Education for Affective Development: A Guidebook on Programmes and Practices.
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Bangkok (Thailand). Principal Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.
Intended for curriculum designers, educational planners, teachers, and others who have responsibility in creating school programs, this book focuses on affective education, a domain of education in which feelings and attitudes come into play. The book provides guidelines for developing a practical, affective program that will gain the cooperation, support, and enthusiasm of teachers. Chapter 1 presents problems and difficulties of society that affective education can remedy, and presents a justification for affective development education. Chapter 2 defines affective development education in a down-to-earth manner that makes academic sense. Chapter 3 deals briefly with the current status of affective development education and describes its current state in the schools. Chapter 4 looks at the future of affective development education. Chapter 5 deals with curriculum design for affective development education in the schools. Chapters 6 and 7 present instructional methodology and discuss evaluation and assessment procedures in affective development education. Chapter 8 deals with the implications of affective development education for teacher education. Chapter 9 presents problems of implementation, and chapter 10 presents examples of a device found useful by instructors in a number of countries--an affective development education handbook for teachers. Two appendices are included that describe the current situation in affective education by country and offer examples of affective education lessons. (TJQ)
