Dennis Matthies (born April 12, 1946) received a B.S. in physics from MIT in 1968 and an M.A. in Philosophy and Humanities in 1981 from Stanford University, where he taught until 1997. From 1992 to 1997, at Stanford University’s (Center for Teaching and Learning ) (CTL), Dennis Matthies developed several experimental courses that have subsequently become known to a wider public. These include: Precision Questioning (which was initially taught in the Stanford Philosophy Department), Self Coaching, Mental Ecology, Think on Your Feet, and Concept Busting. In each subject the approach is practical and meta-cognitive. These CTL subjects became part of a curriculum of short courses designed to prepare university students for both university learning and work in the 21st Century. Through broadcasts on the Stanford Instructional Television Network, Precision Questioning and Self Coaching acquired a following in Silicon Valley. Different versions of Precision Questioning have been taught in universities inside and outside the United States. From 1996 to 2004 the concept of Precision Questioning was developed further as a result of Dennis’s work as an independent contractor at Cypress Semiconductor in San Jose, California, at Microsoft Corporation, in Redmond, Washington, and at a number of other companies in Silicon Valley. In 2004, with Professor (Dr. Monica Worline ) from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University, Dennis co-founded (Vervago ), a content creation and training company that focuses on higher-order cognitive skills used by knowledge workers in areas of high complexity. Dennis is a recipient of the Dinkelspiel Award for Outstanding Service to Undergraduate Education. ==External links== * ''(Do it Yourself Mentoring, the Keys to Self-Coaching )'', Fast Company, June 1996 * ''(The Relief Coach for Entry-Level Employees )'', Fast Company, October 1996 * ''(Make Smarter Mistakes )'', Fast Company, October, 1997 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dennis Matthies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
