Glasser's views on education mesh with those of several other authors I admire. He agrees with Daniel Pink that people's main motivators are autonomy, mastery, and purpose (though he calls them power and importance). He agrees with Randy Pausch that learning to work as a team is just as important as learning material. The book does contain some glaring flaws. Glasser doesn't seem to understand Pavlov's theory (he says the dogs "choose" to drool); he thinks dyslexia is students being "creative" in order to distract adults from their failure at learning to read. Nonetheless, it's a good, quick read that got me thinking about how to use learning teams in my classroom. ( ) Originally posted on my blog. The review linked to above is long, in-depth, and more than I think will be useful here. If you're looking for more depth, check that out. Below is my tl;dr version of the lengthier review: William Glasser, in Choice Theory in the Classroom, suggests that having students work on meaningful tasks in well-defined groups is an improvement over lecture-based, kill-and-drill, individual work. However, his reasoning as to why this is true border on pseudoscience and his conclusions come across as being obvious and mundane. In short, I'd recommend you skip this text and read some of John Dewey's excellent works on education. Your time will be much better spend in doing so. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, could reverse our widespread inability to get along with one another, an inability that is the source of almost all unhappiness. For progress in human relationships, he explains that we must give up the punishing, relationship-destroying external control psychology. For example, if you are in an unhappy relationship right now, he proposes that one or both of you could be using external control psychology on the other. He goes further. And suggests that misery is always related to a current unsatisfying relationship. Contrary to what you may believe, your troubles are always now, never in the past. No one can change what happened yesterday. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
