Education, research and stuff. June 20, 2015. Podcast: Students Interview Carol Dweck about Growth Mindset. One of the things I was keen to do this year in setting up an in-house research centre. At Wellington College was to have a small number of students partner with us on our project with Harvard faculty on Growth Mindsets and Grit. A key point for me was what does this research actually look like in the classroom and and at the level of the student? Follow Blog via Email. Join 7,522 other followers.

Education, research and stuff. April 4, 2015. The McNamara Fallacy and the Problem with Numbers in Education. Robert McNamara was by any standards, a wildly successful man. Harvard graduate, president of Ford motors then rising to the heights of U.S. Secretary of Defense in the 1960s, McNamara epitomised American élan and brio. But he had one major flaw – he saw the world in numbers. Although on paper America was ‘winning’ the war, ultimately they lost it. It is true enough that not every conceivable com...

Education, research and stuff. May 29, 2015. We’ve lost Sight of the Point of Testing. For me there are several issues that focus not so much on testing itself but on the collateral damage caused by testing and how they’re being used far beyond their intended purpose:. 1 Tests are no longer. Of a judgement, they now. The judgement – it’s not so much that the tail is wagging the dog as the tail now is. It is important to point out what standardization meant in those days. It did not mean norm-referenc...

Is collaboration always the best way of working? | chronotope
https://chronotopeblog.com/2015/06/26/is-collaboration-really-the-best-way-of-working
Education, research and stuff. June 26, 2015. Is collaboration always the best way of working? I’ve long thought that if the guiding principle for any initiative is the fact that it’s alliterative or that it’s a ‘handy acronym’, then there’s probably good reason to be suspicious of it.

Collaboration is now the sine qua non. The results were over...
