Michael Gurian is an American author and social philosopher. He works as a marriage and family counselor and corporate consultant. He has published twenty-eight books, several of which were ''New York Times'' bestsellers. He is considered, along with Leonard Sax, as one of the major proponents of the post-modern "single-sex academic classes" movement.〔Single-sex education was ''common in the United States until the 19th century, when it fell into deep disfavor''. 〕 Gurian taught at Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University, and Ankara University. His work tends to focus on gender differences and how they contribute to learning. His research has been referred to as essential to parents, advocates, administrators, and education practitioners. He is also the founder of the Gurian Institute, which trains professionals who deal with the developmental aspects of childhood. The Gurian Institute has trained more than 60,000 teachers from over 2,000 different schools. Some of these schools become "GI Model Schools" and aim to leverage the role gender plays in learning styles. ==Selected works== * (1996) ''The Wonder of Boys: What Parents, Mentors and Educators Can Do to Shape Boys into Exceptional Men'' Putnam, New York, ISBN 0-87477-831-X * (1999) ''A Fine Young Man: What Parents, Mentors and Educators Can Do to Shape Adolescent Boys into Exceptional Men'' Putnam, New York, ISBN 0-87477-969-3 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Gurian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
