Murat A. Yulek (EDT), J.G. Wissema (EDT) Towards Third Generation Learning and Teaching

Annotation

Learning, and hence education, are in turmoil. Traditional learning techniques are challenged by powerful new approaches and insights while students and employers alike put new demands on education. The new insights come from quite different areas of science.This book aims to provide a future-oriented picture of the various developments culminating in an educated speculation on learning and education in the near future. It has been written for leaders in education, scholars as well as practitioners and policymakers.Learning will be a central issue in the decades to come. In the words of the recently deceased cultural anthropologist Catherine Bateson: "We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn."
