Philosophy and Education as Action by Yusef Waghid
Nuraan Davids and Yusef Waghid make the argument that philosophy and education are intertwined as action concepts with the potential to affect teacher education practices. This book addresses pertinent philosophical concepts in education and how these concepts impact teaching, learning, and management as classroom practices.
Written with exemplary clarity, flair and imagination, Yusef Waghid and Nuraan Davids’ new book enriches teacher education and enlarges educational thought by exploring highly significant philosophical insights without a hint of reductionAs ‘rhythmic illuminations of how action can be engendered within philosophy of education’, the chapters of this book, which should be read by everyone in contemporary philosophy of education, bring valuable and passionate conviction to crucial topics of present-date educational-theoretical debates. -- Marianna Papastephanou, University of Cyprus
Waghid and Davids, in their unravelling of the idea of philosophy of education as action, provide a salient and critical account of transformative modes of teacher activity which encourage critical thinking, and reflective and imaginative action in the classroom. This volume adds significantly to the existing corpus of literature on the theory and practice of teacher education. -- Philip Higgs, University of South Africa
