Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching

Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching explores the diverse beliefs and practices that define the current landscape of formal education. The 3rd edition of this introduction to interdisciplinary studies of teaching and learning to teach is restructured around four prominent historical moments in formal education: Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education, Systemic Sustainability Education. These moments serve as the foci of the four sections of the book, each with three chapters dealing respectively with history, epistemology, and pedagogy within the moment. This structure makes it possible to read the book in two ways – either”horizontally”� through the four in-depth treatments of the moments or”vertically”� through coherent threads of history, epistemology, and pedagogy. Pedagogical features include suggestions for delving deeper to get at subtleties that can’t be simply stated or appreciated through reading alone, several strategies to highlight and distinguish important vocabulary in the text, and more than 150 key theorists and researchers included among the search terms and in the Influences section rather than a formal reference list.Additional ISBNs1138905410, 1138905402, 9781138905412, 9781138905405, 1317444302, 1317444299, 1317444280, 1315695898, 9781317444305, 9781317444299, 9781317444282, 9781315695891Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching 3rd Edition is written by Brent Davis; Dennis Sumara; Rebecca Luce-Kapler and published by Routledge.
