In today's high schools, education is often reduced to a means of achieving financial security, leading to an overemphasis on quantifiable measures of performance. This approach encourages academically talented students to focus on test scores and rankings rather than intellectual enrichment, and discourages students with non-academic talents from pursuing them. A Richer, Brighter Vision for American High Schools advocates instead a unifying educational aim of producing better adults, which would encompass all aspects of students' lives: intellectual, physical, moral, spiritual, social, vocational, aesthetic, and civic. Nel Noddings offers suggestions to improve high schools by increasing collegiality among students and faculty, enriching curricula with interdisciplinary themes, renewing vocational education programs, addressing parenting and homemaking, and professionalizing the teaching force. This thought-provoking book will act as an important guide for teachers, teacher educators, administrators, and policy makers.

Cet ouvrage constitue la première histoire d'ensemble de l'enseignement secondaire au XIXe siècle. Il s’agit d’un magnifique outil de travail qui s’est attaché à retrouver la réalité des établissements en exploitant les rapports envoyés au ministère et les statistiques exceptionnellement riches du XIXe siècle. Ils permettent d’apprécier les effectifs d’élèves dans leur diversité de classe et de statut comme le fonctionnement pédagogique des « maisons ». L’histoire retracée s’articule autour de deux évolutions solidaires, l’une institutionnelle, l’autre pédagogique. Elle éclaire d’un jour nouveau bien des aspects actuels de notre enseignement. En analysant le passé, l’ouvrage explique le présent. C’est pourquoi il ne s’intéresse pas seulement aux historiens mais aussi aux actuels responsables et réformateurs de notre système éducatif.

"The focus of this book is on the secondary school history curriculum in Chile from colonial times to the present. By way of background, attention is paid to the development of the history curriculum in the three countries which have most influenced educational developments in Chile, namely, England, the United States of America and Spain. The academic literature on the history curriculum throughout the English-speaking and Latin-speaking world, especially on the purposes attached to history as a school subject and the variety of pedagogical approaches prescribed is also considered. The results of a project that addressed the following interrelated research questions are then outlined: • What is the historical background to the current secondary school history curriculum in Chile? • What are the current developments of the secondary school history curriculum in Chile? • What are the issues of concern for secondary school history teachers in Chile? At various times the teaching of the subject ranged from being in the ‘great tradition’ approach, emphasizing teacher-centred activities and repetition of content knowledge, to being in the ‘new history’ tradition, emphasizing the promotion of active learning, student-centred activities and the encouragement of the historical method of enquiry. The analysis also details current issues of concern for teachers regarding the implementation of the current curriculum framework for secondary school history. The book concludes with a consideration of implications for practice in areas pertaining to curriculum development, teaching and learning, management and administration, teacher preparation, and professional development practices in Chile.
