Education on the Wild Side: Learning for the Twenty-First Century (Oklahoma Project for Discourse & Theory)

Johnson (English, U. of Kansas) explores the present crisis in education, especially in the US, by surveying broad changes in recent curricular and pedagogical theory and practice. These changes entail a shift from "teaching" to "instructing" from students learning what the teacher knows to learning how to ask questions, how to unsettle the settled, how to deal with the unknown.
