Overview
An engaging proposal for a new theory of education, diagraming how humans and technology can maximize learning for students.
In this absorbing volume, Jon Dron views education, learning, and teaching through a technological lens. Focusing on the parts we play in technologies--from language and pedagogies to computers and regulations--Dron posits that individuals are not just users but technical coparticipants.
Dron reframes popular families of educational theory and explains a variety of educational phenomena, including the failure of learning style theories, literacies, the prevalence of cheating, and the fundamental differences between online and in-person learning. Ultimately, How Education Works articulates how practitioners in education can usefully understand technology, education, and their relationship to improve teaching practice.
