Alfie Kohn, National Speaker and Author on Education - Students as the Center of Gravity
No full textThis week\u27s Podcast feature Alfie Kohn, national speaker and author of 14 books, and scores of articles, on human behavior, management, and education.
Alfie discusses the inspiration for his books including, No Contest and Punished by Rewards, the divergent thoughts surrounding the history of education in the 20th century, and his views on standardized testing and homework.
Alfie explains how, as a contrarian with a practice of finding issues where logic and research points in one direction and practices move in a different direction, he started thinking and writing about competition. He began debunking the common notion that competition is inevitable because it\u27s just part of human nature .
Next Alfie discusses the different philosophies on education in the early 20th century. As one side supported the experience of the student as the center of gravity , the other focused on rules, curriculum, numbers and behaviors - things outside the classroom that can be measured.
Alfie tells us how standardized testing has undermined education, even when test scores go up, and how much time has been taken away from real learning to teach kids how to be good at taking tests.
Lastly, Alfie shares what he will be talking about on November 8th, at The First Annual Deming in Education Conference in Seattle.https://digitalcommons.butler.edu/deming_podcast/1021/thumbnail.jp
