Abraham Lincoln's Letter to his son's Teacher
  He will have to learn, I know,
  that all men are not just, all men are not true.

  But teach him also that
  for every scoundrel there is a hero;
  that for every selfish Politician, there is a dedicated leader...

  Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,
                                          friend
  It will take time, I know;
  but teach him if you can,
  that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found...

  Teach him to learn to lose...and also to enjoy winning.

  Steer him away from envy,
  if you can, teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
         can                                laughter

  Let him learn early that
  the bullies are the easiest to lick...

Abraham Lincoln's Letter to his son's Teacher
Teach him, if you can,
 the wonder of books...But also give him quiet time
 to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
 bees in the sun,
             sun
 and the flowers on a green hillside.

 In the school teach him
  it is far honorable to fail than to cheat
                                      cheat...
 Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,
 even if everyone tells him they are wrong...
 Teach him to be gentle
                 g
 with gentle people, and tough with the tough.
 Try to give my son
 the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon...

 Teach him to listen to all men...
  but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth,
 and take only the good that comes through.

                                          S. Goel, CSEET' 09
Abraham Lincoln's Letter to his son's Teacher

  Teach him if you can,
  how to laugh when he is sad...
  Teach him there is no shame in tears,
                                 tears
  Teach him to scoff at cynics
  and to beware of too much sweetness...
  Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders
  but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul.
                     price-tag                  soul

  Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob
  and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.
  Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him,
  T     hi      lbd               ddl hi
  because only the test of fire makes fine steel.

  Let him have the courage to be impatient...
  let him have the patience to be brave.
                   p
  Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself,
  because then he will have sublime faith in mankind.
  This is a big order, but see what you can do...
              g      ,              y
  He is such a fine fellow,
  my son!

‘Graduateness’
John Henry Newman (1852), UK
distinguished such attributes as being able,
'to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought,
to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevant . . . to fill any post
with credit and to master any subject with facility.''
  i h di d                        bj      i h f ili

These, equipped a graduate to
'accommodate himself to others . . . to throw himself into their state of mind, how
                                                                                mind
to bring before them his own, how to influence them, how to come to an
understanding with them, how to bear with them'; ' . . . to be at home in any society
. . . [to have] common ground with every class . . . [to know] when to speak and
when to be silent . . . to ask a question pertinently . . . [to] be able to converse and
gain a lesson seasonably . . . [and to enjoy] the repose of a mind that lives in itself,
while it lives in the world'

Curriculum of Modern Education,
               J.F. Bobbitt, 1941
•   emphasis on the importance of general education,
•   inability to predetermine future lives and roles of students,
•   the necessity for schools to develop individuals’ intellect rather than
    to train them for work,
•   a respect for many of the classic authors of “great books”

METACOGNITION consists of three basic elements:
Before - When you are developing the plan of action, ask yourself:
    •   What in my prior knowledge will help me with this particular task?
    •   In what direction do I want my thinking to take me?
    •   What should I do first?
    •   Why am I reading this selection?
    •   How much time do I have to complete the task?

During - When you are maintaining/monitoring the plan of action ask yourself:
                                                         action,
    •   How am I doing? Am I on the right track?
    •   How should I proceed?
    •   What information is important to remember?
    •   Should move
        Sho ld I mo e in a different direction?
    •   Should I adjust the pace depending on the difficulty?
    •   What do I need to do if I do not understand?

After When
Aft - Wh you are evaluating th plan of action ask yourself:
                    l ti the l       f ti       k       lf
    •   How well did I do?
    •   Did my particular course of thinking produce more or less than I had expected?
    •   What could I have done differently?
    •   How might I apply this li of thi ki t other problems?

• Two Central interwoven dynamics:
  – Confronting and coping with diversity and multiples:
     • Multiple opinions about a given subject or issue (1-3);
     • Multiple contexts/perspectives from which to understand or analyze
       issues or arguments (4 - 6);
     • Multiple Commitments through which one defines his or her values
       and identity (7 - 9).

     • Knowledge is seen as increasingly conjectural and uncertain, open to
       (and requiring) interpretation
     • Role of the student -- moving from a passive receptor of facts to an
       active agent in defining arguments and creating new knowledge.
     • Role of the teacher -- moving from an Authority as the source of
       quot;Truthquot; to an authority as a resource with specific expertise to share

                                1970 s
1 - unconscious incompetence
      – not aware of the existence or relevance of the skill area
      – must become conscious of their incompetence before development of the new skill or learning can
         begin
         bi
2 - conscious incompetence
      – becomes aware of the existence and relevance of the skill
      – realises that by improving their skill or ability in this area their effectiveness will improve
3 - conscious competence
         i
      – can perform it reliably at will The skill is not yet 'second nature' or 'automatic'
      – should be able to demonstrate the skill to another, but is unlikely to be able to teach it well to
         another person
      – practice is the most effective way to move from stage 3 to 4.   4

4 - unconscious competence
      – the skill becomes becomes 'second nature'
      – it becomes possible for certain skills to be performed while doing something else, for example,
                                                                                     else      example

  • 65. Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome ( (SOLO) Taxonomy, Biggs and Collis, 1982 ) y, gg , • A framework for understanding that describes thinking processes in a scale of increasing complexity complexity. • Higher level embraces the previous level but adds something more. more •Q Quantitative Phase: Th amount of detail i response i i Ph The f d il in increases. • Qualitative Phase: The detail in the responses becomes integrated into a structural pattern S. Goel, CSEET' 09
  • 66. SOLO Taxonomy • Quantitative Phase: The amount of detail increases. • Pre-structural – the student acquires bits of unconnected information that have no organisation and make no sense. – The task is not attacked appropriately and the performance is incompetent. p – Misses the point • Uni-structural – students make simple and obvious connections between pieces of i f i f information. F ti Focus on one conceptual issue or naming thi t li i things. – One or a few aspects of the task are picked up and used. – Correct solution of one part of more complex problem. –CCorrect answer t simple algorithmic problem requiring substitution of t to i l l ith i bl ii b tit ti f data into formula. – Identify, Memorise, Do simple procedure S. Goel, CSEET' 09
  • 67. SOLO Taxonomy y • Quantitative Phase: The amount of detail increases. • Multi-structural – a number of connections are made, but not the meta- connections between them. Indicates understanding of boundaries but not of systems. y – Several aspects of the task are treated as if they were separate. – Correct solution to multiple part problem requiring substitution of data from one part to the next. – Enumerate, Classify, Describe, List, Combine, Do algorithms, Explain, interpret S. Goel, CSEET' 09
  • 68. SOLO Taxonomy • Qualitative Phase: The detail in the responses becomes integrated into a structural pattern • Relational – the students sees the significance of how the various pieces of information relate to one another. Indicate orchestration between facts and theory, action and purpose. U d h i d Understands h d how to apply the concept to a lh familiar problem. – The quantitative aspects become integrated into a coherent whole – El Elegant solution t complex problem requiring id tifi ti of variables t l ti to l bl i i identification f i bl to be evaluated or hypotheses to be tested. – Compare/contrast, Explain causes, Integrate, Analyse, Relate, Apply, Summarise, categorise Summarise categorise, outline distinguish • Extended abstract – at this level students can make connections beyond the scope of the problem or question, to generalise or transfer learning into a new situation. Relates an existing concept or p g p principle in such a way that p y they are able to handle unseen problems. – The previous integrated whole may be conceptualized at a higher level of abstraction and generalized to a new topic or area. – Solution that go beyond anticipated answer for ill-defined problems. – Create, Theorize, Generalize, Hypothesize, Reflect, Generate, Predict S.
