culture:" 'I, We, and The Other,' is new to this edition. It is a response to feedback about the problems inherent in our general discourse about "culture," and in addition provides an example of a culture that is near to us but nevertheless alien-the culture of the Deaf-World. *Chapter 9-which deals with Islam and traditional Muslim education-has been substantially revised. *The subtitle of the Third Edition has been changed to Indigenous Approaches to Educational Thought and Practice, reflecting not so much a change in the emphases found in the book, but rather, a recognition of the growing scholarly interest in indigenous peoples, their languages, cultures, and histories. *Various points throughout the text have been expanded and clarified, and chapters have been updated as needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is growing increasingly complex and confused—a unique and urgent context that calls for a grounded and fresh approach to Christian higher education. Christian higher education involves a distinctive way of thinking about teaching, learning, scholarship, curriculum, student life, administration, and governance that is rooted in the historic Christian faith. In this volume, twenty-nine experts from a variety of fields, including theology, the humanities, science, mathematics, social science, philosophy, the arts, and professional programs, explore how the foundational beliefs of Christianity influence higher education and its disciplines. Aimed at equipping the next generation to better engage the shifting cultural context, this book calls students, professors, trustees, administrators, and church leaders to a renewed commitment to the distinctive work of Christian higher education—for the good of the society, the good of the church, and the glory of God.

Download or read book Education in the Light of Tradition written by Jane Casewit and published by World Wisdom, Inc. This book was released on 2011 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'Education systems are failing their societies' is the message often conveyed by families and young people to governments and media today. The dismal state of a country's education system is said to be a reflection of the condition of the society it is meant to serve. What are we teaching young people today? Do we understand what they need to learn for their ultimate well being? In traditional societies, education was the means by which knowledge of the Divine Principle and its relation to the human soul was transmitted to young generations. Addressing a theme rarely discussed in philosophical and educational circles, this unique volume attempts to rediscover the truths and values engrained in traditional education systems. Some of the articles also go to the heart of the woes of modern public education systems."--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: "Education is a high priority for Native Hawaiian families today, even while many Native Hawaiian children are identified for remedial or special education. But there was a period in Hawaiian history when the literacy rates for Native Hawaiians, both children and adults, was higher than that of the United States. What happened and what can we learn from that situation in addressing the education needs of Native Hawaiians today? In A'o Malcolm Näea Chun takes the reader through the fascinating story of how Native Hawaiians learned, why learning and knowledge were prized in traditional society, and how two systems--native and foreign--combined to achieve one of the highest literacy rates in the world. A'o offers traditional and historical examples that provide insights into the practices of learning and teaching in a native society, bringing together cultural and educational perspectives to help parents, teachers, and administrators develop new ways of learning that are relevant to a culturally based native community"--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Homeschooling written by James G. Dwyer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Homeschooling: The History and Philosophy of a Controversial Practice, James G. Dwyer and Shawn F. Peters examine homeschooling’s history, its methods, and the fundamental questions at the root of the heated debate over whether and how the state should oversee and regulate it. The authors trace the evolution of homeschooling and the law relating to it from before America’s founding to the present day. In the process they analyze the many arguments made for and against it, and set them in the context of larger questions about school and education. They then tackle the question of regulation, and they do so within a rigorous moral framework, one that is constructed from a clear-eyed assessment of what rights and duties children, parents, and the state each possess. Viewing the question through that lens allows Dwyer and Peters to even-handedly evaluate the competing arguments and ultimately generate policy prescriptions. Homeschooling is the definitive study of a vexed question, one that ultimately affects all citizens, regardless of their educational background.

Download or read book Trad Amern Educ written by Cremin and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1979-03-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first lecture, dealing with the period from the beginnings of colonization to the achievement of independence, is derived essentially from American Education: The Colonial Experience, which was published in 1970. My theme there is the successful transplantation of European educational institutions to the New World and their gradual modification under novel conditions. The second lecture, dealing with the first century of nationhood, is drawn from American Education: The National Experience, which has been fully drafted but not yet published. My theme there is the development of an authentic American vernacular in education, expressly intended to advance a popular paideia compounded of democratic hopes, evangelical pieties, and millennial expectations. And the third lecture, dealing with the period since Reconstruction, is based on American Education: The Metropolitan Experience, which has been substantially sketched but not yet fully drafted. My theme there is the transformation and proliferation of American educative agencies under the influence of industrialization, urbanization, technological innovation, and transnational expansion. As in the larger work, I have defined education broadly, as the deliberate, systematic, and sustained effort to transmit, evoke, or acquire knowledge, attitudes, values, skills, or sensibilities, as well as any outcomes of that effort. And I have given particular attention in the lectures to the changing configurations of education at different times in American history and to the various ways in which individuals have interacted with those configurations. The more general theory underlying all this is explicated in the note on problematics and sources appended to the lectures and is further elaborated in Public Education, which may be regarded as a companion to the present volume. - Preface.

Though often invisible to the naked eye, a school's culture influences everything that takes place under its roof.
