The emphasis is on the use of critical thinking to understand and collaborate, not simply to win arguments. The authors describe how critical thinking that encourages dialogue across the school disciplines and across social\/economic classes prepares students for participation in democracy. They offer specific, concrete strategies for addressing a variety of issues related to authority, religion, gender, race, media, sports, entertainment, class and poverty, capitalism and socialism, and equality and justice. The goal is to develop individuals who can examine their own beliefs, those of their own and other groups, and those of their nation, and can do so with respect and understanding for others' values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderscores the necessity of moral commitment in the use of critical thinking.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers assistance for handling controversial issues that many teachers find unsettling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProposes a way for students and teachers to work together across the disciplines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nel Noddings, Laurie Brooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807757802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807757802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nel Noddings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988279165183,"sku":"9780807757802","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08df7c47-9e45-454f-8cd3-5608fd85f1db.jpg?v=1683293632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-controversial-issues-nel-noddings-9780807757802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
