What is Non-Western Educational Traditions : Local Approaches to Thought and Practice about?

"Informative and mind-opening, this text uniquely provides a comprehensive overview of a range of non-western approaches to educational thought and practice.

Designed to be used in pre-service and in-service teacher education courses where substantial critical discussion and debate are encouraged, the text is enhanced by Questions for Discussion and Reflection in each chapter.

Chapter 10 on traditional educational thought and practice in Oceania, with special focus on the Maori in New Zealand, the Hawai'ians, and the Australian Aboriginal peoples; Updated chapter on Africa i
