After all, the former is an ancient Chinese tradition, and the latter is a modern phenomenon. But this book shows otherwise, by explaining how millennia-old Confucian ideas and practices can inform, inspire and improve school administration, teaching and learning today. Drawing upon major Confucian texts such as the \u003ci\u003eAnalects \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMencius \u003c\/i\u003e, as well as influential thinkers such as Confucius, Zhu Xi and Empress Xu, the various chapters address current educational issues and challenges such as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- What roles do schools play in fighting the coronavirus pandemic?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- How can humanity resolve the climate emergency?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- What (more) should school leaders do to promote education for girls?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Is there more to lifelong learning than just skills upgrading?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- What is missing in the existing frameworks on 21st century competencies?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- What new initiatives are needed to champion sustainable development?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfucian Philosophy for Contemporary Education answers the above questions and more by presenting a Confucian model of education. The author proposes a Confucian school where \u003ci\u003eDao \u003c\/i\u003e- a shared vision of human excellence - is realised through a mindful, learning-centred, action-oriented and ultimately humanising form of education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a useful resource for academic researchers, educators, students and general readers on Confucian philosophy and its continual relevance for present-day education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlene Tan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367519143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367519148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Charlene Tan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056010653951,"sku":"9780367519148","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_304324da-99db-4af3-a097-2b2ba10e3350.jpg?v=1685039029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confucian-philosophy-for-contemporary-education-charlene-tan-9780367519148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
