I’ll be talking about how learning sciences, Ofsted, behaviour policies, school leadership and government policies have conspired to screw the arts and DT. Session 6. 2.50pm room 206. researchED Birmingham drive.google.com/file/d/1O-skP1…



John finney Lots of people at all levels think their own discipline should be a yardstick for all others, whereas the reality is that they are often very different.



Paul A. Kirschner Two points: 1. Why argue against ‘pure’ discovery learning when that is never argued for but rather a mix of teacher instruction & discovery/investigation/thinking through talk? 2. Where is the ‘empirical’ evidence? I searched & couldn’t see refs to any classroom research.





So good to see the Model Music Curriculum so thoroughly reviewed and critiqued at the upcoming RIME conference, and along with it exposure of the paucity of so called knowledge rich rhetoric. Music Education Solutions @UKmusicmark Music Teacher Music Teachers Association


Barbara Bleiman 🎓 Education is Conversation Yes, this is why I like Shulman who talks of this all as knowledge. The term ‘knowledge rich’ has been hijavked to mean a priori, declarative or explicit knowledge rather than a richer and more nuanced understanding.
