Thorough explanations are provided concerning the value of journaling for self-knowledge, and exemplar texts by master journal writers are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is designed for use as a primary textbook in philosophy of education courses. Instructors will find it helpful as a means to organize engaging classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for genuine philosophic practices and inquiry. It contains a well-defined program of work that is modelled upon the latest research concerning \"authentic task design.\" Its rich experimental approach is replete with a broad array of learning tasks, assessment tools, and practices that are aligned with the competencies-based approach taken in most professional certification and BEd Programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223618539864,"sku":"9781433146916","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433146916.jpg?v=1782214214","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/teacher-education-and-the-pursuit-of-wisdom","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
