Theorizing Teaching and Learning in Asia and Europe

European Didactics and Chinese Curriculum is a very welcome addition to the literature of transnational curriculum inquiry. The dialogue created by the diverse contributions from Asian and European scholars provides a generative provocation to the dominance of curriculum and teaching studies to date by Western anglophone discourses. Professor Noel Gough, La Trobe University, Australia, Founding Editor, Transnational Curriculum Inquiry Both Didaktic and Confucianism have deep roots in their respective cultures, and yet they share in a common and universal question of curriculum -- what knowledge and manner of education is of most worth for the development of the person and the good society? The contrasting responses of Didaktic and Confucianism described in this book will reveal much about the historical and contemporary intersections of curriculum and culture. Terrance R.
