Download I Love Learning; I Hate School: An Anthropology of College AudioBook Free
Annoyed by her students' performance, her connections with them, and her own daughter's problems in university, Susan D. Blum, a teacher of anthropology, attempt to realize why her students found their educational encounters at a top-tier institution so profoundly difficult and unsatisfying. Through her research and in discussions with her students, she learned a troubling mismatch between the goals of the university and the needs of students. In I Love Learning; I Hate University, Blum explains to two intertwined but inseparable reports: the results of her research into how students learn contrasted with just how standard education works and the non-public narrative of how she herself was changed by this understanding. Blum concludes that the dominant forms of advanced schooling do not match the myriad kinds of learning that help students - and people generally - master significant and advantageous skills and knowledge. In such a critique of advanced schooling, Blum points out why so much is certainly going wrong and will be offering suggestions for how to bring class learning more in line with appropriate kinds of engagement.
