ABSTRACT

I am going to do three things in this chapter. First, I want to point out that the sense of wonder is both a valuable end of education and a powerful means of successful education. Second, while the sense of wonder is so natural to young children, it is such a pervasive phenomenon that many students lose touch with it as they go along schooling; considering this, I like to suggest that it is more urgent to think of ways to rekindle the sense of wonder in the minds of the students of rather higher grades or levels of schooling. Third, I will discuss what subject might be suitable to do this.
