+ | ===Education versus Socialization -- 2 November 2009=== | ||
+ | Should OERs venture into socialization issues? Do we know where to draw the line? | ||
− | + | : ◊ Both education and socialization are processes of learning. At one time in the past the difference between the two was very distinct, but as time passes that boundary becomes more blurred. Furthermore, as we shift to a "gardening" approach to education (as advocated in our community), we will pay more attention to the values we teach and the kinds of things that were historically left to socialization rather than included in the educational curricula. | |
+ | : ◊ Socialization is the process of learning to become human. It is the way that society-culture perpetuates itself. It was originally distinguished from education in that it was ''ad hoc'', informal, and unplanned. It focused more on values and acceptable behaviour than on information and knowledge. Then schools began spending more time on teaching little children basic life skills, like how to put on rain gear, paying attention in class, when and where to go to toilet, being nice to others. As time passes. topics once left only to informal methods are being taught as part of the educational curriculum, for increasingly older students. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ Life skills courses are now being taught for people of disadvantaged situations. These include prison inmates, and include aboriginals and other ethnic minorities (who often have statistically disproportionate representation in prisons). Apart from mechanical skills, such as opening a bank account, using a fork, and writing a cheque, they teach social skills. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ Eye contact, for example, can be one of those. In all other animals, including primates, making eye contact is a sign of aggression, and is avoided so as to avoid conflict. In most cultures and societies around the world, similar symbolism is or was practiced, ie avoiding eye contact as a sign of respect. In Western societies, in contrast, eye contact is seen as a sign of honesty and transparency. It is not biologically "natural" (instinctual), but is socialized into us. Many investigators, police officers, social workers, teachers, see the avoiding of eye contact by people of some ethnic minorities as a sign of dishonesty, when it is a sign of respect. Guilty by ethnocentric miscommunication. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ Socialization is (or historically was) distinguished from education by being informal, ''ad hoc'' and unplanned. It is the process of learning to be human. From birth to death. We can also distinguish between primary and secondary socialization. The first one starts at birth, the other whenever our social environment changes and we need to adjust. Anthropologists sometimes use the terms enculturation and acculturation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ Today, many things that are not exactly academic are included in the curricula for pupils at the lowest levels, Some of those are for very practical reasons, such as when and where to defecate and urinate (not in the classroom, please). Others have to do with safety coming to school and going home. Dressing for snow or rain before returning home is included. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ Is there a place for such life style training for older students? It is increasing, whether we agree it should or not. Anyone who has had young men in the back of the class – full of their hormones and a desire to be macho, feet up, leaning back, arms folded across their chests – may well agree. But what about other topics? Is school a place to teach values, beliefs and social graces (or other aesthetics)? | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ If so, should we in WikiEducator set up a course or topic in socialization, how at teach it, to whom to teach it, what to teach at different ages and educational levels? I think the answer would be yes, and if so we need to set up a collaboration page on which we can all contribute. --[[User:Philbartle|Phil Bartle]] 05:21, 2 November 2009 (UTC) | ||

: ◊ Necesitamos tener una respuesta para quienes nos acusan de destruir su cultura tradicional, en donde profesan la discriminación. Nada de eso. La cultura no es estática, y si intentamos preservarla la enfrascamos, la matamos. Entonces lo que estamos haciendo es fortalecerla al adaptarla al siempre cambiante ambiente social mundial. | : ◊ Necesitamos tener una respuesta para quienes nos acusan de destruir su cultura tradicional, en donde profesan la discriminación.

+ | : ◊ Al desarrollar Recursos Educativos Abiertos, es nuestra responsabilidad incluir el tema en donde sea apropiado teniendo en cuenta todas las materias. Debe incluirse, obviamente, en los cursos de estudios sociales y además, aunque menos obvio, en otros cursos sociales como biología y zoología. Poner en evidencia que existen diferentes categorías de raza, sexo y edad es responsabilidad de las ciencias biológicas. Una amplia gama de otras materias puede fácilmente tener áreas apropiadas para incluir el tema. Tomar el enfoque basado en el “cultivo” para el aprendizaje, en donde lo enseñado se debe considerar antes de lo que se debe enseñar, debería motivarnos a considerar las necesidades de las sociedades al diseñar y presentar recursos educativos. --[[Usuario:Philbartle|Phil Bartle]] 14:23 16 oct 2009 (UTC) | ||

+ | ===Language Learning; a Lesson about Learning –– 2009 October 1=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | One of our training documents describes a method for learning a language that is unwritten. The method also works for learning a written language . . . without resorting to writing (or to books, to note taking, or to learning the rules). | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ The method is based on the idea that how we learned our first language, at ages 1-3, served us well, but the way a second language is taught in school is far different. True, we lose some of our language learning abilities as we get older, especially if we do not exercise them, but it is our methods, not our natural abilities, that are in focus here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ When we learned our first language, we did not use text books or notebooks, we did not memorize vocabulary; we did not memorize grammatical rules. Oh we did learn grammar, but we did so by learning what felt right, not what the regulations were. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ The method was designed so I could learn a language in Africa to do anthropological studies there. I later used it for training community workers to learn a language if they were assigned to a community where they spoke a different language. The method is to pretend that you are a three year old, select only words and phrases that are useful in your daily life (Please pass the salt) and train your friends and colleagues (as informants) to repeat the term after you (you must not repeat it after them). Without telling them what you are thinking, you pretend that your informants are your older brothers and sisters, correcting your pronunciation. You choose 1-5 words only each day, no more, no less. You vary the way a word is used (I want water. He has water). Within three months, you aim for fluency, which means the ability to operate in the language, with a limited vocabulary, about a hundred words only (what we tend to use in daily life). | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ Although your ability to learn a new language has decreased, you have burned learning pathways in your brain, and this method takes advantage of them. While you train your informants to not think of themselves as correcting you, just repeating after you, you pretend you are three years old getting corrected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ You might think at first a certain fruit is a napple, which can be easily corrected later when you learn how to read and write. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ I think this method can be adapted to teaching a language to a group of students, even though it was designed for self teaching. I see hints of it in the most up to date methods of TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and language immersion programs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ What is important here is the degree to which the method can be adapted to teaching other subjects and topics. Using text books and notebooks is efficient and convenient, and encouraged by schools and colleges that are becoming more and more like corporations. unlike an environment that encourages teachers to explore and create new and unorthodox methods. Text books and notebooks encourage conformity, monotony and homogeneity (like McDonald's hamburgers). | ||
+ | |||
+ | : ◊ It may be that the new challenge of not using text books and notes, may not only make it better to learn introductory levels of each topic, but also preparing the learner to learn the more advanced elements better. I would like to hear from collaborators on WikiEducator their thoughts and experiences with unorthodox methods of learning. --[[User:Philbartle|Phil Bartle]] 01:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC) | ||

− | === | + | ===Los Métodos de Aprendizaje No son Iguales a los Métodos de Enseñanza –– 10 de octubre de 2009=== |
+ | Traducido por '''[http://es.wikieducator.org/Usuario:Adolf85 Adolfo Fulco]''' | ||
− | + | Alentamos a los métodos de aprendizaje alternativos y no ortodoxos, y esto afecta cómo los presentamos a los alumnos, pero son dos cosas distintas, y debemos tener cuidado de no confundirlas. A simple vista esto suena muy obvio, pero cuando creamos procesos alternativos y no ortodoxos uno puede olvidarse fácilmente. | |
− | : ◊ | + | : ◊ Hay que acordarse que dentro de otros tipos de aprendizaje, incluidos observar y oir, recomendamos “hacer" como uno de los métodos de aprendizaje más efectivos. |
− | : ◊ | + | : ◊ Cuando establecemos una sesión de aprendizaje para que los alumnos interpreten roles en un determinado marco hipotético, por ejemplo, son los alumnos quienes se involucran en el proceso de “hacer” en el aprendizaje. El profesor crea el ambiente para que eso suceda. No hay una manera en particular de crearlo. Cuando el profesor organiza una clase de conocimientos básicos para hacer una excursión y que los alumnos recaben información sobre el precio de los pescados y luego regresar para crear señales que indiquen el precio, no es el profesor quien se involucra en el “hacer”, son los alumnos, y el profesor sólo crea el ambiente para que eso ocurra. A su vez, el profesor puede elegir muchas formas de hacerlo, y diseñar otras nuevas. |
− | : ◊ | + | : ◊ En el método ortodoxo común el profesor es el encargado de hacer todo: preparar el contenido, armar la utilería, hacer la presentación, responder al feedback y a las preguntas. El profesor, al hacer, aprende mucho sobre la materia, y a veces se olvida que los alumnos no están “haciendo” (solo miran y escuchan), están menos estimulados, y aprenden menos. El profesor puede fácilmente quedarse perplejo, y hasta puede irritarse, porque los alumnos son tan lentos. |
− | : ◊ | + | : ◊ El profesor primero debe decidir o planear un método o métodos, y escoger lo que sea apropiado para los alumnos y el tema. Eso está primero. Luego debe escoger o planear el enfoque, los métodos a usar. Deben complementar los métodos de aprendizaje y no duplicarlos. Existen muchas maneras posibles de enseñar por cada método de aprendizaje, algunos aún desconocidos, por lo que no existe una fórmula automática. |
− | : ◊ | + | : ◊ En otras palabras, diseñar una sesión debe incluir tanto los métodos de enseñanza como los de aprendizaje, y además deben estar planeados para que se complementen. Tres elementos separados. Muy a menudo, los porfesores planean clases prestando arención a solo un aspecto, generalmente cómo enseñarlo, en lugar de tener un enfoque completo y balanceado que no solo incluya a ambos sino que ambos se relacionen. |
− | : ◊ | + | : ◊ Al desarrollar Recursos Educativos Abiertos (REAs) no debemos únicamente imitar enfoques viejos y desgastados usados en el salón de clase. Necesitamos facilitar el mejor, y eso implica analizar con más detalle las necesidades de los alumnos y de los temas, y además implica la voluntad de ser creativos, novedosos y experimentales. --[[User:Philbartle|Phil Bartle]] 07:18, 10 October 2009 (UTC) |
