Book Description
Makiguchi and Gandhi explores ideas about Japanese educator Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) as examples of inspiration for large mass movements in the 20th century. Based on research done in Japan, India, Hawai'i, and the United Kingdom, this book breaks new ground by examining and theorizing the fate of dissident thinkers and raises the question often asked by both Gandihan and Soka scholars alike- were they truly radical thinkers?

Value-Creating Global Citizenship Education
Author: Namrata Sharma
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319782444
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
This book fills an existing gap within the practice of global citizenship education by offering Asian perspectives. In this book, Soka or value-creating education developed by the Japanese educators, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944) and Daisaku Ikeda (b. 1928) is compared to the ideas of the Indian political leader Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948). This study of their respective thoughts and movements has a significant bearing on the three domains of learning within the global citizenship education conceptual dimensions of UNESCO – the cognitive, socio-emotional, and behavioral. This book deftly combines theoretical discussions with themes and suggestions for practice and future research.

The Educational Relevance of Two Thinkers for 21st Century Society
Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944)
Author: Jason Goulah
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134915063
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This edited volume focuses on the life and work of Makiguchi Tsunesaburo (1871-1944), a Japanese elementary schoolteacher, principal, educational philosopher, author, activist, and Buddhist war resister who has emerged as an important figure in international education. Makiguchi is the progenitor of value-creating (soka) pedagogy that informs practice in the Soka schools network, which includes two universities (in Japan and the U.S.), a women's college (Japan), two secondary schools (Japan), three elementary schools (Brazil and Japan), and six Kindergartens (Brazil, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore), as well as one of Japan's largest correspondence education programs. In addition, thousands of educators worldwide incorporate Makiguchi's ideas in their own curriculum and instruction, and Brazil has instituted the Makiguchi in Action Project, which has provided literacy training and teacher development for nearly a million people. This edited volume is the first in the Anglophone literature to theoretically and empirically examine the nature and global application of Makiguchi's influential educational ideas. The book was originally published as a special issue of American Educational Studies.

Mapping the Broad Field of Multicultural and Intercultural Education Worldwide
Author: Gunther Dietz
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 144384408X
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 590
Book Description
The issues which are discussed in the 29 chapters of this volume address core matters with respect to modern diverse societies. The most important relate to the following: the societal needs of migrant populations and the educational needs of their children; the exclusivist policies which usually impact upon migrant groups; the need to enrich school texts and curricula with new intercultural and citizenship dimensions; the importance of integrating the notion of Paideia within the school ethos and educational programmes. This volume has a dual aim. The first aim is to envisage the field of Multicultural and Intercultural Education from different disciplines at the international level, describing the new educational and social conditions that have been created by recent migration and identifying new trends in the field. The second aim is to highlight the importance of Multicultural and Intercultural Education in the development of a new citizen, who moves around the world, interacting with different people, and has a dynamic and flexible identity with polymorphic personal, social and cultural characteristics – a new intercultural persona. To sum up, this volume highlights that authors coming from different continents share some common ideas and tend to believe in the notion of Intercultural/Multicultural Education as a useful new dimension within the dynamics of many disciplines, as a new inter-disciplinary approach that is embedded within them and which characterizes modern societies.

Looking for Gandhi in our Times
Author: Varsha Das
Publisher: Publications Division Ministry of Information & Broadcasting
ISBN: 9354093264
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
The book is a fascinating personal account of Gandhiji and his ideas as he translated them into his own life and encouraged others to translate their beliefs into their lives. Some of the key notions propagated by Gandhiji have been outlined in simple and practical terms such as the idea of education for personal spiritual and skills development. Also, this book emphasizes the important role that Kasturba played in the liberation movement in India and in South Africa. She is not depicted as the “woman behind a great man” but rather as an activist and leader in her own right. Her strong personality comes through the stories in this book.
