It challenges hierarchical and custodial conceptions of education that have been inherited as the natural order of things. It discloses a more original and imaginative understanding of educational practice, illustrating this understanding with frequent practical examples.Among the merits highlighted by this approach are: a recognition that education is first and foremost an invitation to join a renewed experience of quest and disclosure; a realisation that taking up and pursuing such an invitation is a basic right, as distinct from a privilege to be bestowed or withheld; an awareness of the decisive importance of specific kinds relationships in practices of teaching and learning; an emphasis on the human qualities as well as the intellectual achievements nourished by dedicated communities of learning; an acknowledgement of partiality - of incompleteness and bias - in even the best of humankinds learning efforts; the emergence of a distinctive ethical orientation for education as a practice in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936401260832,"sku":"NEW0415549671","price":298.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-new-significance-of-learning-imaginations-heartwork-0415549671","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
