Deep Education Across the Disciplines and Beyond

Angebote / Angebote:

Deep Education in the Disciplines and Beyond represents a rich tapestry of knowledge from teachers and education scholars from around the world and from different backgrounds and nationalities, races, ethnicities, all of whom are grounded in the same theoretical framework of Deep Education by François Victor Tochon. The Deep Education theory is the foundation of a new educational movement based on a unified, progressive framework of education and society that fundamentally believes in and supports unwaveringly the capacity, autonomy, creativity and emotional lives of the student to be nourished and flourished in inherently collaborative, social settings for pedagogical purposes. This framework moreover establishes the rationale for a revisioning of not only our students and our pedagogy but even our current and future selves. Because life itself is both process and project-oriented, the authors of this volume understand that these same principles and approaches are applied beyond disciplines and educational contexts, and are necessarily transdisciplinary. Thus it is critical that we make available our principles beliefs and values now more than ever, to instantiate critical pedagogy across and beyond disciplines, as we strive to leave the world a better place than we find it for our future and the futures of our students. The singular, most effective way to do this is, of course, through education.Deep Education and the Deep Approach strive to liberate or emancipate the learner from various forms of control and effectively place ownership in the hands of the student, trusting that the student knows what is best for herself and himself. Recognizing that this requires exploration and entails "speed bumps" to realize a goal, it asks teachers to radically reconsider the type of authority they wield in the classroom by the virtue of the curriculum they design and implement as well as their own character attributes and reservoir of compassion and empathy.
