Download or read book On Education written by Harry Brighouse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is education for? Should it produce workers or educate future citizens? Is there a place for faith schools - and should patriotism be taught? In this compelling and controversial book, Harry Brighouse takes on all these urgent questions and more. He argues that children share four fundamental interests: the ability to make their own judgements about what values to adopt; acquiring the skills that will enable them to become economically self-sufficient as adults; being exposed to a range of activities and experiences that will enable them to flourish in their personal lives; and developing a sense of justice. He criticises sharply those who place the interests of the economy before those of children, and assesses the arguments for and against the controversial issues of faith schools and the teaching of patriotism. Clearly argued but provocative, On Education draws on recent examples from Britain and North America as well as famous thinkers on education such as Aristotle and John Locke. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the present state of education and its future.

Book Synopsis Democracy and Education by : John Dewey
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Education: Creating Thinkers to Improve the World is a curricular resource that offers theoretical concepts and practical advice for teaching lessons in design to PreK-12 grade students. The book is for art educators at the preK-12 level in schools, museums, and enrichment programs, and university professors in teacher preparation programs. Design education is about problem-solving, learning through objects of our daily lives, and the role design plays in social responsibility and the creative economy. Designers utilize research methods, technology, sketching, and the construction of prototypes. The basis of these techniques, systems, and tools may be taught to Prek-12 students. Students need lifelong skills that build their creativity and problem-solving capabilities to better understand the world and themselves and use visual communication to advance their abilities to express ideas. Design is a study about life and can touch on all school subjects, making it a valuable interdisciplinary study. Students are able to directly apply thinking strategies and learning about facts, figures, and concepts at the same time they are crafting meaningful ideas about the importance, influence, and social implications of everyday items and the potential to improve the world.
Book Synopsis Independent Schools, Independent Thinkers by : Pearl Rock Kane
Download or read book Independent Schools, Independent Thinkers written by Pearl Rock Kane and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1992-02-04 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exeter. Groton. Deerfield. Independent schools have long been viewed as bastions of the rich--undemocratic by their very nature and antithetical to the goals and spirit of public education. Increasingly, however, leading educators in private and public schools, along with university scholars and government policy makers, are becoming aware of the distinctive attributes of independent schools within the larger context of public policy for our national education system. The 25 essays in this book take a comprehensive, provocative, and often critical look at a sector of private schools that has been allowed to develop relatively free of government intervention. The essays feature contributions by leading educators such as Robert Coles, Diane Ravitch, and Maxine Green; policy analysts such as John Chubb, Terry Moe, and Albert Shanker; and teachers and administrators such as Deborah Meier, Richard Hawley, and Bill Honig. Those intimately involved with independent education will discover in this book a range of topics and a variety of opinions that will enlarge ongoing discussions and provoke new thinking. And those unfamiliar with independent education will find an introduction to the nature and culture of the schools and learn about the ways independent schools can enrich the current public policy debate on school choice.
