Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This volumea major new contribution to Joel Springs reportage and analysis of the intersection of global forces and educationoffers a new paradigm for global school systems. Education for global economic competition is the prevailing goal of most national school systems. Spring argues that recent international studies by economists, social psychologists, and others on the social factors that support subjective wellbeing and longevity should serve as a call to arms to change education policy; the current industrialconsumer paradigm is not supportive of either happiness or long life.Building his argument through an original documentation, synthesis, and critique of prevailing global economic goals for schools and research on social conditions that support happiness and long life, Spring:*develops guidelines for a global core curriculum, methods of instruction, and school organizations;*translates these guidelines into a new paradigm for global school systems based on progressive, human rights, and environmental educational traditions;*contrasts differing ways of seeing and knowing among indigenous, Western, and Confucianbased societies, concluding that global teaching and learning involve a particular form of holistic knowing and seeing; and*proposes a prototype for a global schoolan ecoschool that functions to protect the biosphere and human rights and to support the happiness and wellbeing of the school staff, students, and immediate communityand for a global core curriculum based on holistic models for lessons and instruction.The book concludes with Springs retelling of Platos parable of the cavein which educators break the chains that bind them to the industrialconsumer paradigm and rethink their commitment to humanitys welfare.
