Why
Discovery Learning Doesn’t Work
New paper from the great
Richard Clark of USC, as well as Kirschner and Sweller.
Official, provocative title "Why
Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis
of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based,
Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching"
Self
Directed Learning in Digital Age
This
massive report from Australian government. Executive
summary is manageable. Interesting content, including
this powerful and whacky opening quote written in 1938:
You
may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie
awake at night listening to the disorder in your veins,
you may miss your only love and lose your monies to a monster,
you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics,
or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.
There is only one thing for it, then—to learn.
Goal
Setting and Online Learning
I view goal setting
as the #1 factor in success in anything and have been a
wonk on goal research for awhile. "Goal
Setting in Online Courses" is a good overview to
the big thinkers and research and good links for more info.
New
site TeachersPayTeachers.com
Designed
to be an eBay for K-12 curriculum plans and teaching materials.
Members upload materials and set their own price. Why don't
we do the same for corporate trainers? Got an activity to
share/sell? Link.
