Herner Saeverot: Indirect Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

**What is indirect education? Why should education be indirect? And what does that mean for pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment?**This book shows why indirectness is crucial for education worthy of the name. It provides practical guidance for any teacher who understands that teaching is not about managing and controlling students, but about encouraging and equipping them for living their own life well.

Indirect Education dismantles the idea that all teaching should be direct and explicit by showing why education cannot be direct and why it shouldn't be direct. It provides a powerful case for the importance of indirectness in education and discusses in detail what this means for pedagogy, curriculum and assessment. Using short texts, reflections, biographies, vignettes and practical suggestions, it paints a rich picture of the dynamics of indirect education, thus providing teachers with practical suggestions for how to prepare and enact education in indirect ways. The book shows how indirect education is already occurring in classrooms, and how it can be further harnessed to the benefit of students and teachers alike. This book enables teachers to open up new ways for their students to engage with their own freedom in wise and thoughtful ways.
