Learning and Education
EN NW
ISBN: 9781519512390 bzw. 1519512392, in Englisch, neu.
Lieferung aus: Vereinigtes Königreich Großbritannien und Nordirland, in-stock.
The education sector is the most influential sector in our modern society - and it is broken. Learning and Education, written for a lay audience, is about how people (including children) learn, and is based on the latest scientific evidence. It is about how this evidence is largely ignored by the educational establishment, which is based almost entirely on the latest teaching fads. Fads that not only don't help learning, but will end up doing devastating, long-term damage to the very people they are supposed to be helping! Learning and Education also covers how Higher Education (HE) has lost its way, and how HE students are not getting what they think they are getting. This must change! Graduating with massive debts after having received (at best) a mediocre learning experience, it is time to fight for what we are paying for! In most other fields, what happens in HE would be called fraud! Education should be all about learning, but it isn't, it is all about teaching (except in HE, where it is all about research). It doesn't have to be that way. After years of trying to change the system from the inside, I have written this book out of frustration and disillusionment. Read it, and you will see why.

On 31st October 1999 Jesse Martin, in his yacht Lionheart, completed the last great adventure of the 20th century by becoming the youngest person to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around the world. He was eighteen years old. After 50,000 kms and 328 days at sea he returned home to Port Phillip Bay and a waiting crows of twenty thousand onlookers. Jesse Martin was destined for adventure. After learning to sail at the age of fourteen he travelled along Australia's tropical coast on a flimsy catamaran, and by sixteen he had kayaked through the remote islands off Papua New Guinea and crewed on a yacht sailing from Belize to Tahiti.
