TEORIES I PRÀCTIQUES CONTEMPORÀNIES EN EDUCACIÓ
Stephen C. Pepper – World Hypotheses, 1942
Pepper's Framework for teaching and learning
–Used for:
How to address the notion of teaching (How we see ourselves when we are teaching)→
Brings awareness to the teacher (Why we teach this way)→
Drift towards what methodology fits better→
Match a coherent evaluation of a subject→
How to address the notion of learning (How students might learn)→
–Will help to individualize answers according to the different World Views
–Will help students to know themselves so well as to adapt to methodologies
–Serves to look at the world (The class) from 4 different World Views
–The 4 different world views are 4 ways to solve some issues but each has the same value
–We can fit in one, two or a mix of this views, it depends on our personality
–We can fit in just one and we might label us as this view
–It's important to know what “we are”
Four world views
·Analysis into parts: Formism and mechanism
·Synthesis into wholes : Contextualism and organism
·Dispersive results: Formism and contextualism
·Integrative results: Mechanism and organism
FORMISM (form)
Essence, habit, ideal, model, norm, plan, similarity, tradition
–How are A and B similar to others?
MECHANISM (machine)
Amount, cause (effect), efficiency, frequency, location (time-space), parts, quantity, reduction
–How does this works?
CONTEXTUALISM (context)
Change, fusion, immediacy, novelty, relative. Vividness, whole
–How intense is the experience?
ORGANISM (organ)
Absolute, connection, fragment, integration(collaborative), resolution, synthesis, unity, whole
–How integrated is this?
