[WikiEducator] Re: rant
I think both growth and competition views can be situated within cognitive or social or ecological perspectives. I'd like to see the middle way integrating them, naturally, but I am not sure if the ecological perspective by itself is the third way, or if it's a meta-entity. Cheers, MariaD On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 2:19 PM, Jan Visserjvis...@learndev.org wrote: Both these views of learning are based on the assumption of individuals as autonomous entities rather than as integral parts of a (learning) ecology: enlightenment of the self (to compete with one’s previous individual self) or competition with others (to reposition the self vis-à-vis other individual selves). I don’t buy either. A more positive view of learning recognizes its quality as a lifelong disposition to become better and better at interacting constructively with one’s environment, i.e. to become a better integrated part of the whole, a more harmonious part of the universe.

It related to the idea of growth vs. conflict, which came up in recent discussion with Jatinder Singh Barhey about learning game development. Here is a quote: Jatinder: A person learns only in two circumstances: 1. When you really want to learn for yourself – Self Enlightenment 2. When you want to prove yourself – Competition I have tried to think of any third situation but never got convinced that there lies a third situation. So, believe it or not competition based learning is about 50% as responsible for learning in human beings as anything else. May be Competition is not the right word. Thiagi (one of the pioneers in game based learning) uses the word “Conflict” for the same. Maria: I would agree on the two learning circumstances. I think of them as Growth and Conflict, with competition belonging to the conflict category. Game mechanics can be based on Growth/Enlightenment, though people can ALWAYS switch categories personally and compete with themselves in situations set up for growth, or refuse to pay attention to the competition while playing competitive games. ~*~*~*~*~* Phil, I see your gardening view of education as more peaceful and cooperative, whereas the industrial transfer models are more competitive and conflict-oriented. Also, I think the term edupunk is somehow relevant to the conversation, but I can't quite express the connection in words. http://mathfuture.wikispaces.com/edupunk Cheers, Maria Droujkova http://www.naturalmath.com Make math your own, to make your own math.
