WHAT MATTERS NOW
6. “My argument is not with educational research
but with the imperative of evidence-based
education policy. At its best, educational
research can provide important
insights into the relationship
between various social and cultural
variables and pedagogic outcomes.”
Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.
7. But the principal problem educators face today is not the dearth of
educational research or a lack of evidence about ‘what works’, but
the increasing absence of any
opportunity for them to exercise
professional judgment and to learn the value of
rather
what Aristotle call phronesis – the virtue of judgment.
Experimentation in education should
be part of a teacher’s everyday life.
Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.

the answer to everything and they forget that
people can be a really great resource.”
47. Research suggests over and over again that people
are
using mobile devices and social media to
connect more with others, even face to face. The
technologies of isolation and loneliness were the automobile
and the television, and even though we’re starting to see a
reversal of the long term rise in social isolation , there
continues to be cultural insecurity around
loneliness. Which is understandable, but misplacing
our worries on one of the few trends that is
pushing back against isolation isn’t helpful.

81. Tell that to Chris Avenir
Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for
the case against him.
1.Learning should be hard.
2.There is no structure of regulation
for online behavior and that makes it
incompatible with academic work.
3.It is our job to protect academic
integrity from any threat.
i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by certified
persons, it’s not valid.
