Designing an Inquiry

• Ask, Seek, Change, Reimagine

GAFE is a portal for collaboration and sharing. Transparent and collaborative. Supportive critique.
We can never know if what we do is good teaching practice if no-one else can see it.  We will never have good teaching practice if we can never view it!

It must begin with the HUNCH which leads to DATA which leads to CHANGE!

Ideologies of Education: in search of the pedagogical sentiment
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I5vN9N2ug-a0pbnlQMhIztndpyCk36sQXCy3wEH-fCI/edit

Educational 'theories' are ideologies

1. Utopia - an imagined picture of an ideal society, motivational and emotional part.
2. Diagnosis - a description and analysis of the actual society
3. Strategy - the means to change the actual society into the ideal society
4. Collective -a social group that will carry out the change

There are three meta-ideologies in education

1. Socialization - adapting the child to society; imparting useful behaviours
• practical pedagogical sentiment
2. Acculturation - shaping the child's character in light of the values of the preferred culture
• intellectual
3. Individuation - fostering the autonomy and the authenticity of the child

• The Formula of teaching 

1. T + I + C + S = P
2. teacher + instruction + content + student = purpose

You must choose one of them

1. there is a contradiction between the educational means of the meta-ideologies
2. we must stick to one ideology
