Structured around the biographies of acclaimed educators, philosophers and world figures, this text combines both a historical overview of world education and a balanced treatment of leading educational philosophies. It emphasizes both the importance of contexts and situations in the development of educational ideas as well as those features of educational theories that transcend particular historical contexts. The Second Edition has been expanded--now profiling several more educational figures--and updated to reflect recent international developments.

Pearson/Custom Publishing

This comprehensive volume identifies and analyzes the significant ideas and institutions that shaped the Western educational heritage. The author examines how worldwide events have impacted education in Europe, North America, and beyond. The third edition incorporates fresh material about the ancient world, European exploration and colonization of North America and India, as well as updated chapters on education in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Russia. This edition has an expanded treatment of Carl Jung, a new section on Margaret Naumburg and her Walden School, and enhanced analysis of many other theorists. It concludes with broadened coverage of nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century American education, including many educators new to the third edition. Each chapter contains a new feature: Reflection, Discussion, and Research. From Plato and Aristotle to John Dewey, leading educators raised perennial concepts about education and truth, meaning, and value that remain relevant today. In the progression from antiquity to the present, some issues are marked by change and others by continuity-all of which are important to consider, discuss, and research further.

An ambitious, comprehensive account of the events and forces that shaped education in America! Those interested in how the patterns and cycles of education have been molded by historical events, as well as some of the people who crafted them, will benefit from this well-written, well-documented text. In it, Gutek explores how specific international and national incidents, scientific and technological developments, socioeconomic changes, religion, politics, race relations, and social movements have shaped educational strategies, practices, and philosophies during nearly six decades. Important educational issues affecting elementary, secondary, and higher education are discussed, including federal aid to education, desegregation, curricular innovations, the life adjustment movement, open education, and multicultural and gender issues. The author makes it clear in this enriching volume that education has been and always will be an important element in American society.

American Education, 1945-2000 : A History and Commentary

Waveland Pr Inc.

Gutek's rigorously updated second edition targets international education in today's dynamic, interconnected, and interdependent global society. This two-part volume examines and compares educational systems in their national contexts. Part 1 is a blend of historical, philosophical, political, and sociological perspectives on a variety of foundational topics in international education, including the vital interests of developing and developed nation-states; the implications of ethnonationalism; political, economic, environmental, and educational relationships; transnational issues in a global society; and citizenship education. Part 2 first scrutinizes the concept of comparative education and then explores the essential elements of education in the U.S.--a sturdy departure point for analyses and comparisons of the national contexts and education in eight representative countries: the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Mexico, Japan, China, India, and Nigeria. UNESCO states that education for all is one of the biggest moral challenges of our times. One step toward propagating the universal right to education is making a conscious effort to understand the educational systems of other nations. New to this edition are chapters on France and India, with their enduring cultures and world presence. Each chapter in the book concludes with discussion questions, research topics, and suggestions for further reading.

American Education in a Global Society: International and Comparative Perspectives

Waveland PRess

Gutek's classic volume on the history of American education has been thoroughly revised and updated to provide a twenty-first-century perspective on the development of American educational institutions. Like earlier editions, the well-researched Third Edition employs a topical approach to examine the evolution of key institutions like the common school and the high school, as well as significant movements like progressive education, racial desegregation, and multiculturalism. Primary source readings enhance and reinforce chapter content and feature new writings from Benjamin Rush, Horace Mann, Maria Montessori, W. E. B. Du Bois, John Dewey, and Jane Addams. Two new chapters add depth to this comprehensive, richly illustrated work. "Immigration, Multiculturalism, and Education" examines the response of public schools to the education of immigrant children in the context of America's industrialization and urbanization. This compelling addition also looks at the changing demographics of immigration and discusses the experiences and contributions of Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. "Progressive Education and John Dewey" explores the origins of progressive education, the philosophies of John Dewey and other leading progressive educators, and this movement's ongoing influence in American classrooms. The Third Edition's topical organization lends itself to multiple uses in the classroom. Each chapter provides the historical foundation for the study of a contemporary topic in education, including the organization and structure of schools, the philosophy of education, early childhood education, curriculum and instruction, multicultural and bilingual education, and educational policy.
