IS THE LECTURE DEAD?

IS THE LECTURE DEAD? | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
The Australian National University’s vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt told staff last week:: “We need our teachers to be more than just people who stand at the front of the lecture hall or before a video camera. We need them to connect with their students in richer ways. This might include fewer lectures, and those that we do deliver, will be memorable and sophisticated, utilising technology.”

Maths illiteracy has led to Trump and Brexit: Eddie Woo

Maths illiteracy has led to Trump and Brexit: Eddie Woo | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it

He said things would get worse unless the way maths is taught was changed radically. 

 
"My big thesis is that people hate maths because they don't know what maths is," Mr Woo said. 

 
"Growing up, I hated music because I was forced to play scales. I lasted 1½ years and and went, 'Thank god this torture is over' and then, when I was 17 years -old, I picked up an acoustic guitar because I wanted to play a song I heard on the radio and realised music is a joy. 

 
"Most people never transition in their understanding of mathematics, so they're still like seven-year-old me."

Something's gone badly wrong with teaching

Something's gone badly wrong with teaching | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
It's taken an eternity, but the econocrats have finally twigged that the big problem with the nation's education and training system isn't its high-cost to budgets, but its failure to provide enough of our youth with the skills they need to get and keep a decent job.
