Add to basketPaperback. At a time when education is becoming ever more standardized and technocratic, there is renewed interest in the interpersonal, even intimate phenomenon of pedagogical tact. Some speak of a renaissance. Like tact in general, pedagogical tact is a ready and delicate sense of what is fitting and proper in dealing with others. In pedagogy, these "others" are typically children, youth, or students, and tact is exercised as a kind of disposition that is oriented to the learners maturation and eventual autonomy. It takes the form of a subtle but active discernment that arises when theories and prescriptions simply do not help. This edited collection, the first to appear on pedagogical tact in English, includes contributions from several authors who are a part of the renaissance in this area. It also features a substantial introduction to the tradition of pedagogy from which tact emerges, and one that also traces the international development of understandings of pedagogical tact.This rich collection of recent texts on pedagogical tact provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the intricate relationship between theory and practice. It explores various characteristics, contexts, and applications of pedagogical tact, featuring contributions from distinguished scholars from the USA, Sweden, France, Germany, and Switzerland. As the first English-language volume dedicated solely to this topic since Max van Manens The Tact of Teaching (1991) and Pedagogical Tact (2015), it is an essential resource. Highly recommended. Evi Agostini, Director of Studies Education Directorate of Doctoral Studies, University of Vienna This is the first edited collection to appear in English on pedagogical tact, a 200-year-old notion central to both educational theory and practice. In keeping with renaissance that tact has currently been undergoing, this volume includes contributions from leading scholars of pedagogy in Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, France, and the US. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
