Teaching to the test/curriculum is a #neuronormative practice.

To quote @alfiekohn, “Every hour spent on such exam preparation is an hour not spent helping students to become critical, creative, curious learners.”

#Ungrading is one of many ways we can/must #neuroqueer pedagogy.

Medical school success tip: Don't just memorize, understand

Are you striving to become a memorization pro and earn a spot in medical school? Well, let me tell you, once you get there, the amount of information you'll need to manage and comprehend can be overwhelming.

I’ve just read this paper by Karen Becker and Adelle Bish in which they offer this framework of the #onboarding of new employees in #organizations from a #LearningTheory perspective. I find their arguments about the relevance of the concept of #unlearning in this context particularly suggestive.

"Learning, Unlearning, and the Freedom to Read"

I wrote this essay awhile back that discusses Ways of Learning (and leans heavily on Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed -- excellent book! go read it!).

Read it here at my blog: https://reshapingreality.org/2022/09/06/ways-of-learning/

A summary of the essay:

"Curiosity, Creativity, Compassion, and Cooperation are the 4 C’s of human nature. A fifth C is the darker side of our nature: Control. In past (and non-western or Indigenous) societies, they educated their youth through self-directed learning that required a high level of respect, cooperation, creativity, and mutual exploration. Adults guided the children rather than enforcing a strict curriculum. However, this style is rarely if ever present in our current school system. Why?"

I split the essay into parts. The first part discusses Social Control and Education -- specifically what Freire calls the "banking" method. I discuss a bit of how that came to dominate education, especially in Western nations.

I contrast this with what Freire calls "problem-solving" method, which is rooted in an entirely different way of being in relation. Banking method requires an authoritarian figure (teacher) to bank/force-feed the information to student. In contrast, problem-solving method is where teacher and student learn together - adapting and discovering the topic through a relational and more equitable approach.

Unschooling is another methodology that is rooted in this problem-solving method, and I highlight Akilah S. Richards' words on it.

The next section I define these two methodologies in closer detail, where I draw heavily on the works of Freire and Richards. I then end with how this relates to liberation and dismantling oppression.

It is one of my longer essays, but I liked it, so thought I'd share it here.

Part of unlearning coercive ways of interacting when working with others to achieve something is learning to embrace the disappointment of things not working out precisely as you would want them to. So long as your disappointment is the result of someone else’s vision entwining with yours, and their vision being realised too, then it’s a good kind of disappointment. Dominance lost and collaboration won.

@seb there’s still a huge learning curve. Many people don’t quite get it yet, including the press. Others are bit timid or shy… Indeed, I was thinking today that #learning about Mastodon and the #fediverse is currently more about #Unlearning everything you’ve assumed about social media over the last ten years. We’re indoctrinated by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, and all the big-tech commercial models. Big broadcast media is the other realm, other than social media

#Unlearning

I’m still trying to undo so many of the judgments I used to make regarding student writing and what it is/was “supposed” to look like.

@jdp23 @tchambers @hawaii @DataDrivenMD Questio from a #newbie who's trying not to replicate bad habits. Because there isno algorithm boosting anything, do we know if everyone wants to be a on a public list like that? I know for the forst couple of days I was frantically adding folks like I did on the bird site, but now I'm wondering if that's even healthy #selfcare #TwitterExit #Unlearning

anyone here #coppicing or #greenwoodworking?

i'm based in #SouthWestWales retraining in #woodlandsmanagement (from a long history of #creativedigitalculture) so am especially keen to find my nerdy local #treefolk <3

i'm also #neuroqueer - #autistic #adhd #cptsd #queer #gendernonconforming #sober and #unlearning societal 'norms' (ugh) so i can be the human i want and need to be, and can play my part in the #movements making the world safe, welcoming and joyful for everyone.

#introduction

I'm trying a new thing where I don't get miffed that most Ss didn't do a thing when I wanted them to do a thing and just accept that they're tired (etc.) and need extra time.

Just like that. I changed my attitude.
