Sehr interessanter Artikel von @carlhendrick.substack.com über AI unterstützten Unterricht in der Schule (looongread)!

Wünschte unser Bildungsminister nähme sich Zeit das zu lesen und darüber nachzudenken...

It's a sad state of affairs that this is the first year where my wife, a military brat whose father was a Colonel, and myself, former foreign correspondent, have felt emotionally uncomfortable attending a Remembrance Day service. All because of extreme nationalism of those who've weaponised the flag

Latest post looks at the complicated picture emerging on AI tutoring: when AI tutors work astonishingly well and when they quietly make students worse. ⬇️

This throws up some really interesting questions.
One of those ones where I've got so many connecting thoughts that it's pub-chat stuff.

But maybe it will all get overtaken by AI developments? Yet another thought-provoking blog from @carlhendrick.substack.com - this one a bit disconcerting. LLMs on their own hinder students but with tweaking could they actually turbocharge learning? substack.com/inbox/post/1...

When students compare their performance with others, (with their past selves, or across subjects), their confidence in their academic ability shifts, rising after favourable comparisons and falling after unfavourable ones. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

‘Feedback: A message in a bottle’

“Feedback is not a clear, simple exchange. It is a difficult, contingent, emotional, belief-laden effort. Teachers pose messages that can be easily lost, or can hit home very directly.”

Il est indispensable de lire et de relire les écrits de #Vygotsky pour saisir pleinement son propos. Son #héritage a été déformé par la traduction, l'idéologie et les modes, nous laissant avec un théoricien à la fois omniprésent et pourtant méconnu.

This is such a rich piece of half term reading from @carlhendrick.substack.com. Scaffolding is more complex than it might first appear. The contingency rule is hopelessly reductive, and instead tutors must make "uncertain judgements" about support #edpsychs
