356.martin: Analysis of Elliot Eisner's article

  • "We are much more concerned with standardization and homogenization than with the cultivation of variance in a group's performance" (Eisner, 2004), and it is leading us away from embracing the variant nature of human cognition.

Vision and Design: Roger Fry

  • From 1905 to 1910, Fry was the Curator of Paintings for the Metropolitan Museum in New York

Elliot Eisner

  • [since 1965] where he is known for his scholarship in three fields: arts education, curriculum studies, and educational evaluation.

The Unfinished Revolution: Learning, Human Behavior, Community, and Political Paradox

  • The mantra of “standards, testing, and accountability” is based on these traditional views of education and learning. However, today's social and economic needs argue for a new model of learning that entails:

    1. Mastery of basic skills.
    2. The ability to work with others.
    3. Being able to deal with constant distractions.
    4. Working at different levels across different disciplines.
    5. Using mainly verbal skills.
    6. Problem solving and decision making.

Insubstantial Pageants

  • This section summarizes my analysis of documents from ed school websites—as well as course syllabi, annual reports, and program brochures. The focus is on how ed schools portray what they intend to achieve, what they do, and how they legitimize and valorize their aims and activities—i.e., how they seduce audiences (and themselves) into a willful suspension of disbelief. The analysis is based on the simple assumption that what we say and write (the words, the concepts signified by words, the propositions) represents how we think and affects how we act. Limited intellectuality, for example, obviates intelligent behavior—including the ability to see even that point.

Comprehensive School Reform-Comparing CSR Models

  • Child-Centered/Developmental
    Definition: This theory approaches teaching learning through the child's previous understandings, and follows the child's natural interests.
    Description: This child-centered model is based initially on the work of Piaget, and more recently on the work of Russian psychologist Vygotsky. Rather than teaching literacy according to a "correct" or "transmission" model, it exercises and guides children's metacognitive strategies, helping children develop adult literacy on their own through guided experimentation and trial and error. Teachers try to keep students within what Vygotsky termed the "Zone of Proximal Development," a place where the students are in familiar enough territory to function, but where enough is unfamiliar that they are stimulated to grow. Note: This approach differs from a Student Empowerment approach in that it is still teacher-led. The hallmark of this approach is the interactivity between teachers and students as they negotiate the direction of learning. On the whole, this approach is compatible with most other approaches and, indeed, is a staple of the American education system.

THESIS

  • progressive education, movement in American education. Confined to a period between the late 19th and mid-20th cent., the term “progressive education” is generally used to refer only to those educational programs that grew out of the American reform effort known as the progressive movement. The sources of the movement, however, partly lie in the pedagogy of Jean Jacques Rousseau, Johann Pestalozzi, and Friedrich Froebel.

Lao Tzu

  • Clay is moulded to make a vessel, but the utility of the vessel lies in the space where there is nothing. . . . Thus, taking advantage of what is,�we recognize the utility of what is not.
