Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching Paperback – 1 May 2015
Purchase options and add-ons
Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching explores the diverse beliefs and practices that define the current landscape of formal education. The 3rd edition of this introduction to interdisciplinary studies of teaching and learning to teach is restructured around four prominent historical moments in formal education: Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education, Systemic Sustainability Education. These moments serve as the foci of the four sections of the book, each with three chapters dealing respectively with history, epistemology, and pedagogy within the moment. This structure makes it possible to read the book in two ways – either "horizontally" through the four in-depth treatments of the moments or "vertically" through coherent threads of history, epistemology, and pedagogy. Pedagogical features include suggestions for delving deeper to get at subtleties that can’t be simply stated or appreciated through reading alone, several strategies to highlight and distinguish important vocabulary in the text, and more than 150 key theorists and researchers included among the search terms and in the Influences section rather than a formal reference list.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read for educators
Verified PurchaseThis is an interesting book for educators to read. Discussed are four "moments" in education beginning with standardized education during the industrial revolution. Each moment presents how knowing, learning, and teaching occur through theories based in that moment. The book presents some eye-opening information about how schooling, for the most part, hasn't changed since the industrial revolution, but also discusses more current movements in education from the last 100 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you need for progressive education
Verified PurchaseThis is a rare book in education. It provides a clear framework for the history and movement of progressive education and pushes into what the future looks like for progressive educators. It's an expensive text, but worth more to me than the rest of my library on education.
I didn't have the problem of repeated text as the other reviewer did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for educational purposes
Verified PurchaseA very useful text on various teaching and learning pedagogies. Provides an excellent analysis of past, present and future practices in education. Only downside is it is quite overpriced.
