Radical-Local Teaching and Learning

A Cultural-Historical Approach

Edición de la obra Radical-local teaching and learning

"Radical-Local Teaching and Learning presents a theoretical perspective for analyzing and planning educational programmes for schoolchildren. To realize both general societal interests and worthwhile personal development, the content of educational programmes for children must be grounded in the local conditions within which the children live. Through working with this content, children should appropriate an understanding of general concepts from subject-matter disciplines, which they can use as tools for analyzing their own life conditions. These are distinctive features of a successful radical-local teaching and learning approach." "This book will be interesting and useful for educational researchers, curriculum planners, teacher educators, and others who are interested in problems of creating educational programmes for both cultural majorities and cultural minorities in a way that acknowledges the conditions of their life situation."--BOOK JACKET.
