Education and the Quest for a Middle Way

""Education And The Quest For A Middle Way"" by Paul Henry Sheats is a book that explores the challenges and opportunities of education in contemporary society. The author argues that education should aim to strike a balance between traditional values and modern technologies, between individualism and community, and between personal growth and social responsibility.The book begins by examining the history of education and its role in shaping society. Sheats argues that education has always been a means of transmitting cultural values and preparing individuals for their roles in society. However, he also notes that education has been subject to many changes over the years, as new technologies, social movements, and political ideologies have emerged.The author then turns to the challenges facing education today. He discusses the impact of globalization, the rise of digital technologies, and the changing nature of work and employment. Sheats argues that these changes have created a need for a new kind of education that is more flexible, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of individuals and society as a whole.In the second half of the book, Sheats outlines his vision for a ""middle way"" in education. He argues that education should aim to balance the needs of the individual with the needs of the community, and that it should promote both personal growth and social responsibility. He also discusses the role of technology in education, arguing that it can be a powerful tool for learning and communication, but that it should be used in a way that supports human values and relationships.Overall, ""Education And The Quest For A Middle Way"" is a thought-provoking book that offers a fresh perspective on the challenges facing education in the 21st century. It will be of interest to educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of education and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
