De bijhorende video is een pleidooi voor het beroep van leerkracht te bekijken als designer en om niet enkel te kijken naar wat werkt, maar wat misschien kan werken (risico’s durven nemen). Maar […]

Questioning Gagné and Bloom’s Relevance

This post by Christy Tucker, reblogged here, points out some of the problems I have also had with Bloom’s taxonomy and similar recipes (e.g., Gagné’s). We cannot blame good old Bloom for the abuse of his model, but it’s good to see someone emphasizing the lack of research support behind his theory. It’s fine, I […]

“Yes, iPad Apps Can Help Your Child Learn To Read”, but was this the correct question anyway?

Deze post verscheen op mijn Engelstalige blog, maar lijkt me hier ook interessant. From experience to meaning… I read a piece on FastCoLabs on research conducted by Susan B. Neuman on the effect of children working with the Learn With Homer-app. The controle group worked with another app that was on music and math. As the article describes: […]

John Hattie admits that half of the Statistics in Visible Learning are wrong

Originally posted on ollieorange2:
At the researchED conference in September 2013, Professor Robert Coe, Professor of Education at Durham University, said that John Hattie’s book, ‘Visible Learning’,  is “riddled with errors”.

Desiderius Erasmus – On a liberal education for children

Sometimes, the Butterfly Defect (Gavriel Solomon) leads to something relevant and interesting. Here an excerpt from De pueris instituendis [On a liberal education for children], written by Desiderius Erasmus in Italy and published in 1529 which I accidentally came across. It is a clear statement of Erasmus’ enormous faith in the power of education, and […]

Inquiry

This post by Australian physics and maths teacher Harry Webb on his blog Webs of Substance is a critical discussion of inquiry or discovery learning. Unlike the author, who has an axe to grind with constructivist education theories, I happen to be much in favour of discovery learning. This does not mean that I propose […]
