Produktbeschreibung
This book derives from my Master of Philosophy thesis, researched and written in the University of Madras in India during the years 1988-90.The thrust of the work is a quick introduction in a comparative perspective to two parallel pioneers in educational thought and practice, John Dewey (1859-1952) and Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), who were contemporaries but evolved their models of management of education independently of each other. Both of them conceived, built and successfully managed their educational laboratory institutions that were pioneering experiments in their respective historical contexts. The treatment is based on a comprehensive but succinct review of various approaches to management. A noteworthy feature that cannot be missed is the chapter on 'Metaphors of Management' which gives an insight into the mindsets behind various styles of management. A 'must read' for scholars in innovations in education, educational theory and practice, management of education and, of course, Dewey and Gandhi.
