Development education is much more than learning about
development; it is a pedagogy for the globalised societies of the
twenty-first century that incorporates discourses from critical
pedagogy and postcolonialism, and a mechanism for ensuring that
differing perspectives are reflected within education, particularly
those from developing countries. Learning about development and
global issues is now part of the school curriculum in a number of
countries, and terms such as global citizenship, sustainable
development and cultural understanding are commonplace in many
educational contexts. Development education has been recognised as
one of the educational discourses that has influenced the
acceptance of these terms, for both policy-makers and
practitioners.
This ground-breaking volume addresses the history, theoretical
influences, practices and impact of development education in
Europe, North America, Australia and Japan. Chapters include how
development education evolved, the influence of theorists such as
Paulo Freire, the practices of aid and development agencies, and
the impact of governments seeking evidence of public understanding
of and engagement with development. "
The Theory and Practice of Development Education" provides
essential reading for anyone engaged in re-thinking and reflecting
upon the educational needs of a globalised society, and seeking
approaches towards learning that place social justice at the heart
of that practice. It will be of particular interest to academics
and postgraduate students in the fields of development education,
international education and globalisation.
