Bøger af Jerome Bruner

Den bredt anerkendte amerikanske psykolog Jerome Bruner udfolder heri hele sin vidtrækkende viden om uddannelsens vilkår i vor moderne kultur. Bruner viser, hvordan børn - og dermed også uddannelsen af dem - kun når deres fulde potentiale ved at deltage fuldt ud i kulturen. Ikke bare i kulturens mere formelle sider, men i selve kulturens måde at forstå sig selv på, at tænke på, at føle og samtale på.Gennem undersøgelser af uddannelse i praksis og af teorier om uddannelse kommer Bruner frem til nye og berigende måder at angribe de klassiske problemer på. Bruners pædagogiske grundsyn og hans fastholdelse af kulturpsykologien som et legitimt fagområde under stadig udvikling er en udfordring for alle undervisere.Jerome Bruner, Research Professor of Psychology og Senior Research Fellow in Law ved New York University er forfatter til en lang række anerkendte bøger om uddannelse, hvoraf nogle er oversat til dansk.

In a masterly commentary on the possibilities of education, Bruner reveals how education can usher children into their culture, though it often fails to do so. Bruner looks past the issue of achieving individual competence to the question of how education equips individuals to participate in the culture on which life and livelihood depend.

In an unusually open discussion, thirty-three experts from the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, geography, sociology, and agriculture here present a stimulating re-examination of their accomplishments and mutual problems, of the progress the disciplines have made, and that which remains

A Study of Thinking is a pioneering account of how human beings achieve a measure of rationality in spite of the constraints imposed by bias, limited attention and memory, and the risks of error imposed by pressures of time and ignorance

In an unusually open discussion, thirty-three experts from the fields of anthropology, economics, political science, geography, sociology, and agriculture here present a stimulating re-examination of their accomplishments and mutual problems, of the progress the disciplines have made, and that which remains.

A Study of Thinking is a pioneering account of how human beings achieve a measure of rationality in spite of the constraints imposed by bias, limited attention and memory, and the risks of error imposed by pressures of time and ignorance. First published in 1956 and hailed at its appearance as a groundbreaking study, it is still read three decades later as a major contribution to our understanding of the mind. In their insightful new introduction, the authors relate the book to the cognitive revolution and its handmaiden, artificial intelligence.

The left hand has traditionally represented the powers of intuition, feeling, and spontaneity. In this classic book, Jerome Bruner inquires into the part these qualities play in determining how we know what we do know; how we can help others to know-that is, to teach; and how our conception of reality affects our actions and is modified by them. The striking and subtle discussions contained in On Knowing take on the core issues concerning man's sense of self: creativity, the search for identity, the nature of aesthetic knowledge, myth, the learning process, and modem-day attitudes toward social controls, Freud, and fate. In this revised, expanded edition, Bruner comments on his personal efforts to maintain an intuitively and rationally balanced understanding of human nature, taking into account the odd historical circumstances which have hindered academic psychology's attempts in the past to know man. Writing with wit, imagination, and deep sympathy for the human condition, Jerome Bruner speaks here to the part of man's mind that can never be completely satisfied by the right-handed virtues of order, rationality, and discipline.

Bruner sets forth nothing less than a new agenda for the study of the mind. He examines the irrepressibly human acts of imagination that allow us to make experience meaningful; he calls this side of mental activity the "narrative mode," and his book makes important advances in the effort to unravel its nature.

Jerome Bruner shows that the basic concepts of science and the humanities can be grasped intuitively at a very early age. Bruner's foundational case for the spiral curriculum has influenced a generation of educators and will continue to be a source of insight into the goals and methods of the educational process.

Bruner argues that the cognitive revolution, with its fixation on a computational model of mind, has led psychology away from the deeper objective of understanding mind as a creator of meanings. Only by breaking out of the limitations of this model can we grasp the interaction through which mind both constitutes and is constituted by culture.
