In this captivating volume, Jon Dron delves into the realm of education, learning, and teaching, offering a unique perspective that embraces technology as a central theme. Through his lens, he explores the intricate roles we play in various technological aspects, ranging from language and pedagogies to computers and regulations. Dron proposes a groundbreaking new theory of education, envisioning individuals as active co-participants rather than mere users of technology. These technologies, which are deeply intertwined with our cognition and constitute an integral part of our existence, shape our relationships with one another and the world around us.
Dron skillfully reinterprets prevalent educational theories, including objectivism, subjectivism, and complexivism, providing insightful explanations for a diverse range of educational phenomena. He sheds light on the shortcomings of learning style theories, delves into the nature of literacies, identifies systemic weaknesses in learning management systems, explores the prevalence of cheating in educational institutions, and highlights the fundamental differences between online and in-person learning.
Ultimately, How Education Works serves as a valuable guide for practitioners in education, empowering them to comprehend technology, education, and their interrelationship in order to enhance teaching practices. By embracing technology as a catalyst for transformation, educators can unlock new avenues for student engagement, personalized learning, and improved outcomes. This thought-provoking book encourages educators to embrace the digital age and leverage its potential to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment for all.
