Reading, Writing, and Thinking
The Postformal Basics
Series: - Bold Visions in Educational Research, Volume: 11
In a world gone mad with standardized curricula and the degradation of the profession of teaching, P. L. Thomas and Joe Kincheloe attempt to bring sanity back to the discussion of the teaching of some of the basic features of the educational process. In Reading, Writing, and Thinking: The Postformal Basics the authors take on the ârational irrationalityâ of current imperial pedagogical practices, providing readers with provocative insights into the bizarre assumptions surrounding the contemporary teaching of reading, writing, and thinking. The authors are obsessed with producing an accessible book for multiple audiencesâparents, teachers, scholars of educationâthat moves beyond critique to a new domain of the social and educational imagination. Readers of Thomasâ and Kincheloeâs book embark on a mind trip beginning with âwhat isâ and moving to the realm of âwhat could be.â In this context they introduce readers to a critical theory of thinkingâpostformalismâthat moves the social and educational conversation to a new terrain of individual and social consciousness.
Tired of the same educational policies and âsolutionsâ in the teaching of reading, writing, and thinking, the authors become socio-psychic explorers who move readers past the boundaries of contemporary pedagogical perception.
