the chinese system is loving awful and chinese students are renowned in education for being loving terrible at everything that isn't an abacus when they go to european universities. The skills do not translate to the real world or further education what is wrong with these people?

Zalakwe posted:Why is this a bad idea? Similarly to the snoopers charter I can make some assumptions about why it is a bad idea, but why do we know it is a bad idea? It's not, actually. So what the Daily Mail have done here is to hear "as used in [places in the far east]" and conflated the Mastery Approach with their stereotype of eastern mathematics education. There are some things in (certainly very low level) mathematics that can be taught by rote, yes, but that's not what the Mastery Approach is; it's an approach based on the use of high quality text books and lots of in-class discussion. It does have downsides - most notably that it requires dramatically more work by the teacher outside the classroom (and with their colleagues) because it's much more reactive to the needs of students. (As an aside, this is one of the main reasons why education outcomes tend to be better in places like Singapore - teachers have more time to do out-of-classroom preparation.)

Just about to go teach but will, if time and if the thread hasn't moved on, write an effort post on the pedagogy behind whole class learning. Be advised - the Shanghai maths method is *not* rote learning. That's the standard style of education in <insert far east country here> but not the Shanghai Maths method.

one of the weirder puzzles is how scandinavian and east asian countries with basically totally opposite approaches to teaching maths or hiring teachers can nonetheless both do very well on the PISAs sadly I am not a pedagogy expert and the field is too politicized by anxious parents for me to really tell what's going on

If corbyn has this sewn up, shouldn't he have called for another leadership election, to submit himself to the labour voter and secure a mandate? I mean he should have done it so that the drama of the labour backstabbing could have been averted. Would he have been able to obtain better terms for the contest if it was at his direction?

hakimashou posted:If corbyn has this sewn up, shouldn't he have called for another leadership election, to submit himself to the labour voter and secure a mandate? No, because that's not how leadership elections in the Labour Party work. But also Corbyn was fairly consistent in calling for an open contest, but that has to be initiated by challengers.

It was against his interest, the "backstabbing" narrative is extremely valuable for his campaign and energizing his anti-establishment support, and the alternative (ie they chicken out) is good for him too. Had he called a leadership contest I doubt very much he'd have made it on the ballot.
