What drives you crazy about education reform?

We are the students of today
Attending the schools of yesterday
Being taught by the teachers of the past
With methods from the Middle Ages
To solve the problems of the future!

Many reforms are rightly wrong
Because they are based on models
—prototypes and metaphors—
that feel right
but are fundamentally wrong
![Page 6: Fast & Slow Learning in the 21st Century](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032117/55c4cc80bb61ebf53f8b485a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
DELIVERING KNOWLEDGE IS THE
SAME AS LEARNING AND
TEACHING
WRONG
![Page 7: Fast & Slow Learning in the 21st Century](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032117/55c4cc80bb61ebf53f8b485a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sometimes what feels right initially, when you think about it a bit more slowly isn’t really a good idea
![Page 8: Fast & Slow Learning in the 21st Century](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032117/55c4cc80bb61ebf53f8b485a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Conduit Model
Teachers are info depositor
s
Words are vessels for objective meaning
Minds are empty

A predominant logical fallacy
• Authority A in the name of society decides that Knowledge K is important
• A selects teacher B with lots of K to deliver to student X who doesn’t have any K
• B gives K to X
• If X doesn’t “get K”, then it is X ’s problem

How often have we actively or inadvertently thought, talked,
and acted as if teaching as direct transmission is true?
![Page 11: Fast & Slow Learning in the 21st Century](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032117/55c4cc80bb61ebf53f8b485a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How can we avoid the rightly wrong
temptation of using the Conduit Metaphor?

More Accurate MetaphorBUT not Perfect . . .

Madness TestApply to any educational proposal
Misunderstand how people learn ?
Apply (rightly wrong) ideas as silver bullets ?
Disregard (contrary) evidence (consistently and stubbornly) ?
Does it . . .
