Eminent educational philosopher Nel Noddings draws on John Dewey's
foundational work to reimagine education's aims and curriculum for
the 21st century. Noddings looks at education as a multi-aim
enterprise in which schools must address needs in all three domains
of life: home and family, occupational, and civic. She raises
critical questions about the current enthusiasm for
standardisation, the search for ''one-best-way'' solutions, and the
practice of maintaining a sharp separation between the disciplines.
Comprehensive in its scope, chapters examine the liberal arts
curriculum, vocational education, restructuring secondary school,
extracurricular activities, national and global citizenship,
critical thinking, and moral education. Noddings argues that we
must find ways to preserve our commitment to democratic values
while adapting to the societal changes that have occurred since
Dewey wrote Democracy and Education almost a century ago. She urges
not only a critical appraisal of current practice but also a
cooperative and imaginative exploration of the future.
