This book in the series on educational philosophy serves primarily as an introductory manual to the field. Initiating the process with a look at the origins, evolution and development of educational philosophy, it leads on to a comprehensive, incisive and detailed discussion of contemporary educational philosophies.
Taking into account the ever changing social, political, economic and cultural milieus, it delineates and explores the educational needs of today, and how the various schools of thought engage themselves with these, or incorporate the needs within their ideological framework. It also delves into an incisive and analytical study of what entails the programmes and educational institutes initiated by these philosophies. |
