內容簡介

改造自我,成為天生學習者
發現超乎想像的學習力,掌握如何駕馭這股超級力量

學習是人類這個物種的靈魂任務。從踏出的第一步到人生的最後一口氣,人生所學習的一切造就了現在的我們。目前的教育模式預測人們可獲得多少收入,吸收多少內容,甚至是壽命長短。學習的重要性顯而易見,但學習與人類進步之間早已失去關聯。儘管我們身處資訊時代,在知識經濟中運作,但學校教育卻仍是工業時代的遺跡。

教育人士Alex Beard帶領我們造訪令人目眩神迷的未來學習之旅,展示如何讓學習成為必需條件,及如何做得更好。內容交織專家的見解,有趣的軼事和智能研究。走訪人潮洶湧的空中步道,看見全視野的倫敦市,甚至來到矽谷的高科技大廳,穿越南韓的實驗工廠到芬蘭的融合教室,揭示現代人類仍站在學習革命的尖端。

從人工智慧到我們對嬰兒大腦日益增長的理解,從創造的根源到課堂中不自覺發起的極端主義,本書絕對是改變學習路線的最佳指南。

Learning is the soul of our species. From our first steps to our last words, we are what we learn. Our education predicts how much we'll earn, how content we will be, even how long we'll live. But for all its obvious importance, learning has lost touch with human progress. We live in an information age, work in a knowledge economy, yet our schools are relics of an industrial era.

In Natural Born Learners, education insider Alex Beard takes us on a dazzling tour of the future of learning to show how we can - and why we must - do better. Weaving together expert insight, entertaining anecdote and intelligent research, Beard leads us from the crowded corridors of a London comprehensive to the high-tech halls of Silicon Valley, through the exam factories of South Korea to the inclusive classrooms of Finland to reveal that today we stand on the cusp of a learning revolution.

Tackling everything from artificial intelligence to our growing understanding of the infant brain, from the roots of creativity to the way classrooms can be unwitting engines of extremism, this book is a user's guide to transforming learning in the twenty-first century and roadmap to accessing our better future selves.
