Review of Literature

edit

Besides the many volumes of the writings of Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892), ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (1844-1921), Shoghi Effendi (1896-1957), and the Universal House of Justice (1963-), several other publications by Bahá’ís and Bahá’í institutions may be consulted as sources for Baha'i education. Several documents are presently available presenting Bahá’í ideas on education to various agencies and audiences, i.e., Bahá’í Education (Research Department of the Universal House of Justice, August 1976), Position Statement on Education (Bahá’í International Community Task Force on Education, January 1989), Education for a New Namibia (NSA of Namibia, August 1990), Educational Policy: A Bahá’í Perspective (NSA of India, November 1985), and “Charter for Bahá’í Schools” (American Bahá’í, April 1990).

Many other scholars and educators have written on Bahá’í education, including Hand of the Cause of God Ali-Akbar Futuran Baha'i Education for Children: Books 1-7 (BPT of India, n.d.) and Mothers, Fathers, and Children: Practical Advice to Parents (BPT of India, n.d.) and the developers of the ANISA Model (Jordan and Streets, 1972; Streets and Jordan, 1973; Kalinowski and Jordan, 1973). Other eminent researchers and educators include G. Marks, A. Jones, H. Danesh, I. Ayam, D. Troxel, D. Allen, M. Smith, H. Hanson, J. Hatcher, I. Taafaki, R. Johnson, W. Diehl, N. Rutstein, C. Miller, G. Eyford, W. Hatcher, E. Muttart (Canada), S. Waite, H. Rost, P. Lample, F. Arbab, H. Nikjoo, S. Vickers, P. Christensen, E. Anello, J. Savi, E. Tinto, M. Higgins and L. Nuguchi.
