This text provides a brief, yet comprehensive, overview of a number of non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. The history of education, as it has been conceived and taught in the United States (and generally in the West), has focused almost entirely on the ways in which our own educational tradition emerged, developed, and changed over the course of the centuries. Although understandable, this means the many ways that other societies have sought to meet many of the same challenges have been ignored. This book seeks to redress this omission. Its premise is that gaining an understanding of the ways that other peoples educate their children--as well as what counts for them as "education"--may help us to think more clearly about some of our own assumptions and values, as well as to become more open to alternative viewpoints about important educational matters.
Because it is not traditionally included in the training of educators, very few have had any real exposure to non-Western educational traditions. Thus, the audience for this book is broad and diverse. Intended as a text for both preservice and in-service teachers, each chapter includes pedagogically helpful "Questions for Discussion and Reflection" and "Recommended Further Readings." The book is equally appropriate for advanced students in graduate programs as well as faculty members.
New in the Second Edition:
The text has been thoroughly revised to expand and clarify points, update chapters as needed, and improve the pedagogical usefulness of the text. A section on Mayan education has been added to the chapter on the Mesoamerican educational experience. One entirely new chapter "'Familiar Strangers': The Case of the Rom" has been included.
The history of education in the United States, has the author argues, focused almost entirely on the ways in which the educational system emerged, developed and changed over the course of the centuries. In contrast, this text examines the many ways that other societies have sought to meet the same challenges. The volume provides a brief yet comprehensive review of a small number of other non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. Understanding the ways that other peoples have tried to educate their children - as well as what counted for them as education - may help us to think more clearly about some of our assumptions and values, which scope to become more open to alternative viewpoints about educational matters.
