Imagination and Teaching
Get PDFIn the field of education, teachers are commonly advised to think critically so that they don’t unquestioningly embrace ideas and practices that are not founded on solid evidence.Teachers are also encouraged to think objectively in order not to resort to their deeply entrenched biases and prejudices when making important decisions and formulating ideas.It is, however, rare to come across arguments and claims that support the value of, and the need for, thinking imaginatively in education. Many exhort the promises inherent in critical reflection but are silent on the power of magination. It is unfortunate that imagination is thought to play only a marginal role in teaching. Our ability to conceive realities contrary to what actually is the case needs to gain more attention in pedagogy given its potential to promote lasting learning. After characterizing the salient characteristics of imaginative teaching and outlining the reasons why it has been sidelined in education, this paper will discuss why teaching imaginatively is important, what the impediments and preconditions to imaginative teaching are, and how this overall approach can be put into practice
Research note: An Overview of Analytical Tools for Proving the Existence of General Equilibrium Solutions
Get PDFIn the Walras-Cassel type general equilibrium system, the coincidence of the number of equations and the number of unknown variables was regarded as the existence condition of the equilibrium solution. On the other hand, Wald, Schlesinger, von Neumann and others have investigated the mathematical conditions ensuring the existence of equilibrium solutions, especially focusing on a non-negative solution. Also, with the advent of Brauwer and Kakutaniʼs fixed point theorem, the discussions for the existence of competitive equilibrium solutions were brilliantly developed by applying topology. With the theme of general equilibrium analysis, this paper traces the historical lineage of theories surrounding the conditions for the existence of competitive equilibrium solutions, focusing mainly on the mathematical content of analytical tools, and attempts to give an overview of them
Bears, Bulls and Artificial Intelligence: Financial Education for Wealth Creation

Get PDFCourage and Teaching
Get PDFTo improve the quality of learning that takes place behind classroom doors, a lot of research is currently done on the characteristics and qualities of effective teachers. Based on the findings, some researchers contend that teachers who have a lasting effect on their learners have a rich, wide, and encyclopedic knowledge of the content they wish to impart. While not denying the importance of knowledge in general, others maintain that stellar teachers have a set of pedagogical skills that ensures learning that is deep. There is another, more philosophical approach to teaching that seeks to identify the intellectual virtues or the qualities of mind good teachers possess. Philosophers who advocate this line of research argue, for example, that teachers who are fair and open-minded exert a more positive effect on those under their charge than those who are unfair and dogmatic. This paper will follow this promising tradition of relating mental dispositions with quality teaching. It will argue that courage is an important mental trait that empowers teachers to influence their students in productive ways
