Erskine S. Dottin's Books

This timely book provides a Deweyan approach to the acquisition of dispositions against the NCATE requirement for the development of a conceptual framework that is lived and continuously evaluated. The work is, therefore, vital to colleges of education that are pursuing educative means toward the end of pedagogical thoughtfulness for teacher education candidates and other school personnel.

Enhancing Effective Thinking and Problem Solving for Preservice Teacher Education Candidates and Inservice Professionals

Dispositions as Habits of Mind provides opportunities for candidates in teacher education programs, which focus on nurturing and assessing dispositions, to see the habits of mind for making professional conduct more intelligent, practice them, and receive feedback about their performance. Some scholars have pointed out that the rush by many teacher education programs to meet accreditation mandates with regard to 'dispositions' has generated a host of measures for assessing dispositions and very little focus on programs first establishing some conceptual understanding of the construct, and then teaching candidates about dispositions. This work on dispositions highlights the serious effort to help teachers and other professional school personnel to form habits and use them as active means in making their professional conduct more effective and intelligent.

This book focuses on faculty members in a learning community in the College of Education at Florida International University. It discusses their pedagogical efforts to structure learning environments consistent with the philosophical orientation in the college’s conceptual framework to call forth dispositions, or key habits of mind that are consistent with reflective intelligence.

Bringing Out the Best in Human Effectiveness will greatly interest anyone aspiring to improve the human condition. This book focuses on an Upward Bound program conducted at the University of West Florida between 1979 and 1983. This is the long untold story of participant observers and the lessons they learned about the kind of teaching and learning that changes lives.
