The Innovative Educator: Children can educate themselves without the control of adults - 7 views

  • The Sudbury Valley School has, for the past forty years, been the best-kept secret in American education.
  • Professors of education ignore it, not out of malice but because they cannot absorb it into their framework of educational thought.
  • Adults do not control children's education; children educate themselves.

      Tässä mennään kyllä todella lähelle näkymättömän oppimisen ideoita.

  • today's approach to education will be seen by many if not most educators as a barbaric remnant of the past.

      Niin minäkin ennustan ;-)
  • Children educate themselves; we don't have to do it for them.

      Opettajan tärkein tehtävä on tehdä itsensä tarpeettomaksi... Tässä se onnistuu jo ennen opettamisen aloittamista...
  • As the student voters outnumber the staff by a factor of 20 to 1, the staff who survive this process and are re-elected year after year are those who are admired by the students.

      Tämä on kyllä todella kova juttu... Oppilaat pääsevät päättämään, ketkä tekevät heidän kanssaan töitä.
  • Students are free, all day, every day, to do what they wish at the school

      Aivan näkymättömän oppimisen sekä autotelisen oppijan ideaalien mukaista!
  • The school gives no tests

      Kokeeton koulu... tästä olen haaveillut...
  • There is no curriculum and no attempt to motivate students to learn

      Ei opetussuunnitelmaa, jonka mukaan edetään... Tulevaisuuden koulu?
  • The staff members at the school do not consider themselves to be teachers. They are, instead, adult members of the community who provide a wide variety of services, including some teaching. Most of their "teaching" is of the same variety as can be found in any human setting; it involves answering sincere questions and presenting ideas in the context of real conversations.

      Tulevaisuuden "opettajat"?

    Mitenkäs Sudbury eroaa Summerhillista http://www.summerhillschool.co.uk/ ?

    Totta, Pekka! Olin kokonaan unohtanut vanhan kunnon Summerhillin. Oletko muuten koskaan vieraillut itse siellä? Minä en, mutta yksi ystäväni on. Tässä olisi ainesta syvempäänkin tutkimiseen...
  •  
    No en, mutta vois olla hauska. Otavan opiston jengi on kaiketi työstänyt jossain vaiheessa demokraattinen koulu -liikettä?
  •  
    http://sometu.ning.com/events/n-kym-t-n-oppiminen-jatko-webinaari :ssa aion puhua vähän asiaan liittyen. Ekassa osassa oli enemmän perusasioita ja nyt mennään ehkä vähän syvemmälle, ja teen enemmän omia johtopäätelmiäni. Koskee aika paljon tätäkin juttua :-)

The Wisdom of Motivated Crowds | FLOSSE Posse - 0 views

  • People who work on Wikipedia … are not the indiscriminate crowd [but] are the part of the crowd who feels motivated to work with Wikipedia. Here it is: I’d replace the theory of the “wisdom of the crowd” with the theory of the “wisdom of the motivated crowds.” The general crowd says we should not pay taxes; the motivated crowd says that it’s fair to pay them. In fact, it’s not the ditch diggers or illiterates who contribute to Wikipedia, but people who already belong to a cultural crowd for the very fact they’re using a computer.”

      Umberto Eco -sitaatti
  • I have been sceptical about the idea of massive open online course (MOOC). I have a theory: many courses (not only the MOOCs) are not motivating because they do not pay enough attention to the participant’s desires.
  • In a good course students should have the opportunity to practice leadership, gain knowledge, and be autonomous. Students should be provided ways to get social attention and opportunities to play and compete with each other. But this is not enough.

  • Maybe the idea of school children gymnastics and the Bauhaus’ practice to began lessons with exercises is not that bad idea (I have tried the morning exercises, stretching, yoga, etc. in my lessons).
