Description
Discover how the intellectual skills developed in medieval universities can inform education today. Trivium 21c explores whether a contemporary approach to learning - based on the principles of grammar, dialectic and rhetoric - can unite institutions and individuals in their pursuit of providing great education for children. The book delves into the relevance of these three tenets, drawing on insights from experts such as Alain de Botton, Daniel T. Willingham, Matthew Taylor and Elizabeth Truss MP, among others. Martin Robinson's quest to discover a better approach to education is both personal and thought-provoking, making for an engaging read. By examining the work of great thinkers across history, Robinson sets out to answer a fundamental question: can a contemporary trivium provide a common ground for educators, policymakers and parents in their efforts to educate children for the 21st century?
