Description:In an age of mass art and social media, the ability to identify reliable sources of information and disregard others has become a vital skill. Yet, the educational environment has not kept pace with rapid advancements in technology, despite the fact that training students to engage critically and compassionately with others via online media is of the utmost importance. Media and Moral Education: A philosophy of critical engagement addresses this oversight by demonstrating that the study of philosophy can be used to enhance critical thinking skills that are sorely needed in today's technological age.Using the pragmatism of John Dewey as a theoretical framework and drawing upon multimedia examples from Australia, the USA and the UK, D'Olimpio claims that philosophical thinking skills support the practice of what she calls critical perspectivism. Critical perspectivism gives citizens the ability to engage with multiple perspectives in a critical and compassionate manner. It is a pragmatic pedagogy that may be taught via Philosophy for Children methodology, such as the Community of Inquiry, which can be undertaken with all age levels in a classroom or public setting. This is, as D'Olimpio demonstrates, useful for adults, as well as students and children, and will help educators to shape democratic and discerning citizens.This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the areas of the philosophy of education, philosophy, education, critical theory and communication, film and media studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
