Who's Asking? - Alfie Kohn - 0 views

  •  
    "It seems only fitting to explore the role of questions in education by asking questions about the process of doing so. I propose that we start with the customary way of framing this topic and then proceed to questions that are deeper and potentially more subversive of traditional schooling. 1. WHICH QUESTIONS? To begin, let's consider what we might ask our students. The least interesting questions are those with straightforward factual answers. That's why a number of writers have encouraged the use of questions described variously as "true" (Wolf, 1987), "essential" (Simon, 2002), "generative" (Perkins, 1992; Perrone, 1998), "guiding" (Traver, 1998), or "fertile" (Harpaz & Lefstein, 2000). What the best of these share is that they're open-ended. Sometimes, in fact, no definitive right answer can be found at all. And even when there is one - or at least when there is reason to prefer some responses to others - the answer isn't obvious and can't be summarized in a sentence. Why is it so hard to find a cure for cancer? Do numbers ever end? Why do people lie? Why did we invade Vietnam? Grappling with meaty questions like these (which were among those generated by a class in Plainview, NY) is a real project . . . literally. A question-based approach to teaching tends to shade into learning that is problem- (Delisle, 1997) and project-based (Kilpatrick, 1918; Blumenfeld et al., 1991; Wolk, 1998). Intellectual proficiency is strengthened as students figure out how to do justice to a rich question. As they investigate and come to understand important ideas more fully, new questions arise along with better ways of asking them, and the learning spirals upwards. Guiding students through this process is not a technique that can be stapled onto our existing pedagogy, nor is it something that teachers can be trained to master during an in-service day. What's required is a continual focus on creating a classroom that is about thinking rather

Your World Map is Hiding Something - Metrocosm - 0 views

    "Because the world is a sphere, it is impossible to draw it on a flat surface without distorting it in some way. These distortions are known as map projections, the mathematical rules for how to stretch each point on the Earth's surface onto a 2-dimensional plane."

Teacher Strikes and Private Education in Argentina - #paper - - 0 views

  •  
    "This article analyzes teacher strikes in Argentina during 2006-2012. It stands out how teacher strikes prevail over claims from other unions, and are shown to be relevant events for education policy just for some provinces and only for public schools. We found that none of the policy measures implemented over the last decade has proven to be effective in reducing conflict. Analyzing a dataset on labour unrest, this study builds an index of teacher labour conflict to better understand the evolution of teacher strikes over time and under the various provincial governments that integrate the Argentinian federal education system. The article shows no correlation between teacher labour unrest and the growth of private enrolment. However, we note that despite the lack of statistical correlation, teacher strikes should not be ruled out as an explanatory variable of the increase in private education in Argentina."

China blocks 17.5 million plane tickets for people without enough 'social credit' - 0 views

  •  
    "The Chinese government blocked 17.5 million would-be plane passengers from buying tickets last year as a punishment for offences including the failure to pay fines, it emerged. Some 5.5 million people were also barred from travelling by train under a controversial "social credit" system which the ruling Communist Party claims will improve public behaviour. The penalties are part of efforts by president Xi Jinping's government to use data-processing and other technology to tighten control on society."

Half an Hour: Connectivism as Learning Theory - 2 views

  • Connectivism as Learning Theory
  • Here is their effort to prove that connectivism is a learning theory
  • "Connectivism has a direct impact on education and teaching as it works as a learning theory. Connectivism asserts that learning in the 21st century has changed because of technology, and therefore, the way in which we learn has changed, too.
  • ...40 more annotations...
  • Not too long ago, school was a place where students memorized vocabulary and facts. They sat in desks, read from a textbook, and completed worksheets. Now, memorization is not as prevalent because students can just “Google it” if they need to know something."
  • Though this is not very accurate,
  • What is a Learning Theory
  • theories explain
  • Explaining why learning occurs has two parts:
  • They're not taxonomies, in which a domain of enquiry is split into types, steps or stages
  • Theories answer why-questions
  • They identify underlying causes, influencing factors, and in some cases, laws of nature.
  • first, describing what learning is, and second, describing how it happens
  • The question of how learning occurs is therefore the question of how connections are formed between entities in a network
  • A learning theory, therefore, describes what learning is and explains why learning occurs.
  • What is Learning?
  • According to connectivism, learning is the formation of connections in a network
  • in behaviourism, learning is the creation of a habitual response in particular circumstances
  • in instructivism, learning is the successful transfer of knowledge from one person (typically a teacher) to another person (typically a student)
  • in constructivism, learning is the creation and application of mental models or representations of the world
  • Thomas Kuhn called this the incommensurability of theories.
  • The sort of connections I refer to are between entities (or, more formally, 'nodes'). They are not (for example) conceptual connections in a concept map. A connection is not a logical relation.
  • A connection exists between two entities when a change of state in one entity can cause or result in a change of state in the second entity."
  • How Does Learning Occur?
  • They're not handbooks or best-practices manuals
  • In both cases, these networks 'learn' by automatically adjusting the set of connections between individual neurons or nodes
  • In behaviourism, learning takes place through operant conditioning, where the learner is presented with rewards and consequences
  • In instructivism, the transfer of knowledge takes place through memorization and rote. This is essentially a process of presentation and testing
  • In constructivism, there is no single theory describing how the construction of models and representations happens - the theory is essentially the proposition that, given the right circumstances, construction will occur
  • four major categories of learning theory
  • which describe, specifically and without black boxes, how connections are formed between entities in a network
  • Hebbian rules
  • the principles of quality educational design are based on the properties of networks that effectively respond to, and recognize, phenomena in the environment.
  • Back Propagation
  • Boltzmann
  • what is knowledge a connectivist will talk about the capacity of a network to recognize phenomena based on partial information, a common property of neural networks.
  • Additionally, the question of how we evaluate learning in connectivism is very different.
  • a connectivist model of evaluation involves the recognition of expertise by other participants inside the network
  • Contiguity -
  • autonomy, diversity, openness, and interactivity
  • where learning is
  • the ongoing development of a richer and richer neural tapestry
  • the essential purpose of education and teaching is not to produce some set of core knowledge in a person
  • but rather to create the conditions in which a person can become an accomplished and motivated learner in their own right

Prohibir despierta el deseo.Cómo evitar la palabra NO al dar una norma - 0 views

  •  
    "Prohibir despierta el deseo. Y lo despierta aún más cuando nos referimos a las Normas de un Centro Escolar. Seguramente, palabras como Reglamento de Régimen Interno, Reglamento Orgánico de Centro, Derechos y Deberes de los Alumnos, Normas de Convivencia… forman parte de tu día a día a lo largo de una jornada escolar. Los Centros Educativos están repletos de Normas que toda la Comunidad Educativa debe acatar para su buen funcionamiento. Pues bien, hay varias formas de afrontar estas Normas que hoy me gustaría compartir contigo. Se trata de una actividad que puedes realizar con los alumnos a lo largo del curso en cualquiera de tus clases o, preferiblemente, durante una sesión de Tutoría. Es muy probable que el Plan de Actuación Tutorial de tu centro recoja en su programación la información sobre las Normas que deben cumplirse en un centro. De hecho, si echas un vistazo al Reglamento, podrás extraer de él una cantidad considerable de Normas que tanto alumnos como el resto de miembros de la Comunidad Educativa deben cumplir. Personalmente soy partidario de dar a los alumnos un mínimo de Normas durante el curso, por ejemplo, un máximo de cinco. He comprobado que es mucho más efectivo dar pocas normas, pero que estas se cumplan a rajatabla a lo largo del curso. Pues es a partir de estas cinco Normas que te propongo la siguiente Actividad de Tutoría. Se trata de elegir entre todos cuáles son las cinco Normas que deberían cumplirse por encima de cualquier otra. Haz que sean tus alumnos los que elijan estas normas y comprobarás como la gran mayoría de estas llevan consigo la palabra NO. Pues bien, de lo que se trata es de conseguir, con tu ayuda y orientación, eliminar la palabra NO manteniendo el sentido de la Norma. Si lo consigues, el resultado es un tipo de norma mucho más amable que se traduce en un mayor cumplimiento de la misma por parte del alumnado. Con la eliminación de la palabra NO la Norma parece que en lugar de una prohibici
