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.
