Book excerpt: The 21st-Century Mind Learn and teach a path to better thinking is an owner's manual for the human mind. A concise, readable, and entertaining description of minds and how they work, this book salutes the work of brain science but focuses the reader's attention instead on the experience of having a mind and on a description of the mind's parts and functions - a mental model of our human superpower.Along with the 21st Century Mind model, the author uses dialogs between a tutor and students to animate, illustrate, and extend the discussions of the model. A five-year-old learns, "my mind is the part that makes me me" and a middle-schooler learns about thoughts, memories, and thinking. A high school student studies perceptions, biases, and consciousness. Students discover the central importance of the human mind and explore the reasons for education.The book sounds a warning. It argues that clear thinking is more important now than ever before. Teaching children the mind's strengths and limitations is essential to improving their thinking and that an absence of a suitable mental model of mind is a handicap.Chapter after chapter builds the case and calls us to action. We can't teach thinking if we can't talk clearly about the mind. Adopt a suitable description of the parts and functions of the human mind, so we have the words and ideas. Teach the 21st Century Mind!

Book Irreducible Mind

    Book Details:
  • Author : Edward F. Kelly
  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 9781442202061
  • Pages : 836 pages

Download or read book Irreducible Mind written by Edward F. Kelly and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current mainstream opinion in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind holds that all aspects of human mind and consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in brains. Views of this sort have dominated recent scholarly publication. The present volume, however, demonstrates empirically that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false. The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some cases clearly impossible, to account for in conventional physicalist terms. Topics addressed include phenomena of extreme psychophysical influence, memory, psychological automatisms and secondary personality, near-death experiences and allied phenomena, genius-level creativity, and 'mystical' states of consciousness both spontaneous and drug-induced. The authors further show that these rogue phenomena are more readily accommodated by an alternative 'transmission' or 'filter' theory of mind/brain relations advanced over a century ago by a largely forgotten genius, F. W. H. Myers, and developed further by his friend and colleague William James. This theory, moreover, ratifies the commonsense conception of human beings as causally effective conscious agents, and is fully compatible with leading-edge physics and neuroscience. The book should command the attention of all open-minded persons concerned with the still-unsolved mysteries of the mind.

Book Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century

Download or read book Accelerated Learning for the 21st Century written by Colin Rose and published by Dell. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era when the unprecedented speed of change means: The only certainty is uncertainty; you can't predict what skills will be useful in ten years time; in most professions knowledge is doubling every two or three years; and no job is forever--so being employable means being flexible and retraining regularly. Accelerated Learning into the 21st Century contains a simple but proven plan that delivers the one key skill that every working person, every parent and student must master, and every teacher should teach: it's learning how to learn. The theory of eight multiple intelligences (linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist) developed by Howard Gardner at Harvard University provides a foundation for the six-step MASTER-Mind system to facilitate learning (an acronym for Mind, Acquire, Search, Trigger, Exhibit, and Review), and is enhanced by the latest findings on the value of emotion and memory on the process of learning. Combined with motivational stories of success applying these principles, and putting forth a clear vision of how the United States can dramatically improve the education system to remain competitive in the next century, Accelerated Learning into the 21st Century is a dynamic tool for self-improvement by individuals as diverse as schoolchildren and corporate executives.

Book Global Learning in the 21st Century

Download or read book Global Learning in the 21st Century written by Tassos Barkatsas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 21st century, technological and social changes have never been as rapid as before, and educative practices must evolve and innovate to keep up. What is being done by educators today to prepare future global citizens? What are the skills and competencies that will be required by our students? What changes in how we approach education might need to be made? This book presents a modern focus on some significant issues in teaching, learning, and research that are valuable in preparing students for the 21st century. The book discusses these issues in four sections. The first section presents contemporary, innovative curriculum and pedagogical practices that are relevant for the 21st century. This also includes how social networking has an integrated role within current educative practice. The next section then explores issues and current research around motivation and engagement, and how these are changing in this era of technological and social change. The third section presents debates around inclusion and social contexts, both global and local. Finally, the fourth section explores current discourses in regard to internationalisation and globalisation and how these are being considered in educational research. The book is an important representation of some of the work currently being done for these rapidly changing times. It will appeal to academics, researchers, teacher educators, educational administrators, teachers and anyone interested in preparing students for a modern and globally interconnected world.

Drawing on research from around the world, Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others) outlines the six fundamentally human abilities that are absolute essentials for professional success and personal fulfillment--and reveals how to master them.

  • Pages : 356 pages

Download or read book The 21st century Brain written by Steven Peter Russell Rose and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2005 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a compelling and authoritative study of the brain - its past, present and future. The human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe. How it works, the relationship between mind and brain, is one of the most important of scientific questions. Researchers now claim to be able to explain the roots of human personality and behaviour and this new knowledge brings potential new powers; to cure mental illnesses, to control behaviour through tailor-made drugs, to develop human-machine hybrids. But just how seriously should we take these new threats and promises? In order to tackle these issues Steven Rose explores the evolutionary route by which brains emerged, from the origin of life to today's complex societies. He also investigates how brains develop from a single fertilised egg to the incredibly complex organ that each human possesses. Against this background he asks the challenging question: what does the future hold for the human brain?

Book Exoconsciousness

Download or read book Exoconsciousness written by Rebecca Hardcastle PhD and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-12-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exoconsciousness: Your 21st Century Mind invites readers to advance their consciousness beyond earthly pursuits, beckoning them toward an extraterrestrial identity. Where the mind travels, the body and emotions follow,the author, Rebecca Hardcastle, says. In the 1950s, space exploration prompted many people to contemplate the possibility that humans might well have extraterrestrial origins. From this launching point, Hardcastle conceived Exoconsciousness to describe the extraterrestrial origins, dimensions and abilities of human consciousness. In a short span of fifty years of space exploration, humans are now searching for answers to questions that previously they dared not contemplate, Hardcastle writes. Many questions are obvious, even urgent. Did humans originate off-planet? Are we a seeded race? Who, what and where are our legacies? With whom and how we are connected? Exoconsciousness answers these questions and many more. Hardcastle broadens the definition of consciousness, integrating personal anecdotes and testimony with contemporary brain research. She asks whether the human brain is balancing to become an extraterrestrial-like unified mind.Exoconsciousness is a heightened physical experience. It demands being fully present in the body, on a cellular, DNA and quantum level, in order to transform quickly and easily. Throughout the book, Hardcastle provides easy-to-use exercises to enhance readers exoconsciousness, as well as an extensive glossary for readers to formulate a new vocabulary. Expand your cosmic awareness with this thought-provoking new guide.
