| Summary: | "Human relations? Discovery learning? Community involvement? What would education be like if it were based on what we know about man, and the operation of society? In a major step toward bridging the gap between what we profess philosophically and what we do technically to advance the child's quest for knowledge, Herbert Thelen presents four learning experiences that he believes a child must have to become educated--personal inquiry, group investigation, reflective action, and skill development. He explores the ways in which these experiences can be made educative--can do more, as Thelen says, than housebreak the child or make him clever. Upon publication of the clothbound edition in 1960, Education and the Human Quest was selected by the American Library Association as one of the most significant books of the year"--Cover.
