 Dr.
Donald Rogers has reissued
In Praise of Learning in PDF format. Originally published in 1980,
it has been revised and updated with Dr. Jacqueline J. Nowak.
The
revised edition of In Praise of Learning adds a new section on the
breadth of the educational agenda as well as other minor updates to the
original 1980 edition that went through three printings.
It became
clear that a significant contribution to Christian education could take
place if we could persuade others to take the time to listen carefully to
the learners with whom they work. What is stated in the book is not
intended to be prescriptive. Rather, by reading about these interviews and
the themes and seeing how the authors speculate on their significance, it
is hoped that many others will explore their own settings, find their own
themes, and draw their own conclusions.
Learning is a pattern of behavior as well as a process of the mind. It
involves things like to whom one listens, what one reads, how one views
the teacher, as well as how much insight and reinforcement one gains.
Learning is a pattern of habits and preferences and motivation as well as
memorization and model imitation.
