For many children much of the time their experience in classrooms
can be rather dull, and yet the world the school is supposed to
initiate children into is full of wonder. This book offers a rich
understanding of the nature and roles of wonder in general and
provides multiple suggestions for to how to revive wonder in adults
(teachers and curriculum makers) and how to keep it alive in
children. Its aim is to show that adequate education needs to take
seriously the task of evoking wonder about the content of the
curriculum and to show how this can routinely be done in everyday
classrooms. The authors do not wax flowery; they present strong
arguments based on either research or precisely described
experience, and demonstrate how this argument can be seen to work
itself out in daily practice. The emphasis is not on ways of
evoking wonder that might require virtuoso teaching, but rather on
how wonder can be evoked about the everyday features of the math or
science or social studies curriculum in regular classrooms.
