Beskrivning

The Heart and Mind in Teaching: Pedagogical Styles Through the Ages provides an important historical context for an issue confronting every American teacher, administrator, student, parent, and citizen. As the art of teaching is rapidly replaced by formulas, clinical studies, and one-size-fits-all scientific pedagogy, it is important to ask the question, “How did we get here?” Authors Alyssa Magee Lowery and William Hayes trace the history of teaching from Greek philosophy to twenty-first century educational issues in an effort to provide some perspective in the long art versus science debate, ultimately finding that the two components may be able to coexist peacefully.

Recensioner i media

Lowery and Hayes claim their aim is to identify various individuals and movements that influenced the evolution of teaching. They divide the book into 16 chapters. The first eight chapters move from the Sophists in Ancient Greece to the last half of the 20th century in 83 pages. The second section covers the present in five chapters that discuss the effects of the federal legislation No Child Left Behind and the impact of educational choice on teaching. The last section has chapters on the influence of technology and the impact of educational research as well as a chapter devoted to concluding thoughts. Pointing out that their book asks whether teaching is an art or a science, the authors describe how achievement tests constrain teaching. Nonetheless, they contend that good teachers can rise above those limits if educational resources are equal in schools. . . .Summing Up: Recommended. General readers and lower-division undergraduate students.
