Non-Western Educational Traditions: Local Approaches to Thought and Practice - Paperback

by Timothy Reagan (Author)

Informative and mind-opening, this text uniquely provides a comprehensive overview of a range of non-Western approaches to educational thought and practice. Its premise is that understanding the ways that other people educate their children-as well as what counts for them as "education"-may help readers to think more clearly about some of their own assumptions and values, and to become more open to alternative viewpoints about important educational matters.
