{"product_id":"9780132887632","title":"Turning Learning Right Side Up : Putting Education Back on Track","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the age of the Internet, we educate people much as we did during the Industrial Revolution. We educate them for a world that no longer exists, instilling values antithetical to those of a free, 21st century democracy. Worst of all, too many schools extinguish the very creativity and joy they ought to nourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In Turning Learning Right Side Up, legendary systems scientist Dr. Russell Ackoff and \"in-the-trenches\" education innovator Daniel Greenberg offer a radically new path forward. In the year's most provocative conversation, they take on the very deepest questions about education: What should be its true purpose? Do classrooms make sense anymore? What should individuals contribute to their own education? Are yesterday's distinctions between subjects--and between the arts and sciences--still meaningful? What would the ideal lifelong education look like--at K-12, in universities, in the workplace, and beyond? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Ackoff and Greenberg each have experience making radical change work--successfully. Here, they combine deep idealism with a relentless focus on the real world--and arrive at solutions that are profoundly sensible and powerfully compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Why today's educational system fails--and why superficial reforms won't help\n\u003cbr\u003eThe questions politicians won't ask--and the answers they don't want to hear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e How do people learn--and why do they choose to learn?\n\u003cbr\u003eCreating schools that reflect what we know about learning \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In a 21st century democracy, what values must we nurture?\n\u003cbr\u003e...and why aren't we nurturing them? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e How can tomorrow's \"ideal schools\" be operated and funded?\n\u003cbr\u003eA plan that cuts through political gridlock and can actually work\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Beyond schools: building a society of passionate lifelong learners\n\u003cbr\u003eLearning from childhood to college to workplace through retirement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Addison Wesley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48664558108907,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":64.07,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780132887632-1.jpg?v=1781606922","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780132887632","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
