About This Item
New York: BasicBooks / HarperCollins, 1991. Reprint ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear, thick remainder stripe. 303 pp. Merging cognitive science with educational agenda, he makes an eloquent case for restructuring our schools by showing just how ill-suited our minds and natural patterns of learning are to the prevailing modes of education. He finds clues for reform in the ancient art of apprenticeship, and in the modern children's museum. In both cases, genuine understanding occurs because learning takes place in a rich and meaningful context (rather than just rote learning).
