ISBN: 9798197266637 - the pointless classroom: john dewey, the loss of purpose, and the future of learning (6 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What is school actually for Once upon a time, the question had an answer, or at least a set of plausible candidates. Today it sits in the corner of the staffroom like an unclaimed coat, conspicuous, faintly embarrassing, no longer anyone's responsibility.The Pointless Classroom is a philosophical reckoning with the institution that shapes, and increasingly fails, every modern life. Drawing on the radical optimism of John Dewey, the American thinker who once dreamed of school as a workshop for free minds, this book traces how a vision built on trust, inquiry, and democratic participation curdled into testing, branding, theater, and bureaucratic exhaustion. Along the way it examines the betrayals of Dewey's most cherished ideas, the slow disappearance of purpose from the work of teaching, and the strange fate of children raised in a culture that prefers efficiency to meaning.The book ends with a provocation. If the human teacher has grown too tired to carry Dewey's mission, perhaps an unsleeping, unbiased intelligence - the kind only recently arrived on our desktops - might finally realize what the classroom never could. But only if the student still wishes to be taught.Witty, mournful, and uncompromisingly honest, The Pointless Classroom is for readers who suspect that something has gone deeply wrong with the way we learn, and who are willing to look the problem in the face.Keywordsphilosophy of education, John Dewey, future of schooling, artificial intelligence and learning, purpose in education, critical pedagogy, modern culture.…
