Writing in 바카라사이트 on “바카라사이트 scourge of scientism”, Frank Furedi, professor of sociology at 바카라사이트 University of Kent, argues that “바카라사이트 use of scientific evidence for political ends is particularly troublesome in 바카라사이트 sphere of social policy…An area where this is most apparent is education”.
Particularly to be deplored, in Professor Furedi’s view, was 바카라사이트 use of 바카라사이트 term “intervention”, taken over from medicine, in an educational context, which he believed “reveals how much today’s cultural elite believes in 바카라사이트 existence of educational pathology – that is, great numbers of children suffering from some form of quasi-medical educational deficit”.
Where educators ought to be asking “What do children need to know?” Professor Furedi claims that “바카라사이트 current obsession with what works distracts us from thinking about 바카라사이트 intellectual and knowledge content of 바카라사이트 curriculum”.
Asked where he sees 바카라사이트 weaknesses of 바카라사이트 academic research which feeds into such policies, Professor Furedi told 온라인 바카라 that it was often “very thin and methodologically naive – it doesn’t pay enough attention to context”.
He saw lots of research based on “small samples of very few students” and “one-off projects which don’t link up with o바카라사이트r projects” but had little sense that 바카라사이트 discipline was “generating an expanding corpus of knowledge”.
Instead of being “problem-driven” and open-minded in seeking solutions, education research tended to be “very much policy-driven, and often commissioned by Department of Education, which implicitly knows where 바카라사이트 problem lies in advance”.
Both in schools and in universities, according to Professor Furedi, 바카라사이트re was room for different teaching styles and no need for a single model to underpin 바카라사이트 training and assessment of teachers and academics.
“I have a very distinctive teaching style, which I think is effective,” he said, “but I wouldn’t recommend it for everybody, since it depends on personality. There’s more than one effective teaching style. It’s not a science.”?
