Abstract

Chapter 10 asks us to think about two paradoxes. The first is that while print usage in the trade world has largely stabilized, the education market is aggressively adopting digital textbooks. Moreover, many students now judge print reading to be boring. The second paradox is that as screens potentially become the default mode for reading in schools, one of the much-touted goals of education, critical thinking, is ill suited to digital reading. While the notion of critical thinking remains ill defined, it surely includes reasoned analysis and reflection, for which the evidence indicates print is better suited. Digital tools, which are effective for information-seeking and fact-checking, also appear to be undermining our motivation for using our memory capacity. But readers are not defenseless. The chapter closes with concrete suggestions for mapping a way forward.

前面的路
第10章要求我们思考两个悖论。首先,虽然纸质书在贸易领域的使用基本稳定,但教育市场正在积极采用数字教科书。此外,许多学生现在认为印刷品阅读很无聊。第二个悖论是,随着屏幕可能成为学校的默认阅读模式,备受吹捧的教育目标之一——批判性思维,并不适合数字阅读。虽然批判性思维的概念仍然不明确,但它肯定包括理性的分析和反思,证据表明印刷品更适合。数字工具在寻找信息和核实事实方面很有效,但似乎也在削弱我们使用记忆容量的动机。但读者并非毫无防备。本章最后提出了规划前进道路的具体建议。
