学习

教学学生们不理化地思考

教学学生们不理化地思考

正式学习的愚蠢是谦卑的事情。

As planners, designers, executors, and general caretakers of public and private education systems, we are tasked with the insurmountable: overcome a child’s natural tendency to play, rebel, and self-direct in hopes of providing them with a ‘good education.’ Reading, writing, arithmetic, etc.

这不是错的。几乎任何措施都很好。我们的意图是高尚的,我们的努力非凡,肯定是许多孩子的学习,特别是来自弱势的情况,比他们可能已经更好。

但是,正式的学习过程也是一个不幸的较暗方面 - 特别是当你在一个学校中的800人和32课程中的32课程和教师责任的时候。“

This is a side that can be more concerned with that accountability than anything else–and that means students accountable to teachers, teachers accountable to principals, principals accountable to superintendents, superintendents accountable to state government agencies, and everyone accountable to many measures of ‘motivation’ and/or punitive action.

The net result can be a learning climate where spontaneity, curiosity, and learner self-direction are secondary to just the right “‘research-based’ literacy strategy to ‘move kids to proficiency’–and a crucial loss of ‘childlishness’of learning.

It’s within this context that I watched the following video by Adora Svitak, who eloquently (please tell me this child was coached, or else I am going to wish she was also more ‘childish’ herself) discusses the role of ‘immaturity’ in great accomplishments. Regarding ‘childish’ behavior and ‘immaturity,’ she explains:

“那么,谁说,谁说某些类型的非理性思维并不是世界需求的确?也许你之前有过大计划,但阻止自己,思考,“这是不可能的,”或者“这是太多的成本”,“或者”,“或者”,“或者”,“或者”这不会让我受益。“

“无论好坏,我们的孩子们在思考原因时没有受到妨碍,为什么不做事情。孩子们可以充满鼓舞人心的愿望和充满希望的思维。就像我希望没有人饿了,或者一切都是自由的乌托邦。你们中有多少仍然像那样梦想,相信可能性?有时对乌托邦理想的历史和过去失败的知识可能是一个负担,因为你知道如果一切都是免费的,那么食物股会耗尽和稀缺,导致混乱。另一方面,我们仍然梦想完美。

“这是一件好事,因为为了制造任何现实,你必须先梦想它。”

很容易把这个论点进一步迈进,并且如果能够在学习中真正失去自己,并且完全沉浸在内容和社区中,那么就会像什么样的教育一样。标准?美好的。评估?细腻但标准化评估而不规范学习。

如果学习就像孩子一样:非理性,运动,爱上发现?
