Overview

This title includes a Book & a CD-ROM. The significance of this book lies in its move away from traditional thinking about teacher education towards an authentic, holistic paradigm. It is in recognising the inseparability of mind, matter, spirit and life that education is identified as bringing forth of the world through the process of living itself (Maturana and Valera in The tree of knowledge). The authors propose that 'The secret of true education is not determined by the knowledge that learners acquire, it is determined primarily by how they acquire it. This requires a unique professionalism: That of facilitating learning - which is grounded in cultivating excellence in learning quality within on inescapable social, moral and ethical consciousness' (Slabbert, De Kock & Hattingh 2008).
