Mindset Theory in education? Why have computers so overwhelmingly failed
to become the academic panacea many expected them to be? How can the

teacher professionalism?
In this book, brain and behavioural research is combined with respected
philosophy in order to place ten widely accepted yet rarely examined
aspects of education under the microscope.
