A New Vision of Liberal Education
Author: Alistair Miller
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317410866
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
‘This is an extremely important book. Wonderfully well researched and written, it develops a powerful argument about how we should conceive of the aims of education and design curricula. It should define the field for a very considerable period of time.’ - Professor Michael J Reiss, Institute of Education, University of London, UK Many philosophers of education believe that the main aim of education is to endow students with personal autonomy, producing citizens who are reflective, make rational choices, and submit their values and beliefs to critical scrutiny. This book argues that the ‘good life’ need not be the life of the philosopher, politician or critical thinker, but that an ordinary ‘unexamined’ life is also worth living. Central to this ethical life is the engagement in worthwhile activities or ‘practices’, and the best way to prepare pupils for their engagement in these practices is to cultivate a range of moral and intellectual virtues. In this book, Alistair Miller brings together a range of philosophical and historical perspectives to argue for a new vision of liberal education: liberal in the sense that it forms a moral and cultural inheritance, new in the sense that it would enable all pupils to lead flourishing lives. Divided into two sections, the first part of the book seeks to establish the justified aims of education in a liberal democratic society; the second part explores the nature of the school curriculum that might realise these aims. A New Vision of Liberal Education will appeal to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of philosophy of education, moral and values education, liberal education, and curriculum studies.

Akose Reader and Grammar
Author: Joseph Ajale Ekane
Publisher: Spears Media Press
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Akɔ́sè Reader and Grammar presents findings of over ten years of research and development in writing Akɔ́sè. It is intended to facilitate the writing, reading, and speaking of Akɔ́sè, the three important elements in language teaching. It consists of twenty-five sections which deal mainly with the grammatical structure or composition of the Akɔ́sè language, knowledge which is intended to assist the reader in reading or speaking Akɔ́sè fluently and correctly. The book deals firstly with diacritics, which, if well mastered, would enable the reader to read easily and fluently. Diacritics indicate the rise and fall of the pitch of the voice in speaking. They play an important role in Akɔ́sè in that they differentiate between tenses and pairs of words of similar spelling and, through that, give them grossly different meanings. Secondly, the book doesn’t provide passages to serve as reading material but instead provides Akɔ́sè words and sentences to be read or learnt. From the reading of words, the reader progresses to reading Akɔ́sè sentences. This is achieved through the numerous sentence drill tables in the book. Numerous exercises have been provided in the book for oral or written work. Anyone who goes through the sentence drill tables and exercises provided will undoubtedly be able to write, read and speak Akɔ́sè with comparative ease and fluently.
