Description

The acceptance of reason with uncertainty can helplearnerssuccessfully manage their occupations and lives duringtheaccelerations prominent in the 21st century. As WilliamAyersstates: "Pritscher tilts his lance at the petrified orthodoxywecall teaching and learning, inviting us on a wild journey intotheheart of education." The book elaborates on David GeoffreySmith'squestion: "Why does so much educational 'research' todayseem sounenlightening, repetitive and incapable of moving beyonditself?The answer must be because it is 'paradigmatically stuck',andcannot see beyond the parameters of its current imaginalspace."The book offers help to go beyond the current imaginalspacethrough what is called kaplearning. Kaplearning can help thereaderto defamiliarize the common by facilitating "letting go".Pritschertakes an avant-garde approach to learning, pushing theboundariesof the long accepted norm "certainty and order" andmodernizingeducation by trading the old "optimal way" with a newskill to"reason with uncertainty". This resilience to ambiguityisprecisely where human intelligence has full advantage overmachineintelligence. Pritscher's book is impressive andremarkablywell-timed, as recent articles in Nature show that onlinegameplayers can make surprising breakthroughs in science withawell-chosen confluence of effective sources and a bit ofcreativitywith protein folding. Citizen science has led tosolutions thatscientists and computer simulators have struggled foryears,proving that even with little or no scientific training,knowingwhat to ignore can invite innovating ways to think andexecute.Pritscher's clear and wise insight will definitely serve asaninspiration for the next generation of educators, and preparethenecessary skills for young learners to successfully compete inthefuture. - Sandra Okita - Department of Math, ScienceandTechnology, Teachers College, Columbia University.
