“There is a teacher shortage in this country, but if a physicist asked my advice on becoming a teacher, I would have to say: don’t. Don’t unless you want to watch a subject you love dismantled.

I am a young and once-enthusiastic physics teacher. I despair at what I am forced to teach. I have potentially thirty years of lessons to give, but I didn’t sign up for this — and the business world still calls. There I won’t have to endure the pain of trying to animate a crippled subject.

“It is only 30 years ago but it seems like a different geological age when chief inspector of schools Sheila Browne could tell Labour prime minister James Callaghan: ‘What are you doing interfering in education? This is none of your business.’”

“It corrupts education by twisting its purpose – from the intellectual emancipation of the child through the transmission of knowledge, to the attempt to create responsible citizens and workers, with the correct skills, attitudes and opinions. By using knowledge in an instrumental way, it devalues its importance.”

Opvoeding of onderwijs?

• David Perks (science teacher, South London), ‘We don’t need no thought control’, Spiked, 21 February 2005

“Tackling the poor behaviour of pupils has always been a function of schools. Yet to make behaviour the central focus of education policy makes it clear that politicians have no real interest in education for its own sake. The collapse of belief in the intrinsic value of subject knowledge has created a vacuum at the centre of education policy into which politicians can bring their agenda. It is revealing that the Tomlinson Report published last year suggested reducing the core content of GSCEs dramatically, and emphasised work-based learning as opposed to academic study. Tomlinson is just reflecting the educational establishment’s lack of a positive vision of what education can achieve. In this climate it is not surprising that teachers hold little authority over young people.”

“Zusammengefaßt lautet die Erkenntnis: Lernen ist die aktive Auseinandersetzung eines Individuums mit der Welt und den Dingen mit dem Ziel, ein Konstrukt aufzubauen, das das Individuum in einen stabilen Zustand versetzt. Oder, um es mit den Worten Jean Piagets zu sagen: „Die Intelligenz organisiert die Welt, indem sie sich selbst organisiert.“
(Glasersfeld 1997, S. 51)

Es sieht so aus, daß die Kombination des hier beschriebenen Paradigmenwechsels in der Didaktik mit der modernen Multimedia-Technologie uns in naher Zukunft neue spannende und sehr effiziente Lernerfahrungen bieten wird. Vor dem Hintergrund der immer kürzer werdenden Halbwertzeit der Nutzbarkeit des erworbenen Wissens und der Notwendigkeit des lebenslangen Lernens (life long learning) scheint dies auch dringend notwendig zu sein.”

Das Amt für Schule möchte mit der Fachtagung Gelegenheit zu einem intensiven Austausch über den aktuellen Stand der fachdidaktischen Diskussion und über die Praxis an den Schulen geben. Gleichzeitig wird auf der Tagung eine neu erschienene Broschüre vorgestellt, die Projekte, Beispiele und Ideen zum Thema veranschaulicht. In ihrer Rede machte Pape deutlich, wie wichtig mehr Anwendungsorientierung und Schülerorientierung im Unterricht sei. Die Schulen müssten "neue Wege zum neuen Lernen gehen", einer dieser Wege sei das neue Lernen in der Berufsorientierung.” www.hamburg.de/Behoerden/Pressestelle/Meldungen/tagesmeldungen/2001/april/w15/mo/bsjb09.htm

“Die internationale Erschlieβung einer bisher vernachlässigten Grundform menschlichen Lernens für das lebenslange Lernen aller.” (landenvergelijkingen, Europese politiek)

“Der EU-Gipfel vom März 2000 in Lissabon hat zwei neue Anstöße zur europaweiten Anerkennung von weitgehend informell erworbenen Kompetenzen gegeben: Er beschloss die Einführung eines „European Diploma for Basic Information-Technology Skills“ und die Entwicklung eines gemeinsamen europäischen Formats für Lebensläufe zur Erleichterung grenzüberschreitender Bewerbungen und Beschäftigungen. Dabei sollen diese Lebensläufe gezielt Auskünfte enthalten über gemeinsam für wichtig gehaltene Kenntnisse und Kompetenzen, d. h. sie sollen Elemente eines Portfolio aufnehmen.

Auch der Europarat hat in einem großen internationalen Projekt „Education for Democratic Citizenship“ (1997-2000) die verschiedensten Formen politischer Bildungsarbeit diskutiert und evaluiert. Dabei ergab sich als eine „surprising conclusion“, dass formales Lernen in Schulen den geringsten Effekt für die erstrebte politische Bildung hat und „that social and political skills are best formed through experiential learning and informal curriculum“(Council of Europe: Education for Democratic Citizenship – a lifelong perspective. Strasbourg Juni 2000, S. 39)”. (p. 75, 76)

The Education System in Finland

• The Education System in Finland (2004/05)

“The school system and, subsequently, compulsory education were reformed in the 1970s: the previous folk school, civic school and lower secondary school were replaced by a nine-year comprehensive school offering general basic education. At the same time, upper secondary school was separated from secondary school to form a distinct form of institution. The transition into the comprehensive school was carried out gradually between 1972 and 1978.” (4.1. Historical Overview)

“The general studies test (physics, chemistry, history etc.) as part of the matriculation examination will be reformed as from the examination period of spring 2006. The general studies test will be reformed by dividing the current multi-subject test into several tests in individual subjects. Candidates may then complete one or several tests in general studies.” (5.2.1. Ongoing Debates in General Upper Secondary Education)

“2.5 Finland wordt door minister Vdb steeds als hét voorbeeldland inzake GOK beschouwd. Zo stelde Vdb: "Een land als Finland slaagt erin om vrijwel elke leerling op een hoog kwalificatieniveau te brengen" (DS, 14.01.05). Vdb vraagt zich echter niet af hoe het komt dat (ook) Finland goed scoort. De Finse onderwijskundige Thelma von Freymann wijt het succes van Finland onder meer aan de kleinschaligheid: "Scholen en klassen zijn klein. 40 % van alle scholen in het uitgestrekte Finland tellen minder dan 50 leerlingen. Massascholen met bv. 500 leerlingen zijn er bijna niet. Klassen tellen meestal maximaal 20 leerlingen. … Die kleinschaligheid maakt dat de sfeer op scholen in Finland heel familiaal is, leerkracht en leerlingen staan dicht bij elkaar." Eén van ons stelde bij het al gesignaleerde Finse schoolbezoek vast dat de scholen inderdaad kleinschalig zijn en dat er ook geen breed middenkader aanwezig is. In Finland gaat men ervan uit dat precies de kleinschaligheid de kwaliteit, het GOK-gehalte, de betrokkenheid van de leerkrachten, leerlingen en ouders … bevordert.” (p. 5; Gelijke Onderwijskansen – GOK)

“Maar de Finnen hebben er wel iets aan gedaan om het prestige van de leraar hoog te houden. Al sinds dertig jaar schrijft de wet voor dat elke leraar, ook die op de basisschool, een universitaire graad heeft. De meester is altijd master. ‘En masters worden gerespecteerd’, zegt Laukkanen. ‘Het zijn geen mensen die zitten te wachten op de adviezen van het ministerie of van de directeur; het zijn mensen die weten wat ze moeten doen.”

“Weinig landen hebben zo’n uitgebreid systeem van remedial teaching en speciaal onderwijs als Finland: 20 procent van de leerlingen krijgt ermee te maken. In de rijke landen is dat gemiddeld maar 6 procent. Vooral aan problemen met lezen, schrijven en spreken wordt veel aandacht besteed. Laukkanen: ‘Dat is de basis van het communiceren. Als je niet goed leest, kun je nooit goed kennis tot je nemen.’”

At the same time schools were given their first modern curriculum.”

“From 1 July 1991, the National Agency for Education has been responsible for approval of independent compulsory and special schools. Since 1 July 1993 pupils’ home municipalities are required to provide the funds for those attending an independent school and this has led to the establishment of many new schools.” (4.1.

De eerste categorie behaalde veruit de beste resultaten. Laatste twee bevatten veel elementen van Het Nieuwe Leren.

“It may come as a shock to the layperson, but school policymakers haven't adopted Direct Instruction because they have an aversion to scientific research. Educators throw their weight behind the latest fad, then refuse to abandon it when it doesn't work. … Eschewing basic skills, the failed programs tried to teach kids how to learn on their own, or tried to raise students' self-esteem (both categories, by the way, in which Direct Instruction students excelled). In these failed programs, students had even lower reading and math scores than the control groups that had no Follow Through program.” (Billy Tashman, ‘Our Failure to Follow Through’, voorlaatste alinea)

A nation at risk

• The National Commission on Excellence in Education, ‘A Nation At Risk. The Imperative for Educational Reform.’, a report to the nation and the Secretary of Education, United States Department of Education, April 1983.

“Our Nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world. This report is concerned with only one of the many causes and dimensions of the problem, but it is the one that undergirds American prosperity, security, and civility. We report to the American people that while we can take justifiable pride in what our schools and colleges have historically accomplished and contributed to the United States and the well-being of its people, the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people. What was unimaginable a generation ago has begun to occur–others are matching and surpassing our educational attainments.”

Size of high schools

(This issue summary was a collaborative effort between NCSL's Learn, Work and Earn Project and the Institute for Educational Leadership's Center for Workforce Development. It was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor.)

“In the last fifty years, the average size of high schools has changed from having fewer than 1,000 students to now having over 1,500 students. Research overwhelmingly supports the notion that student in kindergarten through high school are more successful when they attend small schools. In fact, smaller learning environments positively affect grades, test scores, attendance rates, graduation rates, drug and alcohol use, and school safety. Moreover, smaller, more personalized learning structures seem to provide the setting for other high school reforms, perhaps because change is easier to implement in a smaller setting.

“How do we insist on large-scale change of the dysfunctional American high school without abandoning our support for public education? Developing and creating strong small schools, like those described here, is a place to start. These schools offer the best of public education— commitment to enable all students to reach high standards—while providing choice among excellent educational options. All options would be dedicated to serving the individual needs of each student while ensuring that all students graduate high school prepared for college.”, p. 16

Size of schools

“In 1973, economist E.F. Schumacher wrote Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered. Modern business and industry thinkers understand the virtues of smallness, but in education we still assume that newer and bigger must be better. Many people also believe that more money will automatically yield better academic results.”

“The main argument used to justify large schools is that they can be better supplied with resources such as consultants, guidance councillors, librarians, and computers. But these resources are not necessarily beneficial. For example, there is growing evidence that computers don’t help, and can hinder, education.”

Now he's put that unique experience to polemical use: this is his hugely well-informed and highly opinionated dissertation on the state of the UK's education system.”

Brian Cox, Literacy is not enough

• Brian Cox, ‘Literacy is not enough: essays on the importance of reading’, 1999

“The last two decades have witnessed a considerable reaction to the progressive utopianism of the 1960s. In education debates all over the English-speaking world, the talk is now of competition, back to basics, league tables, the demands of the market. This reaction has gone too far. Children need to be helped not only to achieve basic literacy but to read "critically," to discriminate, to evaluate, to enjoy great literature. It is not enough to help children to achieve literacy if this simply means they read only sufficiently well to be seduced by advertisers and tabloid newspapers. The essays in this book are by people engaged in the "promotion" of English, be they primary teachers or university lecturers, novelists or poets, publishers or social commentators, politicians or professors.”

[Alain Planche, ‘Het onderwijsbedrog. De georganiseerde vernietiging van ons onderwijssysteem door de doctrine van de (in)competentie.’, 2012] 

“La doctrine qui a présidé à la destruction organisée de l’école républicaine, dont les principes ne subsistent plus qu’à l’état d’incantations, ne repose en effet sur aucune assise rationnelle. Il s’agit même d’une véritable mystification puisque ces fameuses compétences évaluables n’ont aucune existence vérifiable, que ce soit dans les enquêtes internationales comme PISA ou dans les évaluations nationales de la direction statistique du ministère.

Née d’une union contre-nature entre des néolibéraux, dont l’objectif est de « marchandiser » l’éducation, et des défenseurs de la démocratisation de l’école, la doctrine n’a conduit qu’à une dévalorisation intrinsèque des diplômes et à la conservation artificielle dans le système des élèves en échec. En succombant à la tentation, redoutée par Bourdieu et Passeron dans Les héritiers, « d’utiliser l’évocation du handicap social comme alibi ou excuse, c’est-à-dire comme raison suffisante d’abdiquer les exigences formelles du système d’enseignement », les défenseurs de la démocratisation ont simplement contribué à l’élimination de l’élitisme républicain comme principe régulateur.”

“Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt, former Senior Policy Advisor in the U.S. Department of Education, blew the whistle in the `80s on government activities withheld from the public.

In this book you will discover:
– how good teachers across America have been forced to use controversial, non-academic
– how "school choice" is being used to further dangerous reform goals, and how home schooling and private education are especially vulnerable.
– how workforce training (school-to-work) is an essential part of an overall plan for a global economy, and how this plan will shortcircuit your child's future career plans and opportunities.
– how the international, national, regional, state and local agendas for education reform are all interconnected and have been for decades.

Diane Ravitch, Left Back: A Century of Battles over School Reform

• Diane Ravitch, ‘Left Back: A Century of Battles over School Reform', 2000

“In Left Back, Diane Ravitch explodes pervasive myths of how American schools developed in the last hundred years: "The conventional story of the twentieth century told by historians of education is about the heroic advance of the progressive education movement, how it vanquished oppressive traditionalism in the classroom, briefly dominated American schools, then lost its vitality and withered away in the mid-1950s." Ravitch, herself an eminent historian of education and the author of The Great School Wars, calls this so much malarkey. She reveals how an endless wave of reforms prevented schools from doing what they were built to do: educate children.”

E.D. Hirsch, Jr., The Schools We Need: And Why We Don't Have Them

• E.D. Hirsch, Jr., ‘The Schools We Need: And Why We Don't Have Them’, 1996 “For over fifty years, American schools have operated under the assumption that challenging children academically is unnatural for them, that teachers do not need to know the subjects they teach, that the learning “process” should be emphasized over the facts taught. All of this is tragically wrong. Renowned educator and author E.D. Hirsch, Jr. argues that, by disdaining content-based curricula while favoring abstract – and discredited – theories of how a child learns, the ideas uniformly taught by our schools have done terrible harm to America’s students. Instead of preparing our children for the highly competitive, information-based economy in which we now live, our schools’ practices have severely curtailed their ability, and desire, to learn.” (back cover)

"Where do you work?" "At Sudbury Valley School." "What do you do?" "Nothing."

“Why not let each person make their own decisions about their use of their own time? This would increase the likelihood of people growing up fulfilling their own unique educational needs without being confused by us adults who could never know enough or be wise enough to advise them properly.

So I am teaching myself to do nothing, and the more I am able to do it, the better is my work. Please don't draw the conclusion that the staff is superfluous. You might say to yourself that the children almost run the school themselves, so why have so many staff, just to sit around and do nothing. The truth is that the school and the students need us. We are there to watch and nurture the school as an institution and the students as individuals.“

Campaign for Real Education

• Campaign for Real Education

“The Campaign for Real Education was formed in 1987 by 14 parents and teachers, all of whom were concerned about falling standards and damaging changes in state education which were being forced through without any evidence to support them. Since then, the Campaign has been contacted by thousands of parents, teachers and academics with similar concerns. We now have a nationwide network of supporters and important links with like-minded people in other countries such as America, Australia, Japan and Switzerland.“

Parents And Teachers for Real Education (PATRE)

• Parents And Teachers for Real Education (PATRE) – religieus

“Change seems to be the order of the day in Irish schools. The whole educational system in Ireland is undergoing a radical transformation – a new education act, a network of centres to re-educate the nation's teachers, and a new curriculum to equip our children for the new Europe. The traditional national school, once so highly regarded, is now considered rigid, sectarian and favouring the advantaged. The model school of the future will be child-centred, attentive to the needs of the whole person, and a reflection of modern Ireland at "ease with itself ".

“A new Education Act gives the Minister of Education control over every other aspect of school life, something that never existed up to now. The Dept. of Education and the NCCA are redesigning the curricula for primary and postprimary schools. At the same time a network of teachers centres is retraining teachers to implement the new programmes.”

“Überlebensgroß erscheint auf dieser Bühne das Schülersubjekt. Während Bildung in einer heute fast schon vergessenen Tradition das Subjekt gerade in der Auseinandersetzung mit der Objektwelt sich formen lassen wollte, will der pädagogische Konstruktivismus diese Spannung aufheben und seine ganze Aufmerksamkeit auf den Subjektpol richten. Die Welt außerhalb des Ichs kommt nur in den Blick als Quelle von Perturbationen (Verwirrungen, Störungen = die Red.), die den einzelnen zur Produktion immer neuer Mutmaßungen veranlaßt. Diese 'Konstruktionen' sind es nun, die im Vordergrund des didaktisch-methodischen Interesses stehen. Zu beurteilen sind sie nicht in der Dimension von 'richtig' oder 'falsch', sondern nach ihrer Brauchbarkeit und Nützlichkeit ('Viabilität'). Aufgabe des Lehrers im Unterricht ist es dann nur noch, die Schüler zu möglichst vielen viablen Konstruktionen anzustiften und den unendlichen Austausch darüber zu organisierend.”

• Franse Refondation-école

“Naar aanleiding van de Franse presidentsverkiezingen lanceerde de Franse Refondation-école een manifest over de lamentabele toestand van het Franse onderwijs dat door honderden onderwijsmensen ondertekend werd.”

“In Frankrijk verschenen de voorbije jaren tientallen boeken en honderden bijdragen over de afbraak van het onderwijs. Laurent Lafforgue, een eminente Franse professor wiskunde, stelde voor om de leden van de pas opgerichte HCE (Haut conseil d’éducation) ook een aantal recente publicaties over ‘het verval van het Franse onderwijs’ te laten bestuderen en bespreken. Hij kreeg prompt zijn ontslag als lid van de HCE.”

Appel pour la refondation de l’école

• Appel pour la refondation de l’école

“Les causes internes de cette dégradation sont identifiées :

o. Depuis trente ans, les programmes de l’Ecole primaire se sont beaucoup appauvris sur l’essentiel, tout en affichant des ambitions démesurées sur l'accessoire. Une foule de sujets disparates, la pratique ludique des « nouvelles technologies » et la multiplication des activités périscolaires (prises sur le temps scolaire) empiètent gravement sur les apprentissages systématiques, en particulier en français et en calcul, qui sont les fondements indispensables de l'instruction (on est ainsi passé, en trente ans, de 15 à 9 heures de français par semaine au CP).
o. On a imposé, contre l'expérience des instituteurs, de nouvelles méthodes pédagogiques, fondées sur la « construction du savoir par l’élève », qui interdisent tout enseignement explicite, structuré et progressif.
o. On a dramatiquement baissé le niveau des exigences. Ainsi, au lieu de décider du passage ou non d’un élève dans la classe supérieure en fonction de son intérêt bien compris et de ses capacités à suivre, on pratique une politique de « flux ».

Les conséquences à long terme sont très graves :
 

o. Le déficit des connaissances fondamentales entrave lourdement la capacité à former sa pensée et à raisonner. Attention, effort intellectuel, mémoire sont affaiblis par manque d’exercice.
o. Les bases n’étant plus acquises, le travail des professeurs du secondaire devient de plus en plus difficile, voire impossible. Cette dégradation a gagné les universités, les classes préparatoires et les grandes Ecoles qui s’alarment elles aussi de la chute du niveau de connaissance et de maturité intellectuelle.”

Reconstruire l’école

• Reconstruire l’école

“En France, on écoute les routiers, les chauffeurs de bus, les médecins, les infirmières. Plus ou moins, certes. Moins que les journalistes (nul n’échappe au détail de leurs revendications, sur trois colonnes, quand il est question de supprimer tel abattement fiscal !) ; mais on n’écoute pas les professeurs. Il est vrai que les professeurs n’ont pas vocation à se faire entendre … en dehors des murs de la salle de classe.

Mais aujourd’hui, les professeurs sont précisément menacés dans leur identité — et dans leur intégrité ! C’est à la classe, aux disciplines (et, de ce fait, à la discipline) que l’on s’attaque, comme le vestige d'un passé dont on a décrété qu'il fallait faire table rase ! Les certitudes pseudo-scientifiques des experts, ainsi que la démagogie outrancière de ce ministre, sont en train de détruire les fondements de la relation pédagogique, de transformer la communauté scolaire en lieu d’affrontement psychologique, et même physique (ce qui en est une conséquence inévitable) ; bref, elles sont en train d’introduire, "en toute beauté", la violence dans l’école.

C’est pourquoi il nous faut désormais nous résoudre à sortir de nos classes, à mettre en commun nos analyses, nos expériences, et surtout nos témoignages.

Telle est l’ambition de Reconstruire l’école. Tel est le sens des états généraux de l'éducation qui en constituent l'objectif.” (‘Historique’, onderaan)

Sauver les lettres

• Sauver les lettres

“Sauver Les Lettres, collectif de professeurs d'abord en révolte contre la réforme Allègre, combat depuis mars 2000 les politiques Lang, Ferry et Fillon qui n'ont fait que la prolonger.

Ce collectif refuse la disparition de l'éveil à la pensée critique, et en particulier celle de l'étude des lettres comme discipline à part entière.

Dans le même sens, il combat plus globalement la dérive de l'enseignement induite par un constructivisme dominateur, pédagogie érigée en dogme par la loi Jospin de 1989, qui laisse à l'élève le soin d' "acquérir un savoir… par sa propre activité". Relayée par le libéralisme contemporain, cette dérive aboutit à la dégradation des programmes, à la réduction instrumentale des matières enseignées ou à leur éradication en tant que disciplines, autant de régressions qui dénaturent la mission de l'école et contre lesquelles Sauver Les Lettres réclame une véritable instruction émancipatrice pour tous.

Enfin, à l'opposé des politiques qui s'inscrivent depuis le ministère Allègre dans un même projet de commercialisation de l'Éducation (projet conforme aux directives de la Commission de Bruxelles et donc aux préconisations de l'OCDE), Sauver Les Lettres lutte pour l'organisation d'un enseignement public et laïque de qualité sur l'ensemble du territoire.”
