As children, we would have spilt glasses of milk, dropped things,
and broken things. As children, therefore, we would have developed
intuitions about how the world ‘works’, but we would not
necessarily have been able to explain these ‘workings’. It
would only have been till we entered formal schooling that we would
have learned codifications of canon within each respective
discipline, and consequently how to articulate the canon to explain
the intuition. The preceding example was from the natural sciences,
but one could just have easily taken an example from, say, the
environmental sciences or from the social sciences. Indeed, much of
this book does just that, as it seeks to chart the territory of a
new theory of learning around Disciplinary Intuitions. Many of the
chapters within draw frequent and explicit linkages to curriculum
design, from the premise of the need to go beyond addressing the
conceptions of learners, to seeking to understand the substrate
upon which these conceptions are founded. The argument is made that
this substrate comprises the particular set of lived experiences of
each learner, and how – because these lived experiences are as
tacit as they are diverse – designing curriculum around
misconceptions and preconceptions alone would not lead to enduring
understanding from first principles. From this perspective,
Disciplinary Intuitions constitute an exciting field at the nexus
of learning theories and curriculum design.
