Teaching Imagination and Future-Shaping Skills: What Do Universities Offer Students to Help Them Imagine and Invent?

Ted Selker

A chapter in Inventing the Almost Impossible, 2023, pp 73-79 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This short chapter reviews some of the ways that imagination is promoted and sometimes learned in and around schools. Parents and teachers try to help children view, review, and work with things that expand their purview. At school, we are shown places, things, and techniques we never imagined before. Such envisioning can be done in ways that are prescriptive and limiting to the course’s test on the topic. Today many are pushing to make the experiences more explorational by exposing students to possibilities, places, and things, and techniques can be used with material already known and motivation to find out more.
