AltaMira Press In Principle In Practice
Book SynopsisThe science museum field has made tremendous advances in understanding museum learning, but little has been done to consolidate and synethesize these findings to encourage widespread improvements in practice. By clearly presenting the most current knowledge of museum learning, In Principle, In Practice aims to promote effective programs and exhibitions, identify promising approaches for future research, and develop strategies for implementing and sustaining connections between research and practice in the museum community.Trade ReviewThis anthology is the first in a series of Learning Innovations. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. -- K. Marantz, emeritus, Ohio State University * CHOICE *This will be a useful book for people in the field, especially those new to the profession who want to understand where the field stands today on how people learn in a museum setting. Those with more of a research bent will find a number of the articles enlightening. Practitioners will find structures that help them improve their practice. And those who wish to think deeply about the meaning and purpose of museums will be inspired. -- Dennis Schatz, Vice President for Education, Pacific Science CenterIn Principle, In Practice should quickly become one of the primary sources of information and guidance for any museum seeking to optimize its role as a learning institution. This compilation of knowledge gained from years of studying learning in museums, combined with practical advice for fostering learning through museum experiences, will be a valuable tool for museum professionals for years to come. -- Dan Freas, Museum Experience Director, Conner PrairieThis book is a provocative inquiry into what learning means in a museum environment, and academics and practitioners alike will find lasting value in this broad, deep, and rich exploration of the museum experience. Because learning lies at the heart of a museum’s public value, In Principle, In Practice is essential reading for all those who care about the meaning and value of museums as social institutions. -- Robert R. Janes, Editor-in-Chief, Museum Management and CuratorshipIn Principle, In Practice offers a vital progress report on museum-based learning research to the international community of museum professionals. The essays, taken together, show that the learning research field is in media res, but has made enormous strides over the past decade. -- Carol A. Parssinen, Senior Vice President, Center for Innovation, The Franklin Institute Science MuseumThe contents of the book are worthy... * The Tamale, Spring 2008 *This collection of articles is packed with useful information, examples of exciting museum practice and some research reports that are, at times, pretty heavy going....It is a worthy addition to the Top Ten Museum Education Books started by Christine Castle on the Ham-Ed blog. -- May/June 2008 * Muse *The articles share visitor and learning research results, innovative learning and community collaboration case studies, ideas for more meaningfully engaging larger audiences, and visions of what can be studied and designed for future museum experiences....In Principle, In Practice provides an important resource for museum education professionals. * AASLH History News, Summer 2008 *This holistic approach provides a more balanced approach to education that encompasses not only learning, but critical evauation of the methodology of teaching and the contructions of knowledge. Museum educators, especiallt curators, would benefit from more critical analysis of the methods they use to construct knowledge and communicate information to visitors. This in itself might deliver more appropriate learning outcomes for visitors in the next decade..." * ReCollections, 4/21/2010 *Table of Contents1 Foreword 2 Preface 3 Part I: How People Learn in Museums 4 1.

Taylor & Francis Inc Making Minds Less Well Educated Than Our Own
Book SynopsisIn the author's words: This book is an honest attempt to understand what it means to be educated in today's world. His argument is this: No matter how important science and technology seem to industry or government or indeed to the daily life of people, as a society we believe that those educated in literature, history, and other humanities are in some way better informed, more knowing, and somehow more worthy of the descriptor well educated. This 19th-century conception of the educated mind weighs heavily on our notions on how we educate our young. When we focus on intellectual and scholarly issues in high school as opposed to issues, such as communications, basic psychology, or child raising, we are continuing to rely on outdated notions of the educated mind that come from elitist notions of who is to be educated and what that means. To accommodate the realities of today's world it is necessary to change these elitist notions. We need to rethink what it means to be educated and begin to focus on a new conception of the very idea of education. Students need to learn how to think, not how to accomplish tasks, such as passing standardized tests and reciting rote facts. In this engaging book, Roger C. Schank sets forth the premises of his argument, cites its foundations in the Great Books themselves, and illustrates it with examples from an experimental curriculum that has been used in graduate schools and with K-12 students. Making Minds Less Well Educated Than Our Own is essential reading for scholars and students in the learning sciences, instructional design, curriculum theory and planning, educational policy, school reform, philosophy of education, higher education, and anyone interested in what it means to be educated in today's world.Table of ContentsContents: Preface: What Is an Educated Mind?

McGraw-Hill Education Why Boys Fail Saving Our Sons from an Educational System Thats Leaving Them Behind
Book Synopsis Selected as one of the Top 5 Educational Books by Literacy News The signs and statistics are undeniable: boys are falling behind in school. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the biggest culprits are not video games, pop culture, or female-dominated schools biased toward girls. The real problem is that boys have been thrust into a bewildering new school environment that demands high-level reading and writing skills long before they are capable of handling them. Lacking the ability to compete, boys fall farther and farther behind. Eventually, the problem gets pushed into college, where close to 60% of the graduates are women. In a time when even cops, construction foremen, and machine operators need post-high school degrees, that’s a problem.
