Description
Learning in Depth offers a radical yet practical approach to education, one that prioritises deep knowledge over broad generalisation. Kieran Egan argues that true education should encompass both general knowledge and detailed understanding.
In this book, Egan outlines an innovative plan to incorporate deep learning into basic education. Students would study one topic in depth throughout their school years, with the guidance of a supervising teacher. This approach aims to foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter and build portfolios of knowledge that grow over time.
By adopting this approach, students will develop important life skills, such as the value of dedication and the delight of knowing something in depth. With Learning in Depth as a blueprint, parents, educators, and administrators can take the first steps towards transforming schools and deepening their students' minds.
