Mind and learning

by Brent Davis

Mind and learningThis book has three parts. Part 1 is knowing, part 2 is learning, and part 3 is teaching. Teachers, of course, are most interested in teaching. So, if possible, I would prefer the introduction of a pedagogy that can give many answers on how to teach well. This book, however, draws conclusions by pointing out the limitations that the activity of teaching is not so well-engineered or deliberately well-structured. Maybe it is an absurd conclusion to the preliminary teachers who are preparing to become teachers. They wanted to help prepare all the materials, textbooks, and techniques so that they could lead one hour of classes smoothly and abundantly. However, the conclusion of this book is a bit different. This book starts with the fact that humans never learn as they teach. I did not teach, but there are many parts to learn. It is the starting point of human knowing and learning. Teaching is never an engineering or technical process. It is a complex phenomenon. On the basis of this, we have to approach the essence of humans process of recognizing and learning humble in order to teach well. Knowledge is like a tree growing. You can not form just one particular branch. To do that, we have to consider the roots from stem to stem. So learning is a complex phenomenon. It is pointless to divide one part into a part of the class. It is not something that can be taught separately in the learners overallty.
