Educational Fabulations Teaching and Learning for a World Yet to Come, 1st Edition By Diane Conrad, Sean Wiebe [PDF] [eBook]

Document Content and Description Below

This highly original collection presents speculative fiction as fiction-based research to re-imagine education in the future. Given the particular convergence of economic and governmental pressures i... n educational institutions today, schools represent imaginative sites especially well-suited to interrogation through an SF lens. The relevance for education of the exploration and interrogation of themes related to technology, human nature, and social organization is evident; yet the speculative fiction approach is unique in its harnessing of creative capacities to envision alternatives.
