Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a reconsideration of the ways in which imagination engages and empowers learners across the education spectrum, from primary to adult levels and in all subject areas. It explores what imagination is and how applying imagination to teaching and learning can increase the engagement of disaffected students and reinvigorate their relationships with curriculum content.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Derek Bland is a senior lecturer at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia. Following a varied employment history that included driving instruction and attempting to sell things, Derek qualified as a graphic designer. He then gained a teaching qualification and taught visual art before becoming a regional coordinator with the Disadvantaged Schools Program in a large rural region of Victoria. He joined QUT in 1991 to establish a special entry and student support initiative to assist people from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. His research focuses on inclusive education, particularly the intersection of low socio-economic status and education, and the ways in which imagination can engage marginalised and reluctant young people with formal education.
