Hi everyone,
I am reading this book called "A Whole New Mind" by D. H. Pink. I heard Dean DePauw recommending it on several occasions, so decided to finally read it. And, although, it is not directly related to teaching, students, pedagogy, etc., it does explain, to an extent, what tendencies there are and why they are taking place.
D. Pink argues that under certain geopolitical and sociological circumstances, the whole state of our mind is undergoing a change towards using more of the right side of our brain, rather than the left (if you don't know the difference, the book explains it in plentiful detail), and that, in turn, might help explain why the students we encounter are the way we are.
So, nothing major really - simply wanted to bring an interesting book to your attention.
Cheers,
Ivan
