  • Everyone is opposed to making educators implement lousy ideas
  • quality of an idea doesn’t justify an attempt to shove it down people’s throats.

  • Many of us have been appalled by the behaviorist, corporate-styled policies known collectively as “school reform.
  • hose writings, in fact, eloquently explain the importance of having students construct ideas
  • Good teaching can't be imposed from above because it "doesn't rest on specific practices but on how well the educator actively thinks through hundreds of decisions that no program can script
  • In the end, policy makers and consultants cannot change what goes on in classrooms
  • All they can do is invite teachers to change what they do in classrooms.
  • They’re still orders.
  • “What do you need?  How can we help?”
  • Your job then is to be a buffer, protecting those who report to you from its worst effects rather than robotically implementing and enforcing what doesn’t make sense. 
  • It’s not just about “getting buy-in” for your pet idea
  • because the focus is on strategies for deflecting resistance.
  • respectful and collaborative,
  • something closer to democratic decision-making from the beginning.
  • “People don’t resist change.  They resist being changed.”

  • perhaps it is the inevitable result of focusing on knowledge instead of performance (which is inherently more engaging). Forgetfulness is constant: students rarely recall what was taught a few weeks ago. How can content move from short-term to long-term memory if there is always more content to memorize tomorrow? And test results reveal over and over that few students can transfer learning to new challenges and overcome basic misconceptions.

  • “The purpose of a statement of objectives is to indicate the kinds of changes in the student to be brought about so that the instructional activities can be planned and developed in a way likely to attain these objectives; that is to bring about these changes in students. Hence it is clear that a statement of objectives in terms of content headings…is not a satisfactory basis for guiding the further development of the curriculum. The most useful form for stating objectives is to express them in terms which identify both the kind of behavior to be developed in the student and the … area of life which this behavior is to operate.” pp. 45-7.

      fostering autonomous and self regulated learners: when an instructor does for learners what learners should do for themsleves the learning experience is incomplete. developing capacity for learning and the mindsets needed to be successful learners is a central attribute. We are not only concerend with the epistemological development of learners (knowing stuff) - we traget ontological development (being a certain type of person) as well.

      in heutology the instructor facilitates the learning process by providing guidance and resources, but fully relinquishes ownership of the learning path and process to the learner, who negotiates learning and determines what will be learned and how it will be learned

    Some very interesting terms, definitions and thought provoking discussions for us to think about. Is 3.0 the aim of RCHK Tech Vision 2014?
  • Johnny Hogan on 20 May 13
     
    Interesting, however, a number of the key "differences" shown in the table seem a bit contrived. The description of 1.0, and moreso 2.0, seem to be intentionally antiquated and negative. In reality, education is of course changing, thankfully, regardless of what type of numerical moniker is assigned.
