Most people would not associate Confucian philosophy with
contemporary education. After all, the former is an ancient Chinese
tradition, and the latter is a modern phenomenon. But this book
shows otherwise, by explaining how millennia-old Confucian ideas
and practices can inform, inspire and improve school
administration, teaching and learning today. Drawing upon major
Confucian texts such as the Analects and Mencius , as well as
influential thinkers such as Confucius, Zhu Xi and Empress Xu, the
various chapters address current educational issues and challenges
such as the following: * What roles do schools play in fighting the
coronavirus pandemic? * How can humanity resolve the climate
emergency? * What (more) should school leaders do to promote
education for girls? * Is there more to lifelong learning than just
skills upgrading? * What is missing in the existing frameworks on
21st century competencies? * What new initiatives are needed to
champion sustainable development? Confucian Philosophy for
Contemporary Education answers the above questions and more by
presenting a Confucian model of education. The author proposes a
Confucian school where Dao - a shared vision of human excellence -
is realised through a mindful, learning-centred, action-oriented
and ultimately humanising form of education. This book is a useful
resource for academic researchers, educators, students and general
readers on Confucian philosophy and its continual relevance for
present-day education.
