Natural Born Learners ~ Edited By Beatrice Ekwa Ekoko and Carlo Ricci
A series of essays that were once radio interviews. This books is a wonderful reflection of the diversity of thought in the natural learning, self directed education world.
Divided into three sections, the first part of the book deals with what constitutes a learner-centered approach to education. The second section addresses how some have implemented this approach. In the last section, learners who have lived learner-centred learning share narratives about their experiences.
