Contemporary Issues in Curriculum
$56.90The second edition of this issues-oriented collection offers forty articles by the major thinkers in curriculum study. Balanced, yet eclectic in its approach, Contemporary Issues in Curriculum reflects the emergent trends in the field of curriculum. Designed for students in curriculum, instruction, administration, and teacher education, it explores the issues that affect implementation, planning, and evaluation of curriculum at all levels of learning. The editors have organized the collection into six parts: Curriculum and Philosophy, Curriculum and Teaching, Curriculum and Learning, Curriculum and Instruction, Curriculum and Supervision, and Curriculum and Policy. The readings reflect both traditionally held beliefs and those that are more controversial in nature, providing students and practitioners the opportunity to investigate the breadth of issues that affect curriculum and to access such information in a single source. Readers are encouraged to examine and debate these issues, to formulate their own ideas, and to shape what direction the field of curriculum should take.

A Philosophy of Education
$23.90This book begins with an original and critical analysis of the influence of Cartesian philosophical anthropology in educational thinking and proposes an Aristotelian attentiveness to practical reasons as an alternative. Pedagogical insights are developed and defended against Kantian and Humean objections. The author then argues for a meaningful education concerned with human rights, interpreted intelligently and grounded in one’s responsibilities to promote the common good and the basic aspects of human well-being. This text is an authoritative explication and creative retrieval of natural law theory for the field of philosophy of education. It will be useful not only to students of philosophy of education, but would also benefit students in education studies in general, as well as those interested in ethics, political theory and cultural studies.
