The Sham of "Best Practices" « Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Pr... - 1 views

  •  
    Excellent article. If I hear "the research shows" one more time I'm going to hit the roof. If the research was valid we wouldn't be changing course every two or three years. "Best practice" is usually an attempt by a superintendent, principal, or school board to put a feather in their cap by doing something new and "cutting edge."

Art for our sake - The Boston Globe - 2 views

  • we found that arts programs teach a specific set of thinking skills rarely addressed elsewhere in the curriculum - and that far from being irrelevant in a test-driven education system, arts education is becoming even more important as standardized tests like the MCAS exert a narrowing influence over what schools teach.

The Knowledge in Knowledge Management (KM) - 0 views

  • if "knowledge management" is to have any meaning and any credence at all, we must say what we mean by knowledge – in all its variations and permutations – and we must do so in ways that are as free of conflict and overlap as we can make them. Otherwise, we run the distinct risk of appearing to not know what we are talking about.
  • Tacit to tacit. Acquiring someone else’s tacit knowledge through observation, imitation and practice. The example Nonaka uses is that of a product developer, Ikuro Tanaka, who apprentices herself to a hotel chef famous for the quality of his bread. She learns how to make bread his way, including an unusual kneading technique.
  • Explicit to tacit. Internalizing explicit knowledge. HereHere, Nonaka indicates that the product development team acquired new tacit knowledge; specifically, they came to understand in an intuitive way, that products like the home bread-making machine can provide quality, that is, they can produce bread as good as that made by a professional baker. That Nonaka (or anyone else) knows of this suggests that whatever knowledge was acquired has been made explicit and that means it might have been implicit knowledge at one point but was never truly tacit knowledge because that cannot be articulated.

  • Developing Procedural Knowledge We are talking here of skill development, specifically, the acquisition of explicit, declarative knowledge as the basis for skill development. Often this works as follows: We are presented with a description of a way to perform a task. We practice it, perhaps haltingly at first but our proficiency improves with continued practice and it benefits from feedback. Finally, we reach the point at which our ability to perform the task is automatic, we no longer have to think about it. Over time, we might even forget the original task descriptions that enabled enabled our early attempts to perform the task.
