DESCRIPTION
...the model that says ‘learn while you are at school the skills that you will apply during your lifetime’ is no longer tenable. These skills will be obsolete by the time you get into the workplace and need them, except for one skill – the skill of being able to learn. It is the skill of being able, not to give the right answer to questions about what you were taught in school, but to make the right response to situations that are outside the scope of what you were taught in school. We need to produce people who know how to act when they are faced with situations for which they were not specifically prepared.(Papert, 1998) What do we need students to learn?

...the model that says ‘learn while you are at school the skills that you will apply during your lifetime’ is no longer tenable. These skills will be obsolete by the time you get into the workplace and need them, except for one skill – the skill of being able to learn. It is the skill of being able, not to give the right answer to questions about what you were taught in school, but to make the right response to situations that are outside the scope of what you were taught in school. We need to produce people who know how to act when they are faced with situations for which they were not specifically prepared. (Papert, 1998)
What do we need students to learn?
Preparation for future learning (PFL)
Cannot be taught in isolation from other learning
Students still need the basic skills of literacy, numeracy, concepts and facts
Learning power is developed primarily through pedagogy, not curriculum
We have to change the way teachers teach, not what they teach
Successful educationThe test of successful education is not the amount of knowledge that a pupil takes away from school, but his [sic] appetite to know and his capacity to learn. If the school sends out children with the desire for knowledge and some idea how to acquire it, it will have done its work. Too many leave school with the appetite killed and the mind loaded with undigested lumps of information. The good schoolmaster [sic] is known by the number of valuable subjects which he declines to teach.
(Sir Richard Livingstone, President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, 1941)
Learning power environments
Key concept: Teachers do not create learning Learners create learning
Teaching as engineering learning environments
Key features: Create student engagement (pedagogies of
engagement) Well-regulated (pedagogies of contingency)
Why pedagogies of engagement?
Intelligence is partly inherited So what?
Intelligence is partly environmental Environment creates intelligence Intelligence creates environment

Why pedagogies of contingency?
For evaluating institutionsFor describing individualsFor supporting learning
Monitoring learningWhether learning is taking place
Diagnosing (informing) learningWhat is not being learnt
Forming learningWhat to do about it
Effects of formative assessment
Several major reviews of the research Natriello (1987) Crooks (1988) Kluger & DeNisi (1996) Black & Wiliam (1998) Nyquist (2003)

Questioning in science: diagnosis
The ball sitting on the table is not moving. It is not moving because:
A. no forces are pushing or pulling on the ball. B. gravity is pulling down, but the table is in the way.C. the table pushes up with the same force that gravity pulls downD. gravity is holding it onto the table. E. there is a force inside the ball keeping it from rolling off the table
