Description:This volume uses an anthropological approach to contemplate ways of reimagining general education for the 21st century and how we might truly transform the educational endeavor to be holistic, comprehensive, and aligned with the needs of people and the planet in the decades to come. The current higher education policy and practice landscape is one simultaneously marked by uncertainty and hope, and nowhere are these tensions more present than in discussions and actions around general education. The book includes analyses of general education concepts such as 'diversity, ' case studies of general education from the US and broader curricula from around the world, opportunities for faculty development, unique general education student populations, assessment strategies, and philosophical/pedagogical challenges. It makes the case that far from receding from a central role in higher education, there is a need to strengthen general education curricula as key to the educational needs of students, for the skills and competencies they require in the workplace and for civic engagement.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
