Making Pedagogical Adaptability Less Obvious

09 May 2016-Theory Into Practice (Routledge)-Vol. 55, Iss: 3, pp 207-216
TL;DR: The authors used post-structural philosophical ideas and some concepts at the intersections of social class and race to reinterpret Dylan Wiliam's conception of formative assessment to make pedagogical adaptability a bit less obvious.
Abstract: In this article, I try to make pedagogical adaptability a bit less obvious. In particular, I use some post-structural philosophical ideas and some concepts at the intersections of social class and race to re-interpret Dylan Wiliam's conception of formative assessment. I suggest that this interpretation can provide opportunities to resist the urge to treat adaptability as only a technical teaching practice; to experience adaptability as a dynamic, complicated, and reciprocal relationship between teacher and student, rather than something that only the teacher invokes; and to explore some of the complex ways in which adaptability is socially-classed in classrooms.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a comprehensive literature review of the empirical research studying adaptability across academic disciplines, and described how adaptive teaching is defined and conceptualized in the education research literature from 1975 to 2014, the methods used to study instructional adaptations, and the results of these studies.
Abstract: Researchers recognize adaptive teaching as a component of effective instruction. Educators adjust their teaching according to the social, linguistic, cultural, and instructional needs of their students. While there is consensus that effective teachers are adaptive, there is no consensus on the language to describe this phenomenon. Diverse terminology surrounding the same phenomenon impedes effective communication and comprehensive understanding of this important aspect of classroom instruction. Moreover, researchers have studied this phenomenon using a variety of methods, in various disciplines, with different results. Therefore, our research team completed a comprehensive literature review of the empirical research studying adaptability across academic disciplines. In this article, we describe how adaptive teaching is defined and conceptualized in the education research literature from 1975 to 2014, the methods used to study instructional adaptations, and the results of these studies.

  • ...In phenomenological philosophy—beginning with Husserl (1936/1970) and extending through Heidegger (1927/1998), Merleau-Ponty (1947/1964), and Sartre (2002; to name a few)—intentionality has been used to describe the way in which humans are connected meaningfully with the world. These phenomenological philosophers have argued that intentionality, phenomenologically speaking, is not about the intentions (as in purposes or objectives) of individuals, but the ways meanings come to be in relations. In this way, intentionality means those in-between spaces where individuals find themselves—intentionally—in relations with others in the world. However, these in-between spaces are not objects that can be poked and prodded, nor can they be observed in the traditional sense. They must be philosophized—conceptualized, discussed, opened-up, and contemplated. So, key to an understanding of intentionally as a phenomenological concept is the idea of connection—and that the meaningfulness of living resides in the connectivity among humans, things, ideas, concepts, conflicts, etc., not in humans or in things or in ideas alone. Connection, although conceived differently, is important in post-intentionality as well. In Vagle (2015), I stressed that the conceptual move to post-intentionality is not meant to suggest a departure from, or an opposition to, intentionality....

Abstract: Webinar 1: An Introduction to Differentiated Instruction This webinar will introduce a framework for thinking about and planning differentiated instruction. In addition, the session will emphasize the critical role of a teacher’s “mindset” in establishing a positive learning environment in which students trust the teacher’s skill and will in providing support for learning success and in which students learn to work together as a community of learners or team in which all members understand how to contribute to their own learning success and the learning success of their classmates.

Abstract: The Primacy of Perception brings together a number of important studies by Maurice Merleau-Ponty that appeared in various publications from 1947 to 1961. The title essay, which is in essence a presentation of the underlying thesis of his Phenomenology of Perception, is followed by two courses given by Merleau-Ponty at the Sorbonne on phenomenological psychology. "Eye and Mind" and the concluding chapters present applications of Merleau-Ponty's ideas to the realms of art, philosophy of history, and politics. Taken together, the studies in this volume provide a systematic introduction to the major themes of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy.
