Educating for Humanity (eBook, ePUB)

The Holistic Principle

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the international landscape of educational scholarship, policy, and practice. Tucker argues there is a fundamental aim for world education. It is to educate complete human beings in all their dimensions, such that they become the best persons they can be, and participate fully in 'the human story'.

Tucker asks: What is the world of education for? What is it that early childhood centers, schools and local communities are meant to do for children and their learning? Representing a decade of research, the text examines the most common concepts of the purposes of education, human nature and learning offered by scholars, international authorities and pedagogies, nations, education organizations, neuroscience, early childhood educators, and individual schools. To 'educate for humanity', Tucker provides a complete concept of holistic education - of whole child and holistic learning for a whole world.

The book is an essential resource for those involved in the world of education - teachers, university administrators, school authorities, policy makers, and educational organizations. Parents and community members with a strong interest in the education of all children will also find much that is informative and challenging to think about.
