与其说这是一篇书评，不如说这是对一本书在应用层面有效性的初步测试--不是为了娱乐、挑衅、刺激或教导，而是为了在追求变化的过程中引起学习。因为这本书声称是关于学习的--不是关于教学、教育或教育系统本身，而是关于技能的创造，以及学习和使用技能的环境，以便取得长期的成果。如果你读过前面的两篇评论，如果评论者对你产生了足够的影响，你现在可能处于困惑和愤怒之间的某个状态。教育家攻击商人，商人攻击学者，学者攻击教育家。锅谴责水壶，水壶谴责压力锅。在商业和教育领域，事情似乎都被打破了，修复似乎是时尚，或者至少是无效的。显然，教授的技能和应用这些技能的环境似乎无法产生预期的长期结果。一位古代的游吟诗人说：“这里发生了一些事情，你不知道是什么，对吗，琼斯先生？”后来，他暗示了一个答案：“不忙着忙碌出生的人，正忙着忙碌死去。”这是怎么回事？忙碌在忙什么？忙碌在忙什么？我不知道别指望我能解决问题。我只是个书评人。我承认我在美国呆了八年。他曾试图挽救美国的教育，但徒劳无功，他又花了八年时间与美国企业合作，试图提高生产力和文化。但是，我仍然和你们一样困惑于如何拯救美国的教育和提高美国的生产力。一本声称是关于学习的书应该能够指出解决方案。它试着指向。解决之道可能在于运用彼得·M。他是麻省理工学院斯隆管理学院系统思维和组织学习项目的负责人。圣吉说，解决我们困惑的办法是-
This is not so much a book review as an initial test of a books validity at the application level-not to entertain, to provoke, to stimulate, or to teach, but to cause learning in the pursuit of change. For this is a book that claims to be about learning-not about teaching, or education, or educational systems as such, but about the creation of both skills and the environment in which the skills are learned and used such that long-term results are achieved.If you have read the two preceding reviews and if the reviewers have influenced you sufficiently, you are now possibly in a state somewhere between confusion and outrage. Educators attack business people who attack academicians who attack educators. Pots condemn kettles who condemn pressure cookers. Things seem to be broken both in business and education, and fixes seem to be fads or at least ineffective. Clearly, the skill sets taught and the environments in which they are applied seem incapable of producing anticipated long-term results. An ancient troubadour said,“There’s something happening here and you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?” and later hinted at an answer with,“He who’s not busy being born is busy dying.” What’s happening here? What‘s busy being born? What‘s busy dying? I don’t know. Don’t look to me for solutions. I’m just a book reviewer. I acknowledge that I spent eight years inside the US. Department of Education in a futile attempt to save American education and have spent another eight years working with American business in an attempt to improve both productivity and culture. But still, I’m as confused as you are about what to do to save American education and fix American productivity. A book that claims to be about learning should be able to point to solutions. And point it tries. The solution may lie in applying the teaching and techniques of an erratically brilliant book by Peter M. Senge, director of the Systems Thinking and Organizational Learning Program at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. The solution to our confusion, says Senge, is en-
