Education and Its Discontents: Teaching, the Humanities, and the Importance of a Liberal Education in the Age of Mass Information, by Mark Moss, is an exploration of how the traditional educational environment, particularly in the post-secondary world, is changing as a consequence of the influx of new technology. Students now have access to myriad of technologies that instead of supplementing the educational process, have actually taken it over. Faculty who do not adapt face enormous obstacles, and those who do adapt run the risk of eroding the integrity of what they have been trained to teach. Moss discusses that it is now not only how we learn, but what we continue to teach, and how that enormously important legacy is protected.
| Sobre o Livro |
Na era da informação em massa, Moss descreve como tecnologias que deveriam suplementar o ensino passaram a dominar salas de aula e rotinas estudantis. Moss debate o impasse dos docentes: adaptar métodos e correr o risco de diluir a integridade das humanidades, ao mesmo tempo em que questiona quais conteúdos merecem ser preservados. Leitura que oferece argumentos concretos para repensar currículo, avaliação e a relação entre técnica e tradição pedagógica.
