More copies of this ISBN:Philosophy of Educationby Nel Noddings
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Acclaimed as the "best overview in the field" by the Teaching Philosophy and predicted to "become the standard textbook in philosophy of education" by Educational Theory, this now-classic text includes an entirely new chapter on problems of school reform, examining issues of equality, accountability, standards, and testing. Book News Annotation:Noddings (education emerita, Stanford U.) has added review questions
and literature guides for each chapter and a new chapter on school
reform to this edition to complement her treatment of the philosophy
behind teaching, learning, research and educational policy. In these
11 chapters she introduces students to the philosophy of education of
Socrates and Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, Herbart and
Froebel and details the philosophical and educational thought of John
Dewey, from his ideas on the meaning and ends of education to his
theory of knowledge and responses by modern critics. She covers
analytic and continental philosophy in relation to education, logic
and critical thinking, epistemology, the philosophies of social
science as they relate to educational research, ideas on ethics and
moral education, including those of utilitarianism and the
Enlightenment, current debates in social and political philosophy,
and the impact of feminism.
