| Summary |
"This book makes an intervention in a long-standing discussion by arguing that education should be world-centred rather than child-centred or curriculum-centred. It explores what an existential orientation to education entails and why this should be an urgent concern for education today. He highlights the importance of teaching, not understood as the transmission of knowledge and skills but as an act of (re)directing the attention of students to the world, so that they may encounter what the world is asking from them. This text demonstrates to academics, students, teachers, school administrators, and teacher educators, the urgency of a world-centred orientation for education today"-- Provided by publisher |
