"Western-style education is responsible for drawing children-from Mongolia to Mozambique, from Inuit to Aboriginal communities-into an urban consumer culture. Schooling effectively wipes out the self-esteem, collective memory, and ecological knowledge of cultures worldwide. C. A. Bowers' writings are an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the root causes of our eco-social crises." Helena Norberg-Hodge, Author of Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh
"As exemplified by The False Promises of Constructivist Theories of Learning, C. A. Bowers is on the cutting edge of educational thought. Most educational thinkers continue to be trapped in the paradigm inherited from Western Enlightenment traditions, however, Bowers breaks from this paradigm and recharts the direction of global education." Joel Spring, Author of How Educational Ideologies Are Shaping Global Society

Bowers examines why constructivist-based educational reforms fail to take into account these current critical issues: the deepening ecological crisis, globalization, and undermining of the world's diverse cultural commons. Special attention is given to the ethnocentrism and Social Darwinism that created the foundations for the ideas of Dewey, Piaget, and Freire. Also considered is how the neo-liberal promoters of economic globalization share their taken-for-granted assumptions. Additionally, Bowers explains how teachers in different cultures can contribute to the revitalization of their cultural and environmental commons without engaging in the cultural imperialism that characterizes constructivist approaches to educational reform. 156 pp. Englisch.
