Opis

Teaching in Eden provides any teacher with powerful and virtually free tools that he or she can use to alter the fundamental nature of the educational experience. The tools are simple instructional devices that require only a teacher's time, and the courage to break out of the existing constraints to discover and assemble the elements of an ideal instructional environment.

Recenzje

"[Teaching in Eden] is Janovy's attept to shake higher education by the shoulders and bring it to its senses, asking that university instruction shift its focus from content to larger questions of process and values...It should be part of any science educator's library, and most university libraries."--Great Plains Quarterly, Summer 2006
