Exquisite complexity: Rethinking the learning process and the learning environment in the lriformation Age

Abstract

Schools are based on organisational patterns and on beliefs about how learning occurs. Both are grounded in a community's social, economic, political and cultural values. As the School of the Future is planned attention must be paid to the powerful influences exerted by those values. Sharing plans, examining practices, and discussing policies within and across communities will be important as School of the Future advocates begin their reform efforts. © 2001 by Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
