1. Betty McDonald
Improving Teaching and
Learning Through
Disruptive Thinking
Engaging and paradigm shifting in approach, this book argues that
disruptive thinking can improve teaching and learning by using easy,
doable, practical, hands-on novel strategies. You’ll begin with an unusual,
unpopular thought that will cause people to be uncomfortable, backpedal
and forget about unpopularity. Each section of this book begins with a
carefully selected relevant quotation (often a one liner) from the public
domain that is meant to leave you stunned; provide food for thought; and
better facilitate internalising the disruptive ideas presented in that
particular section. For confidentiality and anonymity, pseudonyms are used
to detail students’ personal experiences with disruptive thinking.
Throughout the book, the masqueline gender is conveniently used for
both males and females. The text is intentionally interspaced with relevant
shareware graphics (exhibits) from the public domain, operating under the
Creative Commons Copyright licenses that serve as stimulants for
disruption, innovation, engagement and personal pleasure.
