Book Description
En una época donde la diversidad humana, desde sus diferentes manifestaciones, requiere de prácticas en las que se aborden las diferencias, se hace necesaria una educación donde exista la posibilidad de convivir en un ambiente de equidad y equiparación de oportunidades. Hablar sobre pedagogía crítica es rememorar a Paulo Freire, quien avizoraba en la educación una esperanza y posibilidad para aquellos grupos que denominaba como «oprimidos»; en esta misma perspectiva, habría que traer a la conversación a Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren, Michael W. Apple, Rigoberto Martínez Escárcega, entre otros autores que, a través de este movimiento, se preocuparon por la reflexión en torno a las desigualdades sociales y las relaciones de poder en los contextos educativos. Es así como el lector encontrará la confluencia entre la pedagogía crítica y las prácticas docentes transformativas, donde el acercamiento a las comunidades escolares, el conocimiento de sus problemáticas y su participación reflexiva son esenciales en la formación de los actuales y futuros educadores.

Book Description
Si el microcosmos del aula es la réplica del macrocosmos de la sociedad, si las relaciones de poder actúan tanto en uno como en otro con el objeto de perpetuar un orden social dividido entre grupos dominantes y grupos subordinados, si los primeros universalizan sus pautas y sus criterios como una «herencia nacional» y un patrimonio de «valores comunes», ¿existe algún camino para salir de las condiciones que generan el racismo, el sexismo, la pobreza y la opresión en general? Y si existe, ¿tiene la pedagogía algún aporte que hacer a él? Sí, contesta Giroux; ese camino –y ese objetivo– es la democracia radical, y la pedagogía crítica puede contribuir a su realización elaborando un lenguaje de la posibilidad y la esperanza que muestre cómo opera el poder en el aula, cómo puede la consideración de las historias y experiencias que los alumnos llevan a ella fomentar un clima de respeto por la diferencia cultural y cómo, finalmente, actúa un proyecto político y pedagógico multicultural –la unidad en la diferencia– para convertir la relación entre el poder y el conocimiento en una lucha emancipatoria tanto en la escuela como en el mundo.

Book Description
This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.

Book Description
The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
