J. Krishnamurti and Educational Practice: Social and Moral Vision for Inclusive Education: Education and Society in South Asia

Editat de Meenakshi Thapan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 oct 2018
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) was a world-renowned philosopher, speaker, educationist, and writer. This edited volume seeks to contextualize his teachings and its contemporary relevance in educational endeavours and practices in different parts of the country. The contributors to the volume argue that Krishnamurti sought to change the way education is perceived, from the mere teaching of knowledge and skills, into a life-changing experience of learning from relationships and life. The intent of this volume is thus twofold- first, to draw out the educational ideas of Krishnamurti based on his writings and talks to teachers and students at the various schools that he helped establish and from the legacy that he bequeathed to these institutions. Secondly, it seeks to uncover the practices and processes at some of these institutions through a range of essays that address diverse issues and themes. These include essays on curriculum building, inclusive education, pedagogy in classroom teaching, debates on educational philosophy and practice etc. They help bring out the breakthroughs and barriers in the educational processes as practiced in these schools. This volume is aimed at understanding the relationship between education and society through both the analyses of the educational practices in these schools as well as their role in contemporary society.
