Taylor & Francis Online :: Supervision and scholarly writing: writing to learn-learning... - 0 views

students’ difficulties with the academic genre should be considered to be the norm, rather than the exception.

fallacious to assume that supervisors are necessarily scholarly writers
-
benefit of naming what will be attended to and framing its context accrues through the process of planning, action and reflection
-
I conceived postgraduate students’ writing as similar to that of an academic co‐author.

explored whether these were careless errors or whether the students had difficulty with particular aspects of writin
-
writing block initially posed a major ethical dilemma for me because the ethical guidelines of authorship restrict the writing that should be undertaken by a superviso
-
not writing per se that underpinned Denise’s writing block but a lack of knowledge about the content and organization of a particular writing task.
-
nadvertently engaged in unethical writing behaviour by including me as a co‐author without my permission

tendency to rush through corrections, which often resulted in many issues identified on a previous draft remaining unresolved
-
writing was often submitted and returned electronically using the ‘comments’ and ‘track changes’ tools in Microsoft Word.

email guidance, sessions where writing was modeled and her writing scaffolded, and handouts on writing style.

supervisor, it was difficult to maintain interest in and respond to Sherry’s work because of the time lag between each piece of writing

Sherry’s approach to writing was likely to result in a lengthy completion time and she needed to accept the responsibility for managing her writing tasks.

Good points, but completely misses the most powerful part of this - learning with others. but, from a branding expert, I guess this is primarily what they are concerned with - protecting and promoting one's brand. The sad part in this is that for some admins, it might actually take a piece in Forbes by a marketing person to catch their attention rather than the countless educators who having been promoting this message... and more.

Avoid overly complex material that includes lots of facts and figures. Complex subject matter is often more effectively conveyed through handouts and readings than through a podcast.

How the iPad 2 Will Revolutionize Education | Fast Company - 105 views
-
Not compelling at all. When a company tells you how a technology will revolutionize education, think very carefully, deeply, and critically.
-
Agreed. I'll consider the iPad an educational resource when Apple starts giving some serious grants for it. Till then, it just seems like Jobs wants schools to join the bandwagon the way consumers do.

Education Week: Fighting the Enemies of Personalized Learning - 57 views
-
emergence of technology in education has certainly created a renewed interest in personalizing learning and providing teachers with the tools necessary for differentiating curriculum.
-
True personalization requires more than just looking at achievement levels and trying to compensate for deficiencies
- ...5 more annotations...
-
differentiation of content requires adding more depth and complexity to the curriculum rather than transmitting more or easier factual material.
-
achievement levels, information about student interests, learning styles, and preferred modes of expression allow us to make decisions about personalization that take multiple dimensions of the learner into account.
-
Respect for learning-style variations can be achieved by using instructional strategies such as simulations, Socratic inquiry, problem-based learning, dramatizations, and individual and small-group investigations of real problems. Expression-style preferences can be accommodated by giving students opportunities to communicate visually, graphically, artistically, and through animatronics, multimedia, and various community-service involvements.
-
Our obsession with content mastery and Skinner's behavioral theory of learning are slowly but surely giving way to an interest in personalization and differentiation.
-
While it is understandable that our early use of technology was mainly an adaptation of Gutenberg-online and a teaching-machine mentality of what learning is all about, we now have both the pedagogical rationale and technological capability to use the many dimensions of student characteristics that clearly and unequivocally result in higher engagement, enjoyment, and enthusiasm for learning.

Lateline - 29/10/2012: PMs plan for every child to learn an Asian language - 14 views

If you understand through the learning of language how people think, how they construct meaning, what is important to them culturally, then I think that gives us better insights into the people that we're going to be working with in the future and negotiating with.
-
The Prime Minister says she'll force the curriculum changes by tying them to Commonwealth funding to state and private schools.
-
-
Broadly, teachers and education experts have welcomed the plan, but question where the money is going to come from.
-
-
Currently across all levels of schooling there's around 18 per cent of our young people who are studying one of the four priority Asian languages: Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian and Korean. And that diminishes to fewer than 6 per cent by the time they get to Year 12.
-
-
say we simply don't have enough Asian language teachers to deliver the Prime Minister's vision and for the last decade the numbers of graduates have been declining.
-
hat's happened because universities have been under these budget constraints and when they've made decisions about what to cut, they cut courses with low enrolments and there goes the languages.

-
will help.JULIA GILLARD: We live in an age of different learning possibilities and choices. What we can do through the National Broadband Network, what we can do through having the world's first online national curriculum, which is what the Australian curriculum is, means we can get a deeper penetration of language, literacy and learning.
-
-
we need to be looking very carefully at what sort of encouragement and incentives we can provide to students so they continue doing a language, go on and major in a language in university and then go on to teach in the area.
