The Illusion of School

Beschreibung

We send our children to school to learn, but how well do they learn? What processes interfere with the ability of the child to learn better? What problems do teachers have today? Why do so many students fail in school after 12 years of education? What is going wrong and what could we do to improve school life for the student, the teacher and the parent who worries about their child? The author failed school completely as a child and has since spent 40 years understanding what school really is, how it really works and why we must change its basic design, if we are to provide the child of today with the different skills they will need to survive in their world dominated by artificial intelligence with all the changes this will bring to work and society. What the experts say : "This is an important book that should be read by every parent and educator in the world. It represents a real breakthrough in our understanding of how children are schooled in their preparation for work and life. The book explains exactly what is wrong with school and what we could do to better prepare the child of today for the different demands that will be placed upon them in their working and social life as they move ever more into a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence." Prof / Dean Emeritus David Martin Ph.D Gallaudet University Washington, D.C. USA "Roy's books should be in the library of each school in every corner of the world. They should also be part of the syllabus in the institutions who are offer child psychology, and teacher training diplomas and degree programs, or at least they should be the part of a refresher course." M.Imran Khan. CEO AIMMS Universities Middle East "Roy, your observations on the way 'education' is delivered, and all the things that are wrong with the current model of public education, are an eye-opener. It's plain to me that many of your proposals are not only well-reasoned, but absolutely necessary if we are to achieve any semblance of an egalitarian society in which every child can develop to his or her full potential." Ms Sara Lippi. Educator. USA. Roy's series of books clearly and methodically map out exactly how students learn. He isn't afraid to address head-on the many misconceptions that are plaguing our society and thus having a negative impact on our students' learning. Parents and educators who read these books will not only have a better understanding, but will also be inspired to change in their attitudes and preconceived notions on how students can excel in their learning. If you've ever wanted to unravel how student's learn, then these books are the answer you have been looking for! They should be mandatory reading for every parent and educator. Erin Calhoun. National Institute of Learning Development. USA

Autor

Roy Andersen has devoted the past 40 years to the better development of children in education and has assisted in the design and planning of social and educational programs with the Ministers and Departments of Education in Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, and Nepal. His books "The Illusion of School" and "Intelligence: The Great Lie" present a new way of understanding how school really works and how children really learn. "Intelligence" is the first research material published as a very readable book that disproves the concept of inherited intelligence, and explains why children normally born do have equal potential to learn. This has ground breaking implications to education in how children should be taught and assessed. Roy has written extensively on how schools can improve the learning of their students and the very great importance of understanding the need to prepare our children for the different demands that AI will impose upon them as citizens of the new world that is developing. His 14 books are regard by professors around the world to be some of the best written about School, Society and Learning. Roy is constantly in demand as a guest lecturer in universities and international conferences on education.
