To be specific the awareness came an year ago or so thanks to my mentor Mr Amol Padwad and my Marjon education. Now whenever I go to class all that awareness about learning just falls on me living me confused at times. I see how complicated the job of teaching is! It is exactly what Hoban said - a web. If you touch one you touch everything. I go to class highly motivated but the moment I'm in the faces of the students tell me that I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing. They want highly diluted content. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://krishnakalyan.blog.co.uk/2008/09/08/teaching-is-paniful-4699593/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:krishnakalyan.blog.co.uk,2007-05-27:/2007/05/27/flattening_of_education_scenario~2343285/KrishnaKalyan2007-05-27T16:31:21+02:002007-05-27T16:31:21+02:00 <p>Marketization / macdonaldization of universities, emphasis on competition over collaboration, intellect over intuition, the corruption of knowledge into information are all contributing to the loss of ‘undiscovered public knowledge’ (Barr: 2007). The idea of lifelong learning is not taking roots as it should is because of these reasons. Thinking has become has extremely professionalized and consequently theorized. A trend towards fitting in everything in a sort of formula – if you do this this will be the result or otherwise is on rise. All academic units are working like a road-roller flattening all the variety and diversity of public knowledge. The language and discourse of universities are surprisingly same all over the world.</p> <p>Krishna Kalyan Dixit<br> Plymouth</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://krishnakalyan.blog.co.uk/2007/05/27/flattening_of_education_scenario~2343285/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
