Back to the sandbox : art and radical pedagogy

Andel, Jaroslav, (editor,, curator.). Vm̌ola, Bedrich, (designer.). Western Gallery (Western Washington University) (Added Author). University of Minnesota. Press. (Added Author).

Summary: "Back to the Sandbox addresses critical issues of the education system from an intriguing new perspective: essays by leading thinkers juxtaposed with art projects, intended for kindergarten through adult. The core issues include democracy in education, creativity, transdisciplinarity, neuroplasticity, thinking versus memorizing, science versus art and humanities. Both artists and scholars explore specific topics while guided by one framing question central to educators' and students' concerns today: What education do we need? The volume includes several lead essays and eighteen shorter texts from international scholars." --
