Synopsis

This controversial book challenges half a century of conventional wisdom. 'The Progressive Education Fallacy in Developing Countries: In Favour of Formalism' argues that progressive teacher education and curriculum reforms in developing countries are wrong in principle and widespread failures in practice. Rather, formalistic pedagogy is appropriate in many cultures. The book is essential reading for academics, aid and educational professionals, and overseas education students.
