Kritt Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9783319660493, 3319660497 eText ISBN: 9783319660509, 3319660500 Copyright year: 2018 Format: EPUB Available from $ 29.99 USD SKU 9783319660509 This book contrasts authentic approaches to education with classroom practices based primarily on standards external to the individuals who are supposed to learn. While other books tend to promote either a desperate scramble for meeting standards or determined resistance to neoliberal reforms, this book fills that gap in ways that will inspire practitioners, prospective teachers, and teacher educators. Mandates pay only lip service to constructivist and social constructivist principles while thwarting the value of both students and teachers actively creating understandings. Authors in this book assert the central importance of a range of constructivist approaches to teaching, learning, and thinking, inviting careful reflection on the goals and values of education.
