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\u003cp\u003e• What roles do schools play in fighting the coronavirus pandemic?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• How can humanity resolve the climate emergency?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• What (more) should school leaders do to promote education for girls?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Is there more to lifelong learning than just skills upgrading?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• What is missing in the existing frameworks on 21st century competencies?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• What new initiatives are needed to champion sustainable development?\u003c\/p\u003e\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\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","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542329057518,"sku":"9780367519148","price":65.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/confucian-philosophy-for-contemporary-education","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
