badges rewards education motivation

shared by Sean McHugh on 22 May 14 - No Cached
  • The most motivating factors are getting genuinely better at something, and getting recognised by those around us. Mastery and relationships motivate most.
  • we’re bribing students into compliance instead of challenging them into mastery
  • Tangible rewards substantially undermine intrinsic motivation,
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Do rewards motivate people? Absolutely. They motivate people to get rewards. When people use rewards to motivate, that’s when they’re demotivating.
  • once an activity is associated with an external reward, people are less inclined to participate in the activity without a reward present.
  • We want pupils to develop their intrinsic motivation.

    Because tests don't require connection and collaboration, classroom education is being driven in one direction, while technology enables creation, curation, and connection.

The truth about Finland's education miracle » Spectator Blogs - 0 views

finland education curriculum

shared by Sean McHugh on 01 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • The Finnish fan club rarely talks about its mathematics performance in TIMSS, an international survey focusing more on curriculum-based knowledge – which plummeted over the last decade.
  • Others questioned whether it represents a victory at all since important knowledge had been sacrificed along the way.
  • while Finland scores well on PISA, this particular league table is designed to test everyday rather than curriculum-based knowledge. This means that it lacks key concepts of importance for further studies in mathematically intensive subjects, such as engineering, computer science, and economics. This is an obvious defect: such subjects are likely to be crucial for developed countries’ future economic well-being.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • So Finland might not be so great after all, partly because its centralised curriculum has ignored certain concepts that are not tested in PISA.
  • choice is extensive

    This is a 10-15 hr online course that introduces essential concepts of understanding data, organizing and displaying it using Fusion Tables. This would be good for students who are undertaking survey research or other data collection activities.
