Education as a complex adaptive system? - Casting Out Nines - The Chronicle of Higher E... - 1 views

shared by kaine edwards on 06 Mar 12 - No Cached

If you look at some of the descriptors of a complex adaptive system, these are certainly not the descriptors of traditional, formal higher (or lower) education. Emergence, self-similarity, self-organization… doesn’t sound like the usual notion of college, does it? Indeed, it’s hard to conceptualize just how a complex adaptive systems model of education would be implemented at all. But perhaps that’s an indicator of failed thinking — must we think of education as something to be implemented? Or is it something that happens? Whatever the case, the authors argue it’s just such a system that is needed to support environments where learning by doing takes place and where engagement happens both inside and outside of a classroom.

education is an ecosystem, full of dynamically-connected multiple agents that move in a web of interactions that ultimately change the course of the system itself over time.

Naked Lecturer? I had a look, of course. There were no pictures. Bummer. A while ago, I checked out "The Naked Scientists" podcast and found they all wore white lab coats, just like the rest of them. Life is full of disappointments. I see that "The Naked Lecturer" worked in both the "Further" and "Higher" Education sectors. I'm trying to imagine how to picture that . . . An x-y chart? Perhaps a hot air balloon and a jet plane? Would You Rather: Ride in a hot air balloon or travel in a jet plane? In any case, the resources are very useful, and they are presented in a usable way. Especially the little post-it Notes. Oh, I get it. Use them to cover up the interesting bits. Very cleaver. That's not higher or further, that's just better.
