A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Vella writes persuasively about the power of listening as the predominant tool for effective teaching.... This is a book that broadens cultural horizons, tears down superficial boundaries, and presents excellent practical ideas for all adult educators." (NACADA Journal)

"Anyone who wants to help make the world a better place should read this book. Jane Vella is an educator par excellence. But the message of this book is not for academics; it is for the people who will help things change on the ground. This book is about reality real people, real situations, and what I call real development." (James P. Grant, executive director, UNICEF)

"Adult educators, because they are also lifelong learners, will continually cheer, "YES!" as they read Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach. The management and literacy trainers in our organization need this book as they prepare to become better facilitators of learning" (Margaret A. Price, director of field services, Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc.)

"Easy to read and contains a wealth of information on how we can develop the skills and attitudes that will make a difference in the way we teach our medical students, our residents, and our patients.

(Rodrigo Escalona, M.D., assistant professor, Department of Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine.)

Quatrième de couverture :

In this updated version of her landmark book Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach, celebrated adult educator Jane Vella revisits her twelve principles of dialogue education with a new theoretical perspective gleaned from the discipline of quantum physics. Vella sees the path to learning as a holistic, integrated, spiritual, and energetic process. She uses engaging, personal stories of her work in a variety of adult learning settings, in different countries and with different educational purposes, to show readers how to utilize the twelve principles in their own practice with any type of adult learner, anywhere.
New material includes: the latest research on learning tasks; updated ways to do needs assessment; and new insights from the field of quantum physics applied to adult teaching and learning.
