Relief...contre la planéité

Il y a de ces élans du coeur et de l’esprit qui vous happent au passage. À preuve, ces deux plaidoyers pour une école plus individualiste. …

Dans Most classroom learning sucks, Kathy Sierra réclame que l’école donne libre cours aux passions des élèves.

The important thing was that they took the time to discover what the kids were passionate about, and used that as a vehicle for motivation.

Par ailleurs, Brian Alger revendique une approche plus naturelle des apprentissages dans Learning Design: Natural vs. Machine.

In a natural approach to learning, our experiences, situations and circumstances become the source of design. In other words, the authentic experiences that each individual brings to learning are a source of design. This is a more inclusive perspective in which the confluence of each person’s individual life experiences are acknowledged and welcomed. From this emanates the idea the each person is a source of design, or the real designer. In this context, we hear about ideas like authentic learning and learning how to learn.
