critics see reason as an inherently flawed instrument - 0 views

  •  
    re: the psychologist Jonathan Haidt: In Haidt's view, the philosophers' dream of reason isn't just naïve, it is radically unfounded, the product of what he calls "the rationalist delusion." As he puts it, "Anyone who values truth should stop worshiping reason. We all need to take a cold, hard look at the evidence and see reasoning for what it is." Haidt sees two points about reasoning to be particularly important: the first concerns the efficacy (or lack thereof) of reasoning; the second concerns the point of doing so publicly: of exchanging reasons.

Evidence of learning: Fred Grist and Mike Beard - 0 views

    "Our youngsters respond keenly, and usually responsibly, when given a big say in the things that affect them. For instance, a couple of years ago, when we needed to appoint pastoral care staff, we decided to ask the children what qualities such a staff member should have. After lively discussion they came up with: calm (not wind us up); confident (not scared of us); firm but fair (able to deal with things when they happen and not put it off till later); able to listen well (to hear what it is we really have to say); able to help us sort out problems and learn for ourselves (give us help with options, not tell us what to do); able to treat us as individuals (not seeing all behaviours as the same); able, most of all, to treat us in the way you yourself would want to be treated. These requirements now appear in every job vacancy we advertise, whatever the position."

    What does this say about online learning platforms and courses? (Do they ever come with red, yellow and green lights that administrators see when they sign contracts for $$millions without knowing the educational effects of the online systems?) Note other skeptical views expressed in the comments section.

    "That paper, titled "How Useful Is the Theory of Disruptive Innovation?," does not take up a more far-reaching question: Why has a mostly untested theory persisted and proliferated for 20 years? "
