The document is a preface and introduction to a book by Roger Schank on cognitive processes, focusing on teaching and learning. Schank reflects on his father's influence on his teaching philosophy, emphasizing the importance of engaging students' minds rather than just teaching facts. He shares insights from former students and discusses the need for a shift from content-based instruction to cognitively-based learning. The book aims to redefine teaching and learning paradigms, advocating for a more practical, mentor-apprentice approach rather than traditional academic methods.
