Books Descriptions
Slow Looking provides a robust argument for the importance of slow looking in
learning environments both general and specialized, formal and informal, and
its connection to major concepts in teaching, learning, and knowledge. A
museum-originated practice increasingly seen as holding wide educational
benefits, slow looking contends that patient, immersive attention to content can
produce active cognitive opportunities for meaning-making and critical
thinking that may not be possible though high-speed means of information
delivery. Addressing the multi-disciplinary applications of this purposeful
behavioral practice, this book draws examples from the visual arts, literature,
science, and everyday life, using original, real-world scenarios to illustrate the
complexities and rewards of slow looking.
