Great resource.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fifty Major Thinkers on Education: From Confucius to Dewey (Fifty Key Thinkers) (Routledge Key Guides) (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for those interested in education theory. The author provides the reader with a short overview of the thinking of each of the individuals covered. I particularly appreciate the international diversity represented in this book. I found the book provided my students with a more global perspective on education theory and motivated them to do more independent research on the topic. I recommend this book as a resource and a good introduction to education theory.

This review is from: Fifty Major Thinkers on Education: From Confucius to Dewey (Fifty Key Thinkers) (Routledge Key Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was doing research into Confucius and his influences on Japanese education. A title that states "From Confucius to Dewey" would lead one to believe that Confucius would receive a certain degree of attention.There was too much biographical information on each of the "thinkers" covered. In some cases, the "thinker's" contributions to education were barely discussed. This was especially true in the case of Confucius, who only receives a couple of pages of attention, very little of which has to do with his massive contributions to educational theory. This was dissappointing, considering the headliner status he received in the title of the book. Western "thinkers" are covered thoroughly enough for me to give a 3-star rating to this book.
