Description

Creativity Crisis: A New Approach to Education This book challenges the conventional approach to education by critiquing the doctrine of constructive alignment. Nelson argues that this method, intended to reduce student confusion, can actually lead to narrow learning experiences that lack surprise and are out of step with the media landscape we live in. Drawing on philological investigations into the roots of educational terms, Nelson develops a new method that seeks to triangulate subjective intuitions about learning. By examining the origins of key terms, he identifies a need for an independent view of education that differs from contemporary theory and practice. The result is a counterintuitive approach that challenges assumptions underpinning teaching and learning reform. The book investigates the phenomenology of expectations in any learning circumstance, revealing that the dynamic is not just about preclass activities, but the whole fabric of learning itself.
