  • critical thinking is extremely important
  • Critical thinking is the catalyst for change.

British universities need urgent reform - 1 views

  • British universities are undergoing an identity crisis
  • They no longer relate comfortably to schools, parents, students, would-be students, the examination system, the education marketplace, the British government – or each other.
  • As we report today, as many as one in five universities is staging its own entrance exam because it no longer trusts the state's A-levels to distinguish between averagely bright and very bright pupils: teenagers from both these groups routinely arrive on their doorsteps with grades worthy of a Nobel prize winner.

  • Clearly, they are here to stay – unless the Government summons up the nerve to reform education far more radically than it is already doing.
  • Tuition fees reflect fast-changing circumstances that will force good universities to raise the academic as well as the financial bar in order to compete internationally. As they do so, they will increasingly question the arguments for remaining shackled to a British state that not only genuflects in front of the altar of egalitarianism (albeit a bit less piously than before) but also, as we are reminded again today, cannot even devise a proper set of exams for sixth-formers.

    Telegraph View: British universities no longer know exactly what they are and what they are for. - British universities are undergoing an identity crisis. They no longer know exactly what they are and what they are for, now that social engineering has stretched the definition of "university" to breaking point. They no longer relate comfortably to schools, parents, students, would-be students, the examination system, the education marketplace, the British government - or each other. Every week brings fresh evidence of the weakening of these bonds, even in the middle of the Christmas holidays. - As we report today, as many as one in five universities is staging its own entrance exam because it no longer trusts the state's A-levels to distinguish between averagely bright and very bright pupils: teenagers from both these groups routinely arrive on their doorsteps with grades worthy of a Nobel prize winner...

  • You can’t make any sweeping generalizations based on the results
  • older students tend to cheat less frequently than younger students
  • If you are interested in this topic, look for the interesting edited book called Student Plagiarism in an Online World: http://www.igi-global.com/reference/details.asp?ID=7031&v=tableOfContentsI wrote a chapter called, "Expect Originality! Using Taxonomies to Structure Assignments that Support Original Work." In it I discuss the complexities of plagiarism in the context of a digital culture of sharing and suggest that it is rarely black and white. I propose a continuum with intentional academic dishonesty on one end and original work on the other, with gradations in between. Based on my own research and teaching experience, I believe the instructional design and style of teaching can either make it easy-- or very difficult-- to cheat.

  • what school requires students to do -- think abstractly -- is in fact not something our brains are designed to be good at or to enjoy
  • it is critical that the task be just difficult enough to hold our interest but not so difficult that we give up in frustration. When this balance is struck, it is actually pleasurable to focus the mind for long periods of time
  • Students are ready to understand knowledge but not create it. For most, that is enough. Attempting a great leap forward is likely to fail.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • students cannot apply generic "critical thinking skills" (another voguish concept) to new material unless they first understand that material
  • Trying to use "reading strategies" -- like searching for the main idea in a passage -- will be futile if you don't know enough facts to fill in what the author has left unsaid.
  • what is being taught in most of the curriculum -- at all levels of schooling -- is information about meaning, and meaning is independent of form
  • At some point, no amount of dancing will help you learn more algebra

      But if you learn dancing AND algebra, you may be better at both, or at least approach each in a more interesting way.
