Description

Explore a new perspective on teaching and liberal education with this thought-provoking work from Stylus Publishing. Jane Fried challenges long-standing assumptions about how we learn and what defines true education in our modern, interconnected world. This book examines the cultural factors that shape curriculum and the ways in which the Western tradition has often ignored the role of the individual in the learning process. Since the time of Descartes, the concept of the self has been sidelined in academic settings. However, current research suggests that the relevance of knowledge to a student's own identity can actually improve learning outcomes. By deconstructing the Grand Western Narrative of teaching, this text invites educators to rethink their methods. It provides a framework for understanding how who a student is can profoundly affect how they process information. This is an essential read for those looking to move beyond traditional boundaries and create more meaningful educational experiences.
