This book introduces the concept of disciplinary intuitions, and foregrounds the tacit proto-understandings and sensings as distinct from prior knowledge.
It explores the design of curricula and technology-augmented learning environments for more enduring understanding, and in doing so, initiates a provocative debate into contemporary understandings of curriculum design with regards the nature of intuitions as varying across traditional subject domains.
Kenneth Y. T. Lim is a Research Scientist at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Prior to his appointment, he taught geography and social studies in several schools and junior colleges in Singapore, as well as served as a Curriculum Designer in the Ministry of Education. He received his Masters in Technology-in-Education from Harvard and built on this during his doctoral research on adolescent spatial cognition. Kenneth’s present research interests lie in maker movements and the affordances for learning of fictive worlds and virtual environments, for which he has developed the Six Learnings curriculum framework. As a theory of learning, Disciplinary Intuitions undergirds his work in maker movements and in immersive environments.
