Shawn Achor op TED: ‘The Happiness Advantage’ | www.lerendoorwaarderen.nl Even goed ervoor gaan zitten… want deze TEDtalk gaat ongelooflijk snel, maar wat Shawn Achor te vertellen heeft is de moeite waard. Hij neemt je in een mix van anekdotes uit zijn eigen leven en onderzoeksresultaten mee langs wetenschappelijk onderzoek (en de neiging om naar ‘het gemiddelde’ te kijken ipv de outliers), de kerngedachte van positieve psychologie (‘kijk juist wel naar de outliers om daarvan te leren’) en houdt dan een pleidooi voor het omkeren van de ‘Happiness Formula’. Die zeker in de VS wijdverbreid is, maar ook wel in onze cultuur genesteld. Happiness Formula Die basisaanname over geluk is – impliciet of expliciet – : ‘als ik harder werk, word ik succesvol/bereik ik mijn doelen en dan ben ik gelukkig’. Door succes als voorwaarde te zien fop je je brein, legt Achor uit: dat stelt immers steeds weer nieuwe doelen als het eerdere doel bereikt is. Draai het om Kijken en lezen? Zo scherp en levendig als Achor het vertelt kan ik het hier niet navertellen.
Schuld van de ouders? Judith Rich Harris Judith Rich Harris - "The Nurture Assumption" Verbanden Enige tijd geleden werd bij een onderzoek naar kinderen met de diagnose ADHD een verband gevonden tussen het feit dat zij waren opgenomen in een dagcentrum en het feit dat zij uit probleemgezinnen afkomstig waren. Het viel me op dat dit verband in de media met veel bombarie gebracht werd als een oorzakelijk verband, terwijl het dat natuurlijk helemaal niet hoeft te zijn! Overal hoorde je opeens ‘probleemgezin veroorzaakt ADHD bij het kind!’; ‘slecht ouderschap leidt ertoe dat kind opgenomen moet worden in een dagcentrum!’. In een bepaalde periode werden er in een land veel meer ooievaars gezien dan in de jaren ervoor en erna. Het is dus bepaald onwetenschappelijk, en zelfs wel dom, om in ieder verband een oorzakelijk verband te zien. top Judith Rich Harris In 1998 is er een boek uitgekomen van Judith Rich Harris, gebaseerd op enkele wetenschappelijke publicaties van haar: ‘The nurture assumption’.

Foucault and His Panopticon - power, knowledge, Jeremy Bentham, surveillance, smart mobs, protests, cooperation, philosopher Michel Foucault Above all else, Michel Foucault believed in the freedom of people. He also realized that as individuals, we react to situations in different ways. His used his books as a vehicle to show the various factors that interact and collide in his analyzation of change and its effects. Along with other social theorists, Foucault believed that knowledge is always a form of power, but he took it a step further and told us that knowledge can be gained from power; producing it, not preventing it. Knowledge linked to power, not only assumes the authority of 'the truth' but has the power to make itself true. For him, power exists everywhere and comes from everywhere; it was a key concept because it acts as a type of relation between people, a complex form of strategy, with the ability to secretly shape another's behaviour. Foucault's Panopticon When only certain people or groups of people control knowledge, oppression is a possibility. Related Papers Jeremy Bentham and Rhetoric

Andy Hargreaves Dean Shareski started it! (And that's a good thing.) In his post It’s Not Really PD, Dean says about the (mis)use of the term 'Professional Development' ('PD') to describe an event: “I guess we butcher our language all the time. Using the word “awesome” to describe a great sandwich as well as the beauty of a sunset. Or the word “love” to talk about our favorite app and the relationship we have with family. I love how Andy Hargreaves always makes me think! George Siemens wrote the Duplication theory of educational value about higher education, but I am going to share a quote from this with a couple adaptations for K-12 public education: “Let me posit a duplication theory of education value: if something can be duplicated with limited costs, it can’t serve as a value point for [public education]. “This creativity aspect is very important because in Finland we believe that risk-taking, creativity and innovation are very, very important for a society like ours.

hetkind Andy Hargreaves, sociologists and professor of education sciences at the Boston College in Massachusetts (US) is among the most prominent authors and participants of the public debate on the future of education. This February he spoke with Luc Stevens at the ‘every child is a promise’ conference in The Haque (The Netherlands). Watch this video (05.24) to find out what Andy Hargreaves said about the Pisa-ranking, the status of a teacher and the value society attaches to education: “if we challenge teachers, give them freedom and responsibilities, we will be able to keep the best people working for education. If we fail to do so, they will leave for jobs in the commercial sector or elsewhere, where they do have the opportunities to develop themselves”. Klik hier voor de Nederlandse versie. Would you like to see more? Luc Stevens and Andy Hargreaves talked about the ‘third and fourth ways’: pathways of innovation in education and what they brought.

Allan's Blog Fourni par Traduction DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION: V4 published Mar 2015. This PDF Poster has links to 122 of the latest and most popular educational apps. Now these resources are available in 19 different languages. The poster also has app selection criteria according to Blooms taxonomy. V4.0 was published in March 2015 but I knew I was onto something useful when I first put the Padagogy Wheel together in July 2012. So why the need for Version 2.0? We need to have transformation at the core of what we do: If it is all about the students, where do you start with curriculum and/or teaching design – surely it is with what do you want your graduates to look like? Technology integration into the fabric of learning and teaching: is where we should be heading with all we do as teachers. Finally, can you help with V3.0?
