Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book brings the idea of a public-defined in part as the quality of communication among strangers-back into focus. The benefits of doing this are many, but perhaps the most important are to adjust our understanding of what is good teaching and to widen our understanding of what counts as central to the educational process. |
