Sara Wilkie"In their book, Turning Learning Right Side Up: Putting Education Back on Track, authors Russell L. Ackoff and Daniel Greenberg point out that today's education system is seriously flawed -- it focuses on teaching rather than learning. "Why should children -- or adults -- be asked to do something computers and related equipment can do much better than they can?" the authors ask in the following excerpt from the book.

We learn a great deal on our own, in independent study or play. We learn a great deal interacting with others informally -- sharing what we are learning with others and vice versa.

djplaner"This involves an intense effort on the part of the explainer to get into the other person's mind, so to speak, and that exercise is at the heart of learning in general. For, by practicing repeatedly how to create links between my mind and another's, I am reaching the very core of the art of learning from the ambient culture. "

The objective of education is learning, not teaching.
-
One aspect of explaining something is getting yourself up to snuff on whatever it is that you are trying to explain.
-
This is one sense in which the one who explains learns the most, because the person to whom the explanation is made can afford to forget the explanation promptly in most cases; but the explainers will find it sticking in their minds a lot longer, because they struggled to gain an understanding in the first place in a form clear enough to explain.
-
To satisfy the person being addressed, to the point where that person can nod his head and say, "Ah, yes, now I understand!"
-
explainers must not only get the matter to fit comfortably into their own worldview, into their own personal frame of reference for understanding the world around them, they also have to figure out how to link their frame of reference to the worldview of the person receiving the explanation, so that the explanation can make sense to that person, too.

Younger kids are always seeking answers from older kids
-
The older kids love it, and their abilities are exercised mightily in these interactions. They have to figure out what it is that they understand about the question being raised, and they have to figure out how to make their understanding comprehensible to the younger kids.
-
this is why it is so important to keep communities multi-aged, and why it is so destructive to learning, and to the development of culture in general, to segregate certain ages (children, old people) from others.

When did you last teach a course in a subject that existed when you were a student?"
This difficult question required some thought. After a pause, I said, "September of 1951."
"Wow! You mean to say that everything you have taught in more than 50 years was not taught to you; you had to learn on your own?"
"Right."
"You must be a pretty good learner."
I modestly agreed.
-
The student then said, "What a shame you're not that good a teacher."
The student had it right; what most faculty members are good at, if anything, is learning rather than teaching. Recall that in the one-room schoolhouse, students taught students. The teacher served as a guide and a resource but not as one who force-fed content into students' minds.
-

Today, there are two worlds that use the word education with opposite meanings: one world consists of the schools and colleges (and even graduate schools) of our education complex, in which standardization prevails. In that world, an industrial training mega-structure strives to turn out identical replicas of a product called "people educated for the twenty-first century";

vikki rossi****
Traditional education focuses on teaching, not learning. It incorrectly assumes that for every ounce of teaching there is an ounce of learning by those who are taught. However, most of what we learn before, during, and after attending schools is learned without its being taught to us. A child learns such fundamental things as how to walk, talk, eat, dress, and so on without being taught these things. Adults learn most of what they use at work or at leisure while at work or leisure. Most of what is taught in classroom settings is forgotten, and much or what is remembered is irrelevant. -

-
Long before there were schools as we know them, there was apprenticeship -- learning how to do something by trying it under the guidance of one who knows how.
-
Younger kids are always seeking answers from older kids -- sometimes just slightly older kids (the seven-year old tapping the presumed life wisdom of the so-much-more-experienced nine year old), often much older kids. The older kids love it, and their abilities are exercised mightily in these interactions.
-
hey have to figure out what it is that they understand about the question being raised, and they have to figure out how to make their understanding comprehensible to the younger kids. The same process occurs over and over again in the world at large; this is why it is so important to keep communities multi-aged, and why it is so destructive to learning, and to the development of culture in general, to segregate certain ages (children, old people) from others.
-
One might wonder how on earth learning came to be seen primarily a result of teaching.
-
That is the basis for the formation of universities in the Middle Ages -- places where thinkers were willing to spend their time making their thoughts public. The only ones who got to stay were the ones whom other people ("students") found relevant enough to their own personal quests to make listening to them worthwhile.
-
Schools should enable people to go where they want to go, not where others want them to.
-
- To decide what skills and knowledge everyone has to have to be a productive citizen of a developed country in the industrial age
- To make sure the way this information is defined and standardized, to fit into the standardization required by the industrial culture
- To develop the means of describing and communicating the standardized information (textbooks, curricula)
- To train people to comprehend the standardized material and master the means of transmitting it (teacher training, pedagogy)
- To create places where the trainees (children) and the trainers (unfortunately called teachers, which gives them a status they do not deserve) can meet -- so-called schools (again a term stolen from a much different milieu, endowing these new institutions with a dignity they also do not deserve)
- And, to provide the coercive backing necessary to carry out this major cultural and social upheaval
The trouble began when mass education was introduced. It was necessary
-
“education is not the filling of a bucket but of lighting a fire” and “the most important things can never be taught”. Learning is an activity, not a (supine) position.
-
"You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself."
Galileo Galilei -
When I redesigned a class to make it more real-world like, it required unstructured decision making, research thinking and analysis for the student and not some bone headed opinion, the people who were most unhappy were the students. I took away their comfort zone of plugging and chugging to get a unique answer by using known formulas and they were at a complete loss. No wonder my evaluation tanked. So unless there is commitment by the system, nothing will change mostly as people will simply respond to their perceived incentive.
