{"product_id":"reconstructing-education-greta-hofman-nemiroff-9780897892667","title":"Reconstructing Education: Toward a Pedagogy of Critical Humanism","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing on elements of progressive education, existential theory, feminist pedagogy, and values education, critical humanism combines the holistic-psychological concerns of humanistic education with the sociopolitical contextualization of critical pedagogy. Developed over the past seventeen years in one of North America's most experimental postsecondary programs, The New School of Dawson College, this theory and practice responds to both the personal and the political needs of students. Reconstructing Education is at once a review of this century's educational theories, an account of the work at the school, and an empowering illustration of the way in which schools can incite the motivation of students and encourage them to become active members in a truly democratic society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe case study chapters on The New School give concrete examples of how this philosophy is manifested in the school's methodology, structure, and pedagogy and draws heavily on the written work of teachers and students. To formulate a similar approach for a specific school, it is essential to combine a rigorous analysis of existing educational models with the dialectical process of creating and recreating a new model defined by the articulation of both learners' and teachers' affective, cognitive, and socially constructed needs. This is a valuable book for anyone concerned with alternative approaches to education and for courses on educational theory or the philosophy of education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greta Hofman Nemiroff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0897892666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780897892667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Greta Hofman Nemiroff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136188199167,"sku":"9780897892667","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cebe3aa1-542d-4336-860a-67017ef1714c.jpg?v=1770161101","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconstructing-education-greta-hofman-nemiroff-9780897892667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
