        <description>David Kolb (1939-)

Biography

David Allen Kolb was born on December 12, 1939, in Moline, Illinois, in what he described as a “small midwestern farm town.” Partly due to the influence of his mother, Kolb developed an interest in learning and ideas from an early age, standing out among his peers who did not seem very interested in education at the time. His first encounter with experiential learning occurred in the 6th grade when his teacher organized a United Nations forum simulation where stude…</description>

Biography

Jan D. Vermunt is a Dutch learning scientist and educational psychologist whose career has traced one of the most coherent and productive intellectual arcs in the modern study of learning: from a systematic analysis of how university students learn, to a theory of how teaching can productively challenge learning, to an investigation of how teachers themselves learn and develop across their professional careers. He completed his doctoral dissertation at Tilburg Uni…</description>

Biography

Isocrates was born in 436 BCE into a wealthy Athenian family whose fortune allowed his father, a prosperous flute maker, to provide him with an exceptional education — including attendance at lectures by the leading intellectual figures of the day. Among his teachers, he is believed to have studied under Prodicus of Ceos, Tisias of Syracuse, Theramenes, Socrates, and most significantly Gorgias of Leontini, the Sicilian philosopher-orator regarded as one of the…</description>
