They draw on modern and post-modern elements of higher education as well as personal narratives to address personal change, emergent change, and changing ideas about learning, curriculum, and communities of learning. The traditional view in higher education is that teaching causes learning. However, these authors assess how, as our ideas of student learning, research, and disciplines have developed, our understanding of teaching has evolved as well. Throughout, the authors intimate a sense of the spiritual in the processes of teaching and learning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis holistic volume encourages meditation on the multi-dimensional journey of teaching and learning, sheds new light on current paradigms of education, and presents ways of living together in a pluralistic and globally connected world. Opening each chapter with a labyrinth illustration to depict the winding and porous nature of the topic, this book should find a place on every educator's bookshelf. As teacher-scholars together discover a new understanding of higher education fit for our times, they should never forget that--as Reynolds put it--\"Being a university professor is a sacred trust.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter One Personal Change \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSherrie Reynolds: Change \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToni Craven: A Story of Change \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter Two Emergent Change \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst and Second Order Change \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChange as Fractal \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeeing through Old Ideas \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter Three Changing Ideas about Consciousness \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBedrock Ideas \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Mechanical Universe \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA Transition \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow Does This Affect Teaching and Scholarship? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter Four Changing Ideas about Learning \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eModern Learning \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTurning Points in Modern and Post-Modern Learning \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePost-Modern Learning \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter Five Changing Ideas about Curriculum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCurriculum As Sequence \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePost-Modern Curriculum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliam Doll's Curriculum As Matrix \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCurriculum as Autobiography \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelationships in a Complex System \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWho Are Our Students? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter Six Changing Ideas about Communities of Learning \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaring Relationships \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePreparing Myself for Class \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing Feedback \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFaculty and Community \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSearching for Excellence \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA New Story \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMetaphors for Teaching \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeeing and More \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCaring about Students \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRelationality in Process\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Christian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875653914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Sherrie Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52491319738549,"sku":"9780875653914","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b32706df-f3b3-48ef-a6e1-2c59e35c7377.jpg?v=1777995726","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/higher-education-reconceived-a-geography-of-change-9780875653914","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
