robertogrecoEducation is the one major activity in this country which is still in a crude handicraft stage. But the economic depression may here work beneficially, in that it may force the consideration of efficiency and the need for laborsaving devices in education. Education is a large-scale industry; it should use quantity production methods. This does not mean, in any unfortunate sense, the mechanization of education. It does mean freeing the teacher from the drudgeries of her work so that she may do more real teaching, giving the pupil more adequate guidance in his learning. There may well be an “industrial revolution” in education. The ultimate results should be highly beneficial. Perhaps only by such means can universal education be made effective.
Pressey, much like Sal Khan and other education technologists today, believed that teaching machines could personalize and “revolutionize” education by allowing students to move at their own pace through the curriculum. The automation of the menial tasks of instruction would enable education to scale, Pressey – presaging MOOC proponents – asserted.
We tend to not see automation today as mechanization as much as algorithmization – the promise and potential in artificial intelligence and virtualization, as if this magically makes these new systems of standardization and control lighter and liberatory.
And so too we’ve invented a history of “the factory model of education” in order to justify an “upgrade” – to new software and hardware that will do much of the same thing schools have done for generations now, just (supposedly) more efficiently, with control moved out of the hands of labor (teachers) and into the hands of a new class of engineers, out of the realm of the government and into the realm of the market."]]>factoryschools education history 2015 audreywatters edtech edreform mechanization automation algorithms personalization labor teaching howweteach howwelearn mooc moocs salkhan sidneypressey 1932 prussia horacemann lancastersystem frederickjohngladman mikecaulfield jamescordiner prussianmodel frederickengels shermandorn alvintoffler johntaylorgatto davidbrooksm monitorialsystem khanacademy stevedenning rickhess us policy change urgency futureshock 1970 bellsystem madrassystem davidstow victorcousin salmankhanhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:714d75ed82d1/The Original Factory Education Was a Personalized Learning Experiment | Hapgood2014-07-10T10:35:45+00:00
