Educating for Real - The training of professionals for development practice (Paperback)

This collection of 12 interdisciplinary essays explores topics central to the education of development professionals, in particular planners, urban designers, engineers and architects. How should education respond? Are today's approaches to research and teaching appropriate to the realities in the field? How best can students be equipped, technically, methodologically and intellectually? Why study in "developed" countries at all? These are some of the questions addressed by the essays in the light of changes in global, political and economic systems, rapid demographic changes, protracted ethnic conflict, and political and economic reforms. The text is divided into three sections, which together provide a comparative assessment of the issues from the perspective of developing countries: education on education; practitioners on practice and fieldwork; students on research methods, and the value of first-world education.
