Managing to Learn by Patrick Whitaker
The UK National Curriculum reforms build on the assumption that if the content is right, standards will rise. This book challenges this assumption and argues that the teaching and learning process itself is vital. The author discusses how we have vastly underestimated individuals' capacity to manage their own learning. He claims that experiential learning offers a vital insight into making learning a more complete process, by emphasizing the importance of reflection, analyzing and theorizing and then active experimentation.
