An Analysis of Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow

An Analysis of Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow

Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman offers a general audience access to over six decades of insight and expertise from a Nobel Laureate in an accessible and interesting way. Kahneman’s work focuses largely on the problem of how we think and warns of the dangers of trusting to intuition – which springs from “fast” but broad and emotional thinking – rather than engaging in the slower harder but surer thinking that stems from logical deliberate decision-making. Written in a lively style that engages readers in the experiments for which Kahneman won the Nobel Thinking Fast and Slow’s real triumph is to force us to think about our own thinking. | An Analysis of Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow

Slow Looking The Art and Practice of Learning Through Observation

Slow Looking The Art and Practice of Learning Through Observation

Slow Looking provides a robust argument for the importance of slow looking in learning environments both general and specialized formal and informal and its connection to major concepts in teaching learning and knowledge. A museum-originated practice increasingly seen as holding wide educational benefits slow looking contends that patient immersive attention to content can produce active cognitive opportunities for meaning-making and critical thinking that may not be possible though high-speed means of information delivery. Addressing the multi-disciplinary applications of this purposeful behavioral practice this book draws examples from the visual arts literature science and everyday life using original real-world scenarios to illustrate the complexities and rewards of slow looking. | Slow Looking The Art and Practice of Learning Through Observation

Critical Thinking and Education

Critical Thinking and Education

The skills of ‘critical thinking’ occupy a contentious place in debates on education. It is of course widely recognised that education must consist of more than an unreasoning accumulation of facts and skills and that modern society demands a highly-developed critical awareness to cope with its ever-increasing complexities. Yet the very term ‘critical thinking’ threatens to become a vague and unexamined slogan displayed more in party tricks than in useful knowledge. In this book first published in 1981 Professor McPeck offers a critique of the major ideas and important work in the field including those of Ennis and de Bono while at the same time presenting his own rigorous ideas on the proper place in critical thinking in the philosophy of education. The book aims to establish a sound basis on which the role of critical thinking in schools can be evaluated and the author makes a strong case for the contribution it can make to resolving current dilemmas of the curriculum. | Critical Thinking and Education

Ritual and Systems Thinking Managing an Initial Encounter

Ritual and Systems Thinking Managing an Initial Encounter

To many individuals and organisations situations generated by the world coronavirus pandemic have posed challenges and opportunities. We need to rethink how we interact with each other and with our natural environments. This book offers a way forward by proposing the use of rituals insight: semi-encoded patterns of thinking or actions to help us rebuild a sense of community which integrated with insights of applied systems thinking and in contrast to a dominant pragmatist orientation of thinking and action could help us further cope with work or education situations in which we still want to pursue our authenticity as human beings. This book offers ways to help make sense of how we could systemically and compassionately slow down and cope with work or education during and after the world coronavirus pandemic. It does so by integrating ideas about ritual with current research and practice on applied systems thinking. The author establishes a dialogue for co-existence between individuals and the knowledge disciplines of creativity and applied systems thinking using the mediation of rituals to help us appreciate our world with others. This conversation is much needed given our sense of uncertainty during and after the world coronavirus pandemic and the challenges or opportunities offered by hybrid work and education. Throughout the book the conversation explores new directions for research and practice beyond “futureaction” perspectives or orientations and the inclusion of electronically mediated spaces. The insights provided in this book offer a vital resource for management researchers and upper-level students particularly those researching and studying applied systems thinking and creativity. | Ritual and Systems Thinking Managing an Initial Encounter

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

This book explores the relationship with time in early childhood by arguing for the valuing of slow pedagogies and slow knowledge. Alison Clark points to alternative practices in Early Childhood Education and Care that enable a different pace and rhythm against the backdrop of the acceleration in early childhood and the proliferation of testing and measurement. Diverse approaches are explored to enable an ‘unhurried child’ and less hurried adults. Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child is divided in three parts. Part 1 Reasons to be slow looks at the pressures in Early Childhood Education and Care to speed up and for children to be ‘readied’ for the next stage. The book then explores different relationships with time for young children and educators. Part 2 Slow pedagogies and practices explore some of the forms slow practices can take including outdoors in the studio in everyday routines through stories in pedagogical documentation and in ‘slow’ research. Part 3 Moving forward shows what a ‘timefull’ approach to ECEC can look like whilst debating the challenges and possibilities that exist. The book serves as a catalyst for urgent discussion about the need to slow down in early childhood education and teacher education and explores case studies of where slow early childhood education are already happening. It will be a key reading for researchers practitioners and policy-makers about the relationship with time in early childhood and the importance of taking a longer view. | Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education
