Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781612050270.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about what many teachers know but are increasingly being prevented from talking about: that real education always involves a risk. The risk is there because, as W. B. Yeats has put it, education is not about filling a bucket but about lighting a fire. It is there because students are not to be seen as objects to be moulded and disciplined, but as subjects of action and responsibility. The Beautiful Risk of Education is organised around a critical discussion of seven key educational concepts: creativity, communication, teaching, learning, emancipation, democracy, and virtuosity. By opposing the risk aversion that characterises many contemporary educational policies and practices, Gert J.J. Biesta makes a strong argument for giving risk a central place in our educational endeavours and brings risk taking to the forefront of a critical pedagogical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945978884149,"sku":"ByrdShop_1612050271","price":60.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781612050270_12603203-f8fa-49a9-b46e-32ce0054470c.jpg?v=1778674889","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/beautiful-risk-of-education-interventions-education-philosophy-and-culture-9781612050270","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
