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

Community-Based Philosophy and Service-Learning: A Case Study at Barry University
No full textService-learning, as a pedagogical technique, presents unique learning opportunities for students, where they get to use their skills and knowledge from courses to help improve communities that have particular needs. Barry University has recently begun to expand it program across the school, reaching into disciplines that are not often associated with service-learning. Barry is also a school that presents itself as aware of inequality, with the goal of helping to diminish it. However, there is a clear lack of philosophical direction behind the application of service-learning. This research seeks to ascertain the extent to which community-based philosophy is being employed at Barry by interviewing faculty members and students, a total of twenty-five (25) participants, about their experiences with service-learning. The findings suggest that there are many problems with service-learning at this institution, leaving all parties involved wanting more from this practice. From the findings a series of policy implications are made in the hope of further strengthening service-learning at Barry, and making it a community-based endeavor.</p

Je rêvais aussi en quelque sorte comme la forêt
No full textDans cet entretien inédit, l’anthropologue Eduardo Kohn, auteur de Comment pensent les forêts, revient sur le rôle que le rêve a joué dans l’élaboration de ce qu’il a appelé « l’anthropologie au-delà de l’humain » et du projet qu’il mène actuellement sur le psychédélisme. Il y aborde notamment la place qu’ont tenue les rêves – les siens et ceux de ses hôtes – dans son enquête de terrain, dans son enseignement universitaire et dans ses réflexions éthiques et politiques.In this previously unpublished interview, the anthropologist Eduardo Kohn, author of How Forests Think, looks back at the role that dreams have played in the development of what he has called “the anthropology beyond the human” and his current project on psychedelics. In particular, he discusses the role that dreams―his own and those of his hosts―have played in his fieldwork, in his university teaching, and in his ethical and political reflections
