He notes that inspiration has evolved through metaphor, distinguishing it as a uniquely metaphoric form of learning. Recognizing that students respond to passion, enthusiasm, stimulation, purpose, motivation, and inspiration, the inquiry explores the challenges of understanding these triggers. Since these triggers operate through mysterious language and are rooted in metaphor, we lack the means to penetrate their structure or fully harness their powers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsequently, our educational practices often focus more on technical processes and machinery rather than the imaginative vision that propels inspired study. This book aims to rectify this imbalance by arguing that metaphors are intrinsic to all our educational aspirations. It reveals the vast metaphorical backdrop of learning and teaching that operates on an unconscious level, often only becoming apparent through the analysis of the language that describes what truly matters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy inviting readers to explore learning in a non-traditional way, this book offers valuable insights to researchers and students in education who seek to deepen their understanding of inspiration. It encourages a fresh perspective on education, one that recognizes the power of metaphor to ignite passion, foster creativity, and enhance learning outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 603g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032230504\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Nelson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104759738618,"sku":"9781032230504","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657274939157_book.jpg?v=1657400198","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-history-of-inspiration-through-metaphors-of-learning-the-height-of-teaching-9781032230504","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
