Читать книгу Cultivating Curiosity - Doreen Gehry Nelson - Страница 7

Doreen Nelson has done us all a service by deepening our ideas about pedagogy. Her method of Design-Based Learning is not so much a formula for teaching, as it is an all-encompassing approach to how we as teachers can guide our students to think creatively and make sense of what we are trying to teach them.

Students can't reuse information they don't understand. It is indeed odd how little official attention has been paid to the actual process and significance of teaching creative thinking. This book will be an exception.

I do not wish to summarize what Doreen Nelson is telling us. She presents her point of view with clarity and grace. But it is a privilege to introduce the evolution of her ideas. Teachers will benefit from her account. Her book will be a wonderful example of consciousness-raising in our field.
