Book SynopsisThis book explores the international landscape of educational scholarship, policy, and practice. Tucker argues there is a fundamental aim for world education. It is to educate complete human beings in all their dimensions, such that they become the best persons they can be, and participate fully in âthe human storyâ.
Tucker asks: What is the world of education for? What is it that early childhood centres, schools and local communities are meant to do for children and their learning? Representing a decade of research, the text examines the most common concepts of the purposes of education, human nature and learning offered by scholars, international authorities and pedagogies, nations, education organizations, neuroscience, early childhood educators, and individual schools. To âeducate for humanityâ, Tucker provides a complete concept of holistic education â of whole child and holistic learning for a whole world.
