| Description: |
Has the education of young children become too "rationalized"? - Kieran Egan responded to this idea by taking a new approach to early childhood teaching from which he has formulated a theory of education which incorporates the idea of "cultural sense-making capacities" and oral tradition. |
| Synopsis: |
Beginning with descriptions of the ways in which children make sense of their experience and the world, such as fantasy, stories and games, Egan constructs his argument that constituting this foundational layer are sets of cultural sense-making capacities, reflected in oral cultures throughout the world. Egan sees education as the acquisition of these sets of sense-making capacities, available in our culture, and his goal is to conceptualize primary education in a way that over comes the dichotomy between progressivisim and traditionalism, attending both the needs of the individual child and the accumulation of knowledge. |
