Transforming Learning: Individual and Global Change (Institute of Education S.)

This book promotes a new and radical model of learning in school which the authors call personal and social learning. While traditional approaches to learning and teaching stress cognitive aspects of development and learning, their approach to learning synthesises the cognitive, affective and social dimensions. They reveal personal and social learning as being part of the whole school experience and the effective learning of all in the school community. The book espouses the nature of learning within this radical model and highlights key social values such as equality, respect and justice.
