After all, the former is an ancient Chinese tradition, and the latter is a modern phenomenon. But this book shows otherwise, by explaining how millennia-old Confucian ideas and practices can inform, inspire and improve school administration, teaching and learning today. Drawing upon major Confucian texts such as the \u003ci\u003eAnalects \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMencius \u003c\/i\u003e, as well as influential thinkers such as Confucius, Zhu Xi and Empress Xu, the various chapters address current educational issues and challenges such as the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What roles do schools play in fighting the coronavirus pandemic?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• How can humanity resolve the climate emergency?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What (more) should school leaders do to promote education for girls?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Is there more to lifelong learning than just skills upgrading?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What is missing in the existing frameworks on 21st century competencies?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• What new initiatives are needed to champion sustainable development?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfucian Philosophy for Contemporary Education answers the above questions and more by presenting a Confucian model of education. The author proposes a Confucian school where \u003ci\u003eDao \u003c\/i\u003e– a shared vision of human excellence – is realised through a mindful, learning-centred, action-oriented and ultimately humanising form of education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a useful resource for academic researchers, educators, students and general readers on Confucian philosophy and its continual relevance for present-day education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517576130934,"sku":"9780367519148","price":49.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_25649294.jpg?v=1761290139","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367519148-confucian-philosophy-for-contemporary-education-routledge-international-studies-in-the-philosophy-of-education","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
