Abraham Edel answers these questions in the course of exploring education.

Eminent educational philosopher Nel Noddings draws on John Dewey's foundational work to reimagine education's aims and curriculum for the 21st century.

Die asthetisch-autobiographische Textstruktur wahrt nachdruckliche Distanz zur gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit. Dadurch ist sie in der Lage, m...

Globalization is changing what citizens need to know and be able to do by interrupting the assumption that the actions of citizens only take place within national borders.

The outcomes of globalization have led educators to rethink what students need to learn and be able to do as citizens in a globally connected world. This volume focuses on research that examine...
