Reactions to story from John Connell
Paradigm Wars
http://www.johnconnell.co.uk/ blog/ ?p=818
I picked up a copy this afternoon of Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in San Francisco Airport, before a flight to Newark and then onto Edinburgh overnight. I managed to read quite a bit of it in the five hours or so I had on the flight to New Jersey, picking out sections that caught my eye and skipping bits once I thought I had got the point of a chapter. I will go back and read it more carefully in the next few weeks. Given that we live in interesting times, as they say, Kuhn’s take on how paradigm shifts happen in science, I think, has some resonance for what is going on in education at the moment.
