    "¿A qué se debe que la mecanización no nos haya liberado (para bien o para mal) de la maldición del trabajo, sino que haya contribuido a afianzarlo aún más? Numerosos economistas y pensadores de todo el mundo han tratado este fenómeno, aunque yo me quedaré con dos explicaciones: la del antropólogo David Graeber y la del filósofo Byung-Chul Han. David Graeber, (antropólogo, profesor, escritor, anarquista, activista social de larga trayectoria) plantea en su conocido artículo "On the phenomenon of Bullshit jobs" el porqué seguimos trabajando. Su respuesta es inquietante. No hay una razón económica, sino política: Una conspiración de las élites para evitar que podamos emplear nuestro tiempo en "perseguir nuestros propios proyectos, ideas, placeres o visiones". Nos vemos obligados a malgastar nuestras vidas en trabajos sin sentido (los "bullshit jobs"), pues eso nos convierte en manejables y sumisos. Estos "bullshit jobs" son trabajos perfectamente prescindibles, que no aportan nada a la sociedad (habla de servicios financieros, asesores legales, marketing, recursos humanos, relaciones públicas…, y sobre todo burocracia) pero que nos mantienen ocupados y dóciles. En cambio, la tesis de Byung-Chul Han, expresadas en su libro "La sociedad del cansancio" defienden que es el propio individuo quien fuerza esta relación insana con el trabajo. Hemos abandonado una sociedad disciplinaria (la de las cárceles y las fábricas) para entrar en una "sociedad del rendimiento" donde en el ámbito individual buscamos el rendimiento máximo, somos "emprendedores de nosotros mismos" que nos autoexplotamos y cuyo resultado suele ser la depresión y el hartazgo. Un buen ejemplo de esta línea de pensamiento se puso de manifiesto con la publicación de un tuit en la cuenta del World Economic Forum titulado "14 cosas que la gente exitosa hace antes de desayunar" que alguien se tomó la molestia en medir y les llevaría cerca de 4 hor

  • IN 1922 Thomas Edison predicted that "the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and ... in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks."
  • William Levenson, the director of the Cleveland public schools' radio station, claimed that "the time may come when a portable radio receiver will be as common in the classroom as is the blackboard.
  • B. F. Skinner, referring to the first days of his "teaching machines," in the late 1950s and early 1960s, wrote, "I was soon saying that, with the help of teaching machines and programmed instruction, students could learn twice as much in the same time and with the same effort as in a standard classroom."
  • ...39 more annotations...
  • a bridge to the twenty-first century ... where computers are as much a part of the classroom as blackboards
  • We could do so much to make education available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, that people could literally have a whole different attitude toward learning
  • Larry Cuban, a professor of education at Stanford University and a former school superintendent, observed that as successive rounds of new technology failed their promoters' expectations, a pattern emerged
  • Today's technology evangels argue that we've learned our lesson from past mistakes
  • The promoters of computers in schools again offer prodigious research showing improved academic achievement after using their technology
  • killed its music program last year to hire a technology coordinator
  • The possibilities of using this thing poorly so outweigh the chance of using it well, it makes people like us, who are fundamentally optimistic about computers, very reticent
  • Perhaps the best way to separate fact from fantasy is to take supporters' claims about computerized learning one by one and compare them with the evidence in the academic literature and in the everyday experiences I have observed or heard about in a variety of classrooms.
  • Computers improve both teaching practices and student achievement.
  • Computer literacy should be taught as early as possible; otherwise students will be left behind.
  • To make tomorrow's work force competitive in an increasingly high-tech world, learning computer skills must be a priority.
  • Technology programs leverage support from the business community—badly needed today because schools are increasingly starved for funds.
  • Work with computers—particularly using the Internet—brings students valuable connections with teachers, other schools and students, and a wide network of professionals around the globe.
  • Connecting K-12 Schools to the Information Superhighway
  • begins by citing numerous studies that have apparently proved that computers enhance student achievement significantly
  • n the early 1980s Apple shrewdly realized that donating computers to schools might help not only students but also company sales, as Apple's ubiquity in classrooms turned legions of families into Apple loyalists
  • there is scant evidence of greater student achievement.
  • They're especially weak in measuring intangibles such as enthusiasm and self-motivation
  • Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s
  • Apple quickly learned that teachers needed to change their classroom approach to what is commonly called "project-oriented learning
  • students learn through doing and teachers act as facilitators or partners rather than as didacts.

  • But what the students learned "had less to do with the computer and more to do with the teaching,
  • Even in success stories important caveats continually pop up. The best educational software is usually complex — most suited to older students and sophisticated teachers.
  • Part of the answer may lie in the makeup of the Administration's technology task force
  • Each chapter describes various strategies for getting computers into classrooms, and the introduction acknowledges that "this report does not evaluate the relative merits of competing demands on educational funding

  • Today's parents, knowing firsthand how families were burned by television's false promises, may want some objective advice about the age at which their children should become computer literate
  • Opinions diverge in part because research on the brain is still so sketchy, and computers are so new, that the effect of computers on the brain remains a great mystery.
  • that the mediated world is more significant than the real one.
  • n the past decade, according to the presidential task force's report, the number of jobs requiring computer skills has increased from 25 percent of all jobs in 1983 to 47 percent in 1993
  • told me the company rarely hires people who are predominantly computer experts, favoring instead those who have a talent for teamwork and are flexible and innovative
  • Many jobs obviously will demand basic computer skills if not sophisticated knowledge. But that doesn't mean that the parents or the teachers of young students need to panic.
  • NEWSPAPER financial sections carry almost daily pronouncements from the computer industry and other businesses about their high-tech hopes for America's schoolchildren
  • High-tech proponents argue that the best education software does develop flexible business intellects
  • IT is hard to visit a high-tech school without being led by a teacher into a room where students are communicating with people hundreds or thousands of miles away — over the Internet or sometimes through video-conferencing systems (two-way TV sets that broadcast live from each room).
  • The free nature of Internet information also means that students are confronted with chaos, and real dangers
  • We need less surfing in the schools, not more
  • chooling is not about information. It's getting kids to think about information. It's about understanding and knowledge and wisdom

    "... Reclaiming pedagogy as a form of educated and militant hope begins with the crucial recognition that education is not solely about job training and the production of ethically challenged entrepreneurial subjects and that artistic production does not only have to serve market interests, but are also about matters of civic engagement and literacy, critical thinking, and the capacity for democratic agency, action, and change. It is also inextricably connected to the related issues of power, inclusion, and social responsibility.[2] If young people, artists, and other cultural workers are to develop a deep respect for others, a keen sense of the common good, as well as an informed notion of community engagement, pedagogy must be viewed as a cultural, political, and moral force that provides the knowledge, values, and social relations to make such democratic practices possible. In this instance, pedagogy needs to be rigorous, self-reflective, and committed not to the dead zone of instrumental rationality but to the practice of freedom and liberation for the most vulnerable and oppressed, to a critical sensibility capable of advancing the parameters of knowledge, addressing crucial social issues, and connecting private troubles into public issues. Any viable notion of critical pedagogy must overcome the image of education as purely instrumental, as dead zones of the imagination, and sites of oppressive discipline and imposed conformity. ..."

    "¿Qué beneficios aporta aprender de forma cooperativa? Ya desde finales del siglo XIX se empezó a utilizar esta metodología dentro del aula, lo cual ha permitido que haya habido multitud de estudios para comprobar su validez. Gracias a esos estudios e investigaciones se sabe que la cooperación en el aula aplicada al aprendizaje da lugar a los siguientes resultados: Aumento de la motivación y de la productividad. Nivel superior de razonamiento y pensamiento crítico. Incremento del espíritu de equipo. Valoración de la diversidad. Relaciones solidarias. Desarrollo social. Aumento del autoestima. Capacidad de enfrentar la adversidad y las tensiones. ... Según el informe emitido por el Fondo Mundial Económico (Future of Jobs Report), habrá 10 habilidades que se necesitará desarrollar para adaptarse a la 4ª Revolución Industrial allá por el 2020: Resolución de problemas complejos. Pensamiento crítico. Creatividad. Dirección de equipos y personas. Coordinación con otros. Inteligencia Emocional. Elaboración de juicios y toma de decisiones. Servicio de orientación. Negociación. Pensamiento flexible. Todas estas habilidades se trabajan con la aplicación de esta metodología. ... ¿Qué podemos evaluar en una clase cooperativa? La evaluación en una clase cooperativa ha de estar centrada tanto en el alumnado a nivel individual como grupal. Evaluación del alumno: a nivel individual hay que evaluar los aprendizajes realizados mediante le producto. Por otro lado también hay que tener en cuenta la contribución al grupo. Evaluación del equipo-grupo: el docente ha de evaluar el funcionamiento del equipo y su desempeño cooperativo. Es tan importante evaluar el logro de los objetivos curriculares y el aprendizaje de los contenidos como el desarrollo de destrezas y habilidades para la cooperación."

    "... Soil is the bedrock of civilization (Perlin 1991, Ponting 1993). Biofuels are not sustainable or renewable. Why would we destroy our topsoil, increase global warming, deplete and pollute groundwater, destroy fisheries, and use more energy than what's gained to make ethanol? Why would we do this to our children and grandchildren? Perhaps it's a combination of pork barrel politics, an uninformed public, short-sighted greedy agribusiness corporations, jobs for the Midwest, politicians getting too large a percent of their campaign money from agribusiness (Lavelle 2007), elected leaders without science degrees, and desperation to provide liquid transportation fuels (Bucknell 1981, Hirsch 2005). ..."

    "...Si el futuro del trabajo es una robotización destructora de empleo humano, sin pagar impuestos, sin capacidad de protesta y devaluadora de los salarios de los que queden trabajando, la cuestión es cómo regular en clave de bienestar y equidad esta nueva revolución industrial. Se perfila una inédita alianza interclasista de las víctimas de la robotización donde las clases medias y obreras pueden emerger como nueva mayoría social determinante ¿Podemos decidir que ya toca repartir el tiempo de trabajo, adelantar la edad de jubilación, redistribuir las enormes plusvalías de la robotización y garantizar la co-gestión en las empresas? La robotización ya forma parte de la lucha de clases y de ahí las nuevas propuestas de hacer que los robots tributen y paguen impuestos. Las nuevas condiciones fuerzan la definición de un nuevo contrato social, de nuevas formas de propiedad y de co-gestión en las empresas y una nueva fiscalidad equitativa que se responsabilice tanto de la huella ecológica sobre el medio ambiente como de la nueva huella robótica sobre la estructura social y laboral. Las utopías de una jornada semanal de 25 horas, con industrias y sectores que paguen impuestos por los robots que utilizan y con una renta básica de ciudadanía, ya no son ideas descabelladas. Son exigencias para un nuevo sindicalismo ciudadano e interclasista, capaz de proponer alternativas post-capitalistas que sean redistributivas y humanizantes ante un futuro que no podemos consentir que acabe siendo post-humano. De ahí, la necesidad de consensuar qué tipo de regulaciones públicas podemos decidir en común ante los nuevos riesgos y excesos que se avecinan. De ahí, que la educación pública esté concernida a pronunciarse y a transformarse, sí o sí, esta vez. ... Teniendo en cuenta que los efectos de la educación son siempre a largo plazo (20 o 30 años) y eso choca con el presentismo y coyunturalismo que nos inunda y nos limita, podemos plantearnos algunos inter
