Description:Should education be understood mainly as a practice in its own right, or is it essentially a subordinate affair to be shaped and controlled by a society s powers-that-be?What difference does it make if students are chiefly viewed as recipients of a set of skills and knowledge, or as active participants in their own learningDoes education have a responsibility in cultivating humanity s maturity, or are its purposes to be effectively matched to the functional requirements of a globalized ageThe New Significance of Learning explores these and other high-stakes questions. It challenges hierarchical and custodial conceptions of education that have been inherited as the natural order of things. It discloses a more original and imaginative understanding of educational practice, illustrating this understanding with frequent practical examples. ?Among the merits highlighted by this approach are:a recognition that education is first and foremost an invitation to join a renewed experience of quest and disclosure; a realisation that taking up and pursuing such an invitation is a basic right, as distinct from a privilege to be bestowed or withheld;? an awareness of the decisive importance of specific kinds relationships in practices of teaching and learning; an emphasis on the human qualities as well as the intellectual achievements nourished by dedicated communities of learning; an acknowledgement of partiality of incompleteness and bias in even the best of humankind s learning efforts; the emergence of a distinctive ethical orientation for education as a practice in its own right.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
