Features: This book is one of the three major works by Professor Sato of the University of Tokyo, Japan. The first two works, themed around "Curriculum" and "Teacher," have been compiled and translated into English as Curriculum and Teacher. This book focuses on "Learning" as a dialogical practice, not only guiding us from a monologue world to a dialogue world but also, through this dialogical and cooperative practice, providing the possibility of building a "Learning Community." School reform based on the concept of a "Learning Community" as a "quiet revolution" will become a major trend in 21st-century educational reform. The "Learning" concept reconstructed by the author, who integrates Eastern and Western educational philosophies, and its transcendence of a series of traditional educational concepts is nothing short of a feast for the soul, offering readers immense inspiration and motivation.
