  • WORLD-CENTRED EDUCATION
    GERT BIESTA
    This book makes an intervention in a long-standing discussion by arguing that education should be world-centred rather than child-centred or curriculum-centred. This is not just because education should provide students with the knowledge and skills to act effectively in the world, but is first and foremost because the world is the place where our existence as human beings take...

  • PHENOMENOLOGY AND EDUCATIONAL THEORY IN CONVERSATION
    GERT J. J. BIESTA / PATRICK HOWARD / ANDREW FORAN

  • BEAUTIFUL RISK OF EDUCATION
    GERT J. J. BIESTA
    This is a book about what many teachers know but are increasingly being prevented from talking about: that real education always involves a risk. The risk is there because, as W. B.

This book argues that the focus on the measurement of educational outcomes has actually displaced questions about educational purpose. Biesta explores why the question as to what ...

Thus education is conceived as the production of particular subjectivities and identities such as the rational person, the autonomous individual, or the democratic citizen. Beyond Learning asks what might happen to the ways in which we educate if we treat the question as to what it means to be huma...
