The Transformative Classroom
Transformative approaches to teaching and learning have become ubiquitous in education today. Researchers, practitioners and commentators alike often claim that a truly worthwhile education should transform learners in a profound and enduring way. But what exactly does it mean to be so transformed? What should teachers be transforming students into? Should they really attempt to transform students at all? The Transformative Classroom engages with these questions left open by the vast discussion of transformative education, providing a synthetic overview and critique of some of the most influential approaches today. In doing so, the book offers a new theory of transformative education that fo...

On the Edge of Their Seats
"An epidemic of boredom is spreading through our nation's secondary schools and colleges. Students across America are disengaged at depressingly high levels; They are continually distracted; and they often see their education as a series of dull and uninspiring classes that they simply must endure. Is there any hope for this bored and distracted generation? Can teachers turn the tide of the boredom epidemic by making their classrooms places of excitement and inspiration? Yes, they can. This book offers teachers a straightforward and intuitive approach to increase student engagement in the classroom. Drawing on the latest research in several decades of experience in teacher education, this book shows how teachers can make their classrooms inspiring and transformative places of learning. This guidance comes in the form of a simple four-step framework that teachers can begin immediately applying in their classrooms. The four-step framework is not just effective instruction -- its teaching that transforms." - Back cover.
Transformative Education
It has become commonplace within the educational research community to invoke the transformative power of education. Calls to adopt a “transformative” approach to teaching, learning, pedagogy, assessment and professional education can be heard across the disciplines of educational research today - in fields as different as adult education and school leadership, and as estranged as social justice education and educational psychology. Parallel to this discussion is the increasing usage of the language of transformation by administrators, informational brochures, official websites, and student affairs personnel in higher education. Beyond the English-speaking world, the German fields of edu...
Essays in the Phenomenology of Learning
This book explores the phenomenology of learning with particular focus on the ‘closeness’ or ‘proximity’ of the knowledge that impacts on learners, young and old. Studying the power of learning to transform human beings, this book offers an in-depth discussion of how different phenomenologists understand this ‘proximate’ power. It draws on ideas of encounter from Husserl, care from Heidegger, bodily learning from Merleau-Ponty, language from Foucault, omnipotence from Winnicott and recognition from Honneth. The book examines how phenomenological insight can explain the character of radical learning. The book will appeal to academics and post-graduate students in the fields of philosophy of education, educational psychology, teaching, and learning.
