11 åtgärder för djupare kunskapsbildning i en-till-en | Fleischer Kompetensutveckling ::: blogg En dator per elev och lärare (en-till-en) ger löften om högre motivation och bättre resultat för eleverna. Ändå visar forskning att så inte är fallet (Fleischer 2013: Fleischer 2012; Penuel 2006; Grönlund, 2011). Personligen ser jag en-till-en som en helt nödvändig skolutveckling. En betydande del i ungdomarnas skolarbete med en-till-en dator består i att producera presentationsmaterial och/eller skriva worddokument (Fleischer 2013; Warschauer 2006). För det andra är jag kritisk till att omdefiniera lärandet som jag skrivit om tidigare. Mitt tredje antagande för att lyckas bättre med en-till-en handlar om att minska mängden uppgifter av karaktären söka info och hämta svar på nätet. Den fjärde utvecklingslinjen jag ser har med källvärdering att göra. Den femte utvecklingen som behöver ske är att eleverna inte bör kontextualisera sin kunskapsinhämtning efter hand. Den sjätte invändningen har med den performativitet skolarbetet av idag bygger på. Referenser Fleischer, H. (2011).
Hackschooling Jason, what's with the John Lennon quote? It's a great quote, but unless someone has explicitly told you otherwise, it has nothing to do with Logan any more than it has to do with your story above; which might be fine less the need to somehow single out your obsession with John Lennon (who's great but your making big reaches; not a good sign). It's not really necessary to try and make a great link in the specific way you have, between a good historical quote and some necessity by Logan to somehow tell the audience; "Hey, everything I've done is from John Lennon." If you read-up, Logan re-wrote his entire talk he had worked on for some 60 days, just prior to this TEDx event because he wasn't quite happy with it and asked others for advice. Finally, I have to address this privilege thing you refer to.
How Transparency Can Transform School Culture Getty To meet the challenges of teaching in an increasingly connected world, school leaders, educators and community members could benefit from building a culture of transparency and connectivity, creating a culture of sharing around the successes and struggles of teaching and learning. Creating a transparent school starts with a school’s leadership. “Leadership has to buy into the value of connectivity,” said Dr. Joe Mazza, director of connected teaching, learning and leadership at North Penn School District and a former elementary school principal in an edWeb webinar. Many educators have found connecting through social media and other online platforms is valuable for sharing resources and inspire one another. Starting with a foundation of openness to learning new ideas and encouraging innovation among teachers is also important because social media often amplifies whatever school culture already exists. Mazza will even print out relevant Twitter chats — yes, print! Related
A story of education before technology | Pearson Blog I don’t feel I was at school too long ago. I finished in 1997, after sixth-form. But this week I was reminded that people born in 1997 are now legally adults. As I was leaving school, they were entering the world. Then after wondering how I had changed, I began to ponder how education in my lifetime has changed; which is largely the pondering of the impact of technology. While at school (in the UK) I did have access to a computer suite – a room full of BBC computers where we were able to attempt some word processing and basic programming. Off to university in 1997, and surely this would be the step change. But what was this I heard – final dissertations had to be submitted ‘online’. I hope it’s not from a naivety of relative affluence that I presume most new college goers won’t start their studies struggling, like I did, to buy a computer. That today’s students take their technology for granted is a very, very good thing indeed for education.
Why Education Is The Most Important Revolution Of Our Time : NPR Ed hide captionEverything I needed to know about learning, I learned in preschool? John W. Poole/NPR Everything I needed to know about learning, I learned in preschool? Learning is something people, like other animals, do whenever our eyes are open. By some accounts, education is a $7 trillion global industry ripe for disruption. No matter what you think you know about education, what's clear right now is that the old blueprints are out the window. Education has to become something more than regurgitating the past. That's what we'll be exploring at NPR Ed. The stakes are high, and so are our ambitions. So NPR Ed is not just for wonks. What Can You Expect? We're inspired by teachers like Nikki Jones, who leads a preschool class in Tulsa, Okla. If we're doing our job, reading this blog should take you back to being 4 years old again, in the best way possible. Who Are We? To do all this, we'll need your help.
How Engaged Are Students and Teachers in American Schools? By Anya Kamenetz, Hechinger Report Gallup recently released a major report on the State of American Schools. Their data paints a picture of schools performing as a complex ecosystem, with the wellbeing, engagement, and performance of teachers, students, and principals all intertwined. The report combines decades of surveys of 5 million American teachers and principals with the results of the Gallup Student Poll, now billed as the largest survey of American students with 600,000 5th through 12 grade participants, and several large follow-up studies. “The real bummer is [teachers] don’t feel their opinions matter.” The Gallup polls ask students, teachers, principals, and other professionals about their levels of hope, emotional engagement, and well-being at work or school. Brandon Busteed, the executive director of Gallup Education, says that in some ways, the point Gallup is making with this line of research is even more “provocative.” So how are we doing on these soft measures?

4. Organisera för entreprenöriellt lärande | Christian Jerhov Om en skola ska kunna ta steg mot att utveckla det entreprenöriella lärandet enligt kapitel 3 – ”Den entreprenöriella undervisningen” behövs en organisation som stödjer detta arbete. En organisation som skapar så goda förutsättningar för entreprenöriell undervisning som möjligt. ”Verkligheten är verkligheten”, så det perfekta tillståndet kanske aldrig inträffar. Men, så långt det är möjligt; organisera för entreprenöriellt lärande. Nedan beskriver jag fyra, mer eller mindre inbördes beroende, grundfundament i en inre organisation skapad för att stödja en entreprenöriell undervisning. Arbetslag Ett arbetslag är en grupp lärare som har ett gemensamt ansvar för en avgränsad grupp elever. Hur många lärare och hur många elever är då lagom för ett arbetslag? I arbetslaget ska också så många som möjligt av de ämneskompetenser som krävs för den aktuella skolformen eller stadiet finnas. För detta krävs tid. Lokalerna Arbetslagen behöver förfoga över egna lokaler, där inga andra elever är. Schemat
Don't Go Back to School: How to Fuel the Internal Engine of Lifelong Learning by Maria Popova “When you step away from the prepackaged structure of traditional education, you’ll discover that there are many more ways to learn outside school than within.” “The present education system is the trampling of the herd,” legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright lamented in 1956. Half a century later, I started Brain Pickings in large part out of frustration and disappointment with my trampling experience of our culturally fetishized “Ivy League education.” I found myself intellectually and creatively unstimulated by the industrialized model of the large lecture hall, the PowerPoint presentations, the standardized tests assessing my rote memorization of facts rather than my ability to transmute that factual knowledge into a pattern-recognition mechanism that connects different disciplines to cultivate wisdom about how the world works and a moral lens on how it should work. People who forgo school build their own infrastructures. I learned how to teach myself.
Olle Holmberg: Om flum Vad är flum egentligen? Jag tänker försöka göra några enkla bestämningar och ett radikalt perspektivbyte mot slutet. När jag var ung var det flummigt att befinna sig i ett tillstånd där man var påverkad av hasch. Det gav en upplevelse av eufori och samhörighet men också av oklar och svävande verklighet. De som var flummiga hade långt hår och gillade världsfreden och den allomfattande kärleken. Betydelsen av begreppet flum är dock undflyende. Ändå kan man se grova mönster. Flum handlar om mjuka värden, inte sällan om sådant som psykologer anses stå för. ”Ta bort alla flummande psykologer, psykiatriker och andra psykopater ur rättsväsendet och ge de kriminella STRAFF”, sägs i ett inlägg, som för ovanlighetens skull inte handlar om skola. Men närmare ett innehåll måste man kunna komma! Ordlistor och uppslagsböcker ger kortfattade försök till preciseringar. Men särskilt klart blir det inte: Vad är ”fasta kunskaper” och vad är motsatsen? Sanningen Tolkning Likvärdighet Jämförbarhet Fakta
David Foster Wallace's timeless graduation speech on the meaning of life, adapted in a short film" by Maria Popova “The real value of a real education … has almost nothing to do with knowledge and everything to do with simple awareness.” On May 21, 2005, David Foster Wallace got up before the graduating class of Kenyon college and delivered one of history’s most memorable commencement addresses. It wasn’t until Wallace’s death in 2008 that the speech took on a life of its own under the title This Is Water, and was even adapted into a short book. UPDATE: The David Foster Wallace Literary Trust exemplifies everything that’s wrong with copyright law. The most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about. Hear the full speech in its sublime entirety, along with transcript and highlights, here, then wash it down with Wallace on ambition and why writers write.

”Jag ber om ursäkt för 90-talets pedagogiska idéer” Terminsstarten har i år solkats av dystra rapporter om den svenska skolans lärarbrist. Utbildade lärare söker sig bort från yrket och allt för få väljer att utbilda sig till lärare. Rektorer letar med ljus och lykta efter någon som är villig att ta sig an ett klassrum. Situationen är mycket oroande. Inom några år kommer det att saknas tusentals behöriga lärare i den svenska skolan. Vad som helt förbises i debatten är hur de senaste tjugo årens skolreformer (såsom kommunalisering, målstyrning, organisation i arbetslag, F-9 skolor, friskolornas etablering, det fria skolvalet etcetera) även i grunden förändrat berättelsen om vem den goda läraren är. Såväl skoldebattörer, pedagogikforskare, tjänstemän, fackförbund, lärarutbildare och politiker förde en argumentation om den goda skolan som underminerade den befintliga lärarkåren. Lärare som inte anammade det pedagogiska nytänkandet sades ha en problematisk kunskapssyn, förespråka kadaverdisciplin och njuta av att sätta låga betyg.
Transforming The Teacher: From Speaker To Digital Guide - eLearning Industry Transforming the teacher seems easy to understand at first, but how can it be put into practice on a day to day basis? Let’s go and see: 2 Important Steps That Need Be Taken By Teachers The first step for a teacher who wants to transform the dynamics and teaching methodology in the classroom is to ask the obvious: What are the learning objectives of the course? When defining these learning objectives, you should not only focus on what knowledge or what content the student should know. Therefore, the question to be solved is: What skills, abilities, and talents can my student develop through the contents of the subject? A second very important issue is to know your students. However, there is a lot of useful information for the teacher (such as the previous level of knowledge, learning styles, or multiple intelligence map of each student) that will undoubtedly greatly facilitate their work in developing a curriculum adapted to the needs of their students.
