How We Learn: Learning and Non-learning in School and Beyond- By Knud Illeris

Abstract

Another important contribution of the book is the section on children's religious and moral development. In this section Gates discusses his own and other's empirical research on children's understandings of religious ideas and themes. He sets this research in the context of wider work on children's conceptual and moral development including that of Piaget and Kohlberg. As a researcher who has focused on children's and young people's understandings of key ideas related to democratic citizenship I found much of interest here both in terms of the findings of the research and also approaches to conducting qualitative conversations with children, including quite young ones, about complex ideas.This book has much to offer scholars, students and the public interested in RE, ME and various aspects of citizenship education. Gates writes in an accessible style and his descriptions of curricular transformations, particularly since the mid-1940s, touch on themes relevant to all these areas including diversity, inclusion, social cohesion and children's intellectual and moral development. The key weakness of the book is its repetitive nature. Because it is a collection of work written at different times for different venues the same themes and arguments appear over and over again often excessively. Some editorial work and revision in this area would make for a stronger book. That being said, I do think there is much here of interest.

Für ihn stellt der Lernprozess eine dialogische Einheit dar, die sowohl aus einer Interaktion zwischen einem Individuum und seiner materiellen und sozialen Umgebung als auch aus einem inneren geistigen Aneignungsprozess besteht.…”

“…Learning is an important way for firms to acquire new knowledge and skills (Zander and Kogut, 1995; Dyer and Singh, 1998; Inkpen, 2000). During the last two decades, learning has become a key topic, not only in the areas of psychology, pedagogy and education, but also in organizational and economic contexts and industry (Naylor, 2009). The reason is that learning has important strategic implications for the competitive advantage of a firm (Lieberman, 1987; Kharabsheh, 2007) as well as tactical implications in production (Chand and Sethi, 1990).…”
