While researching for the third journal entry for PIDP 3240 I came across a couple of books I think are quite relative to what I am doing in my work and with respect to the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program.
The first is by Derek Bok, a renowned educator and former Harvard President. Bok advocates for taking a more holistic approach to education to develop well rounded individuals rather than simply acquiring knowledge.
The second book is by L. Dee Fink, also a renowned educator. Fink offers a guide on course design that focuses on using teaching and evaluation strategies that better engage students by using a wide variety of techniques to develop knowledge, practical skills and critical thinking skills.
Here is a video of Dr. Bok speaking at UCSD on the subject of undergraduate education.
