As we witness the burgeoning of a global economy, it is unsurprising to learn that the manner in which we are taught is increasingly shaped by the demands of the marketplace. Edmond O'Sullivan examines modern education and proposes a visionary transformation of this century's pedagogy. Transforming Learning confronts the current market forces that are moving education in the direction of a narrow-sighted vision of 'training in competitiveness.' Rather than supporting the notion of competition, O'Sullivan argues that the process of learning should espouse a global understanding of Earth as a habitat of interdependent life forms.
