Sommario/riassunto |
|
Through the language of global learning, education is being reformed by corporations, political activists, and policy makers. Academic subject-based knowledge has been cast as elitist and outdated for a rapidly-changing world. The curriculum has been colonized in the name of teaching skills and attitudes for the global market and global citizenship. Can young people effectively contribute to society without an education in academic knowledge? Alex Standish argues that we can only educate children about the world if we are clear about the boundaries that provide education with its moral worth. |

citizenship. Can young people effectively contribute to society without an education in academic knowledge? Alex Standish argues that we can only educate children about the world if we are clear about the boundaries that provide education with its moral worth. These include the boundaries between: education and political activity, public and private realms, education and training, theoretical and everyday knowledge, communities, and subject disciplines. The False Promise of Global Learning demonstrates that the nature and purpose of education has become confused with social, economic, political, and therapeutic aims, and that control over the curriculum has been taken away from teachers and communities. This is a hard-hitting work that will resonate with all who have a stake in how - and why - we educate our children. |

apparemment isolée et ancestrale, enracinée au sud des hauts plateaux andins mais, en réalité, mobile et ouverte sur le monde. Cet ouvrage explore les transformations sociales et territoriales induites par le passage d'une agriculture de subsistance, essentiellement locale, à une production commerciale mondialisée. Mondialisée… mais toujours aux mains des petits producteurs et de leurs organisations. C’est au prisme de la géographie sociale que les permanences et les évolutions sont observées, en s’appuyant sur une connaissance fine des communautés locales. Dépassant les constats hâtifs et parfois alarmistes, cet ouvrage met en lumière les ressources et les capacités adaptives d'une société rurale en mutation. Il nous plonge dans l’intimité des trajectoires de vie de ces producteurs de quinoa, ancrés dans leur communauté et, en même temps, mobiles et mondialisés. Il met en lumière le génie de cette société rurale qui, par la migration, combine les lieux, les activités et les identités, articule villes et campagnes, gère l’ici et l’ailleurs. Cultiver tout en partant, partir tout en cultivant, tel est le tour de force opéré par les producteurs de quinoa. La durabilité agricole, socio-économique et environnementale de ces territoires est au cœur du propos : ne doit-elle pas, en effet, s’envisager dans le mouvement ? |
