- Description
- A 1967 cartoon strip by Bud Blake shows a young boy, Tiger, telling his friend that he has taught his dog, Stripe, to whistle. “I don’t hear him whistling,” says the friend. Tiger explains “I said I taught him. I didn’t say he learned it.” Understanding education in terms of what it is that teachers do at the expense of a focus on how students learn has long been criticized. In 1916, Dewey was calling for more democratic approaches to education which took the student’s context into account. In 1968, Freire called for a major shift away from the “banking model” of education to one that recognized the student’s role in co-constructing knowledge. Despite the long history of such calls, transmission modes of teaching endure. It is thus unsurprising that calls for student-centered learning (SCL) are widespread.
