Description
Summary:This book originated from a need to provide a suitable text for educators - trainee teachers, teachers, school leaders, and other educational stakeholders - to engage in philosophical reflections. Philosophical perspectives in education are particularly relevant today as we live in an increasingly complex world. Educators are constantly bombarded by a barrage of educational ideas and practices which threaten to challenge and undermine the traditional ways of teaching and learning. This volume of essays written by an international team of philosophers and educators invites the readers to embark on a philosophical journey to reflect on and critically discuss key philosophical concepts, issues and challenges in education today.
