Moving Beyond Facts, Skills, and Right Answers

Educational Visionary Alfie Kohn discusses why "standards" are often a terrible things.

education pedagogy learning

The vast majority of policy makers have accepted a dubious set of assumptions
about what good teaching and learning are all about. Their pedagogy, in
other words, is as faulty as their psychology.
First, these standards are uniform.

- The premise is that all children can be expected to accomplish the same things
  at the same pace. Second, the standards are highly specific, often
  consisting of hundreds of detailed items.
  - Specificity is largely the case in Texas' TEKS: take a look at 8th grade U.S. History for an excellent example of this. - on 2009-08-22
  Add Sticky Note
- some children will be branded as failures because they don’t learn as quickly as
  their peers.
- In the face of such a view of schooling, it is refreshing and a little startling
  to recall a recent comment by Harold Howe II, former U.S. commissioner of
  education. Asked what a set of national standards should be like if we had
  to adopt them, he summarized half a century of wisdom in one short
  sentence. “They should be as vague as possible,” Howe replied.[3
- As the philosopher Alfred North Whitehead observed long ago, “A merely
  well-informed man is the most useless bore on God’s earth.” “Scraps of
  information,” he added, are only worth something if they are put to use or at
  least “thrown into fresh combinations.”[8]
- Later on, at the junior high level, it’ll start to make sense to them.”[
  - Upward blame/responsibility shift is shockingly prevalent in elementary settings and must be stopped! - on 2009-08-22
  Add Sticky Note
- “Because there is no place in the model for understanding, it is not surprising
  that behaviorist training rarely produces it.”[10] Second, the objective
  is to produce the “correct” behaviors: in the purest form of this
  approach, the teacher breaks “learning down into such small steps that errors
  are not experienced.”[11] As I’ll argue shortly, no one can learn
  effectively, particularly in a way that involves serious thinking, if her
  primary purpose is to avoid mistakes and get the right answer.
- The traditional curriculum keeps moving students from one isolated fact or
  skill to the next: the assignments get harder, but not more
  meaningful. Thus, the claim that learning the basics is justified because
  it prepares kids for what comes later turns out to be a kind of con: in
  senior year of high school, they’re still memorizing and practicing the basics –
  just different basics.[12]
