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.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a provocative but carefully argued addition to the theory and practice of education in developing countries. The book provides an ethical and empirical justification for support of formalistic teaching in primary and secondary schools in developing countries. It also refutes the application of progressive education principles to curriculum and pre- and in-service teacher education in such contexts. The central focus of this book is the formalistic teaching prevalent in the classrooms of many developing countries. Formalistic ('teacher-centred', 'traditional', 'didactic', 'pedagogic') teaching is appropriate in the many countries with revelatory epistemologies, unpopular and old-fashioned though these methods may seem in some western, especially Anglophone, ones. Formalism has been the object of many failed progressive curriculum and teacher education reforms in developing countries for some 50 years. 292 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789400798663
