  • Deconstructing Continental Philosophy's Impact on Modern Education.

    At the end of the 19th Century, a split in Philosophy emerged that persists today. The Analytic tradition, led by Frege, Russell, and Wittgenstein, emphasized clarity, logical rigour, and formal methods in language analysis. By contrast, Continental theorists such as Husserl and Heidegger went to a very different place. They focused on human experience and took on broader cultural and political themes, giving us terms like existentialism, structuralism, post-structuralism, and postmodernism. In this final episode of the season, we explore the impact of Continental Theorists. What influence have these radical thinkers, whose writings often seem almost wilfully obscure, had on education and learning?

  • Learning in the post-Freudian age

    At the beginning of the 20th Century, fundamental assumptions about the nature of the mind and how it learns were completely overturned by a new set of ideas. Pre-eminent among the thinkers and practitioners who spearheaded a new field of study called psychoanalysis was the Austrian neurologist, Sigmund Freud. Following his death in 1939, Freud’s followers continued and developed his ideas, and psychoanalysis grew ever more influential, not just in the treatment of mental illness, but in government, business, philosophy and education. Though most of Freud’s theories have since been discredited, he casts a long shadow. But what do the psychoanalysts have to say to our own time about the mind and learning?

  • Is the mind flatter than we thought?

    This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the ‘Performance Journey Goes Dutch’ conference in Ermelo, The Netherlands, organised by Xpertise Learning. Donald and John explore a group of theorists who are giving us a new picture of how we think and learn that is distinctively different from what came before. They’re the Connectionists, and they see the brain as flatter than was previously thought, constantly trying to predict what will happen next, and to improvise a response. But what are the implications for learning of this New Psychology?

  • Second of a two-part series on the invention of writing and the impact of literacy on learning.

    Last time, Donald and John discussed how writing was invented in the ancient world. This time the focus moves to the 20th Century, and thinkers such as Walter Ong and Eric Havelock who revived interest in the pre-literate world of oral culture. Their work raised themes that were to become ever more resonant with the rise of the internet and AI.

  • First of a two-part series on the invention of writing and the impact of literacy on learning.

    Our ability to learn from written texts is something we take for granted. But like every other technology that humans use, writing had to be invented. Notational signs used next to images of animals are seen in cave paintings from as early as 35,000 BCE. Actual writing is first recorded in Uruk (modern day Iraq), at the end of the 4th millennium BCE, but seems to have been independently invented in at least three other places; Egypt, China and Mesoamerica. It proved a pivotal moment in human history, marking the transition from prehistory to the historical record. In the centuries that followed, writing was to become central to learning. But the earliest uses to which it was put might be very different to what you would expect.

  • Theories and critiques of leadership learning: the attribution problem and its consequences.

    This episode, the first of a new season, our sixth, focuses on leadership. Leadership, thought since ancient times to be critical to the destiny of nations, has long been a feature of military training and elite education. But its arrival as a staple of workplace training was relatively recent. Donald and John explore the work of the thinkers who, from the middle of the Twentieth Century onwards, developed theories and critiques of leadership learning.

  • The theory behind generative AI as a transformational tool for learning.

    This episode, the last in the current season, was recorded at the Online Educa conference in Berlin and focuses on Generative AI. Since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the learning world has been mesmerized by the potential benefits and dangers of this new form of AI. Unlike other forms, it can be accessed by non-technical people, in natural language conversations. Donald and John explore its roots in neuro-biological research, as well as the learning theory underpinning Donald's belief that it is potentially the most powerful technology invented so far for learning.

  • We don't need no education?

    This episode explores the transformative ideas of three influential late 20th-century educational theorists. Each began with a flourishing career in teaching but ultimately left the classroom behind, driven by a growing disenchantment with the educational system. Their collective experiences culminated in an incisive critique of conventional schooling, sparking calls in some quarters for comprehensive educational reform. But compelling as their arguments were, did they achieve any enduring impact on the landscape of education?

  • The pioneers of alternative education systems.

    This episode covers a group of 20th Century thinkers and educationalists in both Northern and Southern hemispheres who developed a variety of alternative visions for schools. Inspired by enlightenment figures like Rousseau, and the German Idealists who came after them, they nevertheless reacted against the strict and regimented so-called ‘Prussian’ system of education that had become the mainstream. They incorporated ideas from the burgeoning field of psychology, and also, in the case of Rudolph Steiner, a strong element of mysticism.

  • Marxism and education.

    This episode examines the impact on learning of a thinker, Karl Marx, who had a revolutionary effect on the world in general. In the name of Marx and his collaborator Engels, politicians of the 20th Century created regimes that were utopian in some cases, highly repressive and even murderous in others. Meanwhile, the heirs to Marx’s intellectual tradition fleshed out Marxism as a rich and powerful explanatory system. And though controversial to this day, Marxist thought has had an enduring effect on learning and education.

  • How German philosophy created the modern education system. Why is education the way it is? Why does the bell ring to signal the end of a lesson? Who invented teacher training? Why do universities combine teaching with research? It might surprise you to learn that the answers to these questions can be found in the writings of early 19th Century German philosophers. This episode looks at the German Idealists, a group including Kant and Hegel, inspired by the Enlightenment and the spirit of Romanticism following the French Revolution, who set the mould for the education systems of today. 00:00 - Intro 00:58 - Introducing the German Idealists 05:59 - Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) 18:45 - Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776 - 1841) 26:29 - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 – 1831) 45:20 - Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1825) 57:34 - Summing up

  • In this episode, the first of a new season, we look at a group of thinkers who have focused on how we should evaluate the impact of the learning. Beginning with Donald L Kirkpatrick in the 1950s, they have given us models of how to measure and evaluate it. However, for all the work that has gone into this area, the general perception has long been that organisations simply do not evaluate anything like enough. There are indications, however, that this picture is changing, and interest in evaluation is on the up. With the advent of powerful new AI tools, could we be on the brink of a breakthrough? 00:00:00 - Intro 00:00:55 - Introducing Evaluation 00:13:52 - Donald L.

However, it became a strong influence on educationalists in the capitalist West during the latter half of the 20th Century, and thinkers such as Piaget and Vygotsky are popular on teacher training courses to this day.

  • This episode covers a sizeable sweep of history, from the perhaps misnamed Dark Ages and the Islamic Golden Age, on through the Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment. As the Christian and Islamic faiths spread, learning became a powerful tool of religion – and Religious Educators, in their turn, changed the shape of learning. Introducing Religious Educators – 1:18 Augustine of Hippo (354-430) – 4:58 Al-Ghazali (1058-1111) – 10:23 Ibn Tufayl (1106-1185) – 13:18 Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556) – 17:22 Martin Luther (1483-1546) – 25:06 John Calvin (1509-1564) – 32:32 Desiderius Erasmus (1466 – 1536) – 39:23 John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) – 46:25 Summing Up – 52:49 The Blog that started it all: https://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/2021/09/these-were-written-as-quick-readable.html St Augustine bit.ly/2Gm22q1 Al-Ghazzali bit.ly/3kN3yGI Ibn Tufayl bit.ly/3m5UtYU Ignatius bit.ly/2v7D76V Luther bit.ly/2GcJvMH Calvin bit.ly/2Ro2MRJ Erasmus bit.ly/3HmSc5e Comenius https://donaldclarkplanb.blogspot.com/2022/07/comenius-1592-1670.html

  • Once the stuff of science fiction, Artificial Intelligence is now a part of everyday life. But the story of how it came into being is not often told. This episode reveals its roots in neuropsychology and observations of the physical processes in the brain that lead to learning. The theorists who Donald and John discuss began their work at a time when behaviorism, which by and large disouraged attempts to look within the mind, dominated academic psychology. But despite a few 'winters', AI has developed to the point where it is now all-pervasive, and a driving force of change in learning. 1:20 Introducing AI Learning 8:06 Eric Kandel (1929 - ) 13:29 Donald Olding Hebb (1904 – 1985) 23:29 Warren Sturgis McCulloch (1898 – 1969) & Walter Pitts (1923 – 1969) 37:37 Frank Rosenblatt (1928 – 1971) 44:16 David Everett Rumelhart (1942-2011) & Geoffrey Everest Hinton (1947–) 57:06 Demis Hassabis (1976–) 1:07:23 Summing Up Read Donald's book, Artificial Intelligence for Learning: https://www.koganpage.com/product/artificial-intelligence-for-learning-9781789660814 Kandel bit.ly/3oiiYDo Hebb bit.ly/3kq3z2A McCulloch & Pitts bit.ly/3kn6Fo8 Rosenblatt bit.ly/31PZmih Rumelhart & Hinton bit.ly/3bXU3zd Hassabis bit.ly/3qrYgmT
