Thinking with your Hands I: Academic Skills with Lego Serious Play

Volledige vakbeschrijving

For ancients like Plato and Confucius, and moderns like Johan Huizinga, learning must be playful if it is to be deep, and not remain at the level of mere technical-rational knowledge. It also needs to engage us physically, and not merely digitally, building neurological linkages between hands, eyes and brains that are associated with better recall and ability to synthesise and create new knowledge. This course does both. Using tools based on Lego® Serious Play® (LSP), it gets students to rethink their relationship with learning; learn practical skills to map and understand academic arguments; and design a research project using LSP.
