Synopsis

Moving away from accepted notions of educational theory and practice, Kieran Egan proposes a radical new way to look at education. Working from a perspective first presented in his book, Primary Understanding, Egan describes his view of the education process as a sequence of progressively more sophisticated layers of understanding. Romantic Understanding focuses of how typical eight to fifteen year olds are engaged by knowledge and most readily make sense of experience.
