Produktbeschreibung

'I recommend John Darling's book to everyone interested in education today' - Times Educational Supplement, Scotland 'It represents an important contribution to the study of curriculum at a time when that study is being seriously eroded, and is especially to be welcomed because that contribution seeks to keep alive the progressive alternative' - Early Years 'The book has much to offer. It is written with clarity and style, and in a language that is immediately accessible' - Education Today and Tomorrow 'Child-Centred Education is undoubtedly a well-researched and equally well-written book in addition to affording a rich source of references' - British Journal of Educational StudiesThis book traces the development of child-centred education and examines objections levelled at it by philosophers and politicians.The author challenges the widespread view that philosophers have shown child-centred educational theory to be incoherent.
