Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Western educational practices have become global, the cultural aspects and the problems associated with them have become more apparent as they are contrasted with local ways of learning and knowing in the widely diverse societies around the world. The Western world has tended to assume that its concepts of progress and development should be universally welcomed, especially in countries that are struggling economically. Most cultures tend to feel a similar preference for their own world views. However, the West has had a history of not only ethnocentrism, but colonialism, in which it has forcibly attempted to reshape the cultures, societies, politics, and economics of conquered territories in its own likeness. Though some of the more overt, political colonialist practices have been abandoned, colonial ways of thinking, thinking about thinking, and training in how to think, are still practiced, and these in turn, through the education of each nation-state’s children, affect every aspect of economics, politics, and social development in the global village that our world has become. It is critical to examine the basic assumptions of Western education in order to trace their effects on local ways of knowing in many areas which may not share these assumptions, and which may be threatened and destroyed by them as global interaction in politics, economics, and education increases. The argument that education is primarily a moral endeavor may have been forced into the background for a time by rationalism and secularism, but it is reappearing as an important consideration in education once again. The question remains, however; whose morality should be institutionalized by compulsory educational programs—that of the individual, the family, the professional, the elite, the state, or the nation? And if the rules of science are no longer the single authority in identifying truth and reality, who decides the authorities we should rely on?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a sweeping overview of the historical and philosophical foundations of schooling in the United States. Beginning with education among the indigenous peoples of the Americas and going on to explore European models of schooling brought into the United States by European colonists, the author carefully traces the arc of educational reform through major episodes of the nation’s history. In doing so, Janak establishes links between schools, politics, and society to help readers understand the forces impacting educational policy from its earliest conception to the modern day. Chapters focus on the philosophical, political, and social concepts that shaped schooling of dominant and subcultures in the United States in each period. Far from being merely concerned with theoretical foundations, each chapter also presents a snapshot of the “nuts and bolts” of schooling during each period, examining issues such as pedagogical devices, physical plants, curricular decisions, and funding patterns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods and techniques developed by teachers in the classroom and designed to involve students in a variety of learning activities to enhance their perception and understanding of a global world are the focus of this handbook. The activities described are designed to promote group discussion and to provide the stimulation for a greater variety of learning methods that place emphasis on the relationship between the content of the materials and the teaching process. The handbook is divided into four sections, each of which presents an overview of various approaches to teaching about the non-Western world. Examples of non-Western studies programs are provided, as well as a list of the major resources available for non-Western studies and a review of some of the major curriculum projects available in non-Western studies. Methods suggested for teaching non-Western studies include the use of: (1) content analysis; (2) critical incidents; (3) case studies; (4) situational exercises; (5) role plays; (5) simulations and games; (6) mixed culture groups; (7) cultural assimilators; (8) small group discussions; and (9) field experiences.
