At best, we're just showing how well students can memorize a list of facts and regurgitate them on command, and at worst we're measuring whether or not they enjoyed lunch.<br /><br />True assessment of learning and application of knowledge requires a <b>huge</b> amount of work over a long period of time, and scares most of us silly.

Sadly, most of these agencies (or the people checking) could care less if the researchers and their staff KNOW anything from the courses they are forced to complete. As long as they aren't non-compliant and a box has been checked beside a training course that they completed it, all is well. Let's stop pretending that mandated (forced) training really works and start teaching what they need to know to do a great job.Frediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392867854470826381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-41772399820547323982012-08-06T01:36:31.507-07:002012-08-06T01:36:31.507-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ray ban sunglasseshttp://www.discountglasses-hot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-66363374620113602342012-08-03T12:31:16.533-07:002012-08-03T12:31:16.533-07:00let's stop pretending that the iPad solves *ev...let's stop pretending that the iPad solves *everything* ;-)Steve Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993085281983240279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-44755982399591789762012-08-02T14:30:14.638-07:002012-08-02T14:30:14.638-07:00let's stop pretending that our students will b...let's stop pretending that our students will become independent and autonomous lifelong learners if we assign a a self-directed learning task without modelling or scaffoldingBarbara Nicollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072593878291176991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10313978.post-58017097791538242172012-08-02T08:57:16.943-07:002012-08-02T08:57:16.943-07:00I agree on almost all points, but tools are import...I agree on almost all points, but tools are important.
