Reply To: Discussing Education, Libraries and FOSIL With Elizabeth Hutchinson
Saturday 9 May | Episode 25 of FOSIL, Education and School Libraries is now available: Generative AI Through Inquiry: Part 4.
In this Episode, we discussed GenAI in relation to the Connect and Wonder stages of the FOSIL Inquiry Cycle.
The next Episode, which is scheduled for Saturday 30 May, will be our 26th Episode and mark three years (!) of discussing Education, Libraries and FOSIL with Elizabeth.
References in relation to the Connect and Wonder stages:
- Connect: The sense of awe—in Connect—that moves us to (w/W)onder is reflected in Paul Atreides’ observation in Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune (1976) that we are surrounded by the unknown, which is where we look for knowledge. The movement from the known into the unknown is guided and sustained by significant questions.
- Wonder: Hans-Georg Gadamer (Truth and method, 1960/1994): “To question means to lay open, to place in the open. Only a person who has questions can have knowledge.“
- Wonder: Jerome Bruner (The process of education, 1960/1977): “Given particular subject matter or a particular concept, it is easy to ask trivial questions. … It is also easy to ask impossibly difficult questions. The trick is to find the medium questions that can be answered and that take you somewhere.“
