商品描述
We have an uneasy relationship with the relentless deluge of information gushing out of academia and our media outlets. To turn it off is escapist, but to attempt to cognitively grapple with it is overwhelming. In Unforgettable: Enabling Deep and Durable Learning, a nationally recognized master teacher gives professors and their students the means to chart a clear path through this information explosion. Humans crave explanatory patterns, and this book enables teachers to think deeply about their academic disciplines to find and articulate their core explanatory principles and to engage their students in a compelling way of thinking. An alternative title for this book could be Why the Best College Teachers Do What They Do because the author articulates a compelling rationale that will equip faculty to create and deliver transformative courses. Students in transformative courses grapple with essential questions and gain mental muscle that equips them for real world challenges. W. Michael Gray is professor and chair of the Department of Biology, Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina. His teaching philosophy has been honed through a forty-year career in higher education, during which he has been recognized twice in Who's Who in American Education and three times in Who's Who Among America's Teachers. He is the founder and director of a faculty development program called the Summer Institute in Teaching Science that recently completed its twelfth summer.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
我們與不斷湧現的學術和媒體資訊之間的關係並不輕鬆。關掉這些資訊是一種逃避,但試圖在認知上與之抗衡則令人感到不堪重負。在《難以忘懷:促進深度和持久學習》一書中,一位全國知名的大師級教師為教授和學生提供了在這場資訊爆炸中劃定清晰道路的手段。人類渴望解釋模式,而這本書使教師能夠深入思考他們的學術領域,以尋找和表達其核心解釋原則,並以引人入勝的方式吸引學生思考。這本書的另一個標題可以是《為什麼最優秀的大學教師會這樣做》,因為作者闡述了一個引人注目的理由,將使教職員能夠創建和提供變革性的課程。參加變革性課程的學生面對基本問題,並獲得應對現實世界挑戰的思維能力。W. Michael Gray是南卡羅來納州格林維爾的鮑勃·瓊斯大學生物學系教授及系主任。他的教學理念經過四十年的高等教育生涯磨練,在此期間,他曾兩次入選《美國教育名人錄》,並三次入選《美國教師名人錄》。他是名為「科學教學夏季研習會」的教職員發展計畫的創始人和主任,該計畫最近完成了第十二個夏季。
