#LaborDay thread on #academic labor.
Renewed @AAUP chapter at #Wesleyan @WesleyanAAUP has compelling hist of fac/admin relations & negotiations ca 1916-2000
TL;DR
--AAUP key but not strongest tool for labor
--instead Junior fac self-org & info sharing

Acc. to this hist, key contexts for #Wesleyan’s AAUP:
-- a rich lib arts college into #highered “experimentation”
-- a “Little Uni” w/ PhD progs in sciences
-- square circle: low tenure density & high contingency
-- longstanding Junior Faculty Org (JFO) addressed contradiction

@WesleyanAAUP hist notes contradictions in 1915-17 statements of @AAUP prez John #Dewey & co-found Arthur Lovejoy:
profs + trusteees collab on everything to do w/ education (curriculum to budget to donations);
admin there to "implement".
Nonetheless: profs salaried employees.

On the 68th anniversary of #JohnDewey's death, here's a nice read about the pragmatist's legacy. Among other ways, Dewey's thought was influential internationally through his students, #Ambedkar and #HuShih #pragmatism #jaibhim @saap @DeweySociety neh.gov/article/john-d…
#Ambedkar took inspiration from Dewey, and others, and created a unique version of non-foundationalist #pragmatism in India, one that used #equality, #liberty, and #fraternity as ends-in-view or ideals. He also owned more books by or about Dewey than any other contemporary author
If you're interested in the relationship between #Dewey and #Ambedkar, here's a place to start. My research and conclusions have grown since this post, but it's a helpful beginning. #jaibhim forwardpress.in/2017/05/john-d…

Gracias a una iniciativa de @RedDivulga y el apoyo de @otriual, @Divulga_UCA y @ualmeria comparto algunas ideas sobre mi tesis, relacionada con la #PrácticaReflexiva, la #PrácticaDocente, los #Prácticums, el #Socioconstructivismo y el #PeF (Profesor en Formación)
Abro #HiloTesis
Es común en el ámbito educativo, desgraciadamente, que exista una distancia – a veces insalvable – entre teoría y práctica.

El conocimiento proviene de un profesor investigador, el profesor docente aplica esas teorías y los alumnos son los recipientes de esa información.
Este modelo fundamentalmente transmisivo va, por suerte, cambiando poco a poco (echad un 👁️ a los trabajos de @xtianolive) y se apuesta por modelos más sociales, humanos e interactivos como el #EnfoqueRealista de @Korthagen donde la teoría y la práctica van unidas de la mano.

Alongside the #ExeterTehranConvos I’m been thinking about the nature of philosophy and research in #Iran within the context of the reception of #European philosophy - thread on #philosophy in #Iran 1/ Image
And the ways in which continental philosophy dominated in an earlier period due to the influence of the #Heideggerians and the circle of #AhmadFardid (1909-1994) many of whom became prominent in the committee for the cultural revolution after 1979 2/ Image
But since then - and it seems perhaps a bit of a surprise that #Soroush was a major figure in the support of #analytic_philosophy then - #Anglophone philosophy is gaining an upper hand 3/ Image

In preparation for #HMIchat this Wed 9 PM with @drlizaola "Transforming our Teaching for the Digital Age" here are a few concepts to brush up on:
- #TPACK
- #SAMR
- #RAT
How do these relate to
- #BloomsTaxonomy
- #Dewey
- #KolbsExperientialLearning?
1/n... @harvardmacy #HMIHCE
#TPACK is a model 4 educators 2 integrate Content, Pedagogy and Technology Knowledge to enhance learning
tpack.org.
Misra & Kohler eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ737321 Extended Lee Shulman's framework of Pedagogical Concept Knowledge (amazon.com/Wisdom-Practic…)

Educators need 2 know:
a) content matter -> concepts most difficult 2 grasp & durable frameworks
b) principles of how students learn and how best to teach so learners get those concepts and build those frameworks
c) how best to leverage tech to enhance b)

...responding with institutional rhetoric rather than something more humane in response to trauma... #AGLS18
@cplong How to bring words to such a moment? Knowing about Greek tragedy is helpful. Need to draw on #liberalarts education #AGLS18
To put the arts of liberty into practice as leaders, parents, friends...have to repeat your values and then to live them. @cplong #AGLS18
