It is also a mechanized term that I draw caution to. People are not machines though much of our educational system would have you believe it.

Pedagogical failing of our institutions and assessments that often check-boxes “critical thinking” to some semi-arbitrary standard/rubric. Too often in STEM courses.

Going the other way: too unstructured, particularly for collab grading systems. Too much freedom, choice, and agency can also induce choice paralysis and poor self-regulation for new student practitioners. I’ve been advocating for structured flexibility and the power of default choices.

It’d definitely make you very pope-ular with the audience!

In short, I have black cousins and the topic of inheritance came up. 😬 It was appropriately intercepted and explained.

Ohhh I’ve got a “grandma, really?!” story about one of these…

Yep our AI community and Reimagining Grading community are mega hits!
Fingers crossed on the low commitment ones!

Yep. I’m staring at a low enrollment 1 hour workshop right now. I’m supposed to give.
Discussing shifting gears to more community based events like reading groups or bring your own lunches.

I’m seeing a little decrease in 1-off events and more attendance thus far in our communities. I think folks are seeking more regular community interaction without, perhaps, as many obligations to do things beyond what they’re doing now.

Since you're at Boulder, check with your Digital Accessibility Office for potential solutions: www.colorado.edu/digital-acce...
I know they are working on it.

LaTeX does not create tagged PDFs and fails nearly every accessibility check our accessibility specialist has run on it....
Using \title{} and sections does not create the screen reader tags necessary.
It's an on-going project: www.latex-project.org/news/2024/07...

I love this!! Azaldúa is🔥I haven't read borderlands just yet as my library only carries it in Spanish which I don't know :(

Though at some point there might be axioms but that's a local-cultural thing

Yeah essentially!! Though I bet some Phil of science folks would argue with it.
Like with SDT. They have 6 hypothesis that they confirmed with evidence and used sense making to develop their theory off of it to model motivation. All with more observations and evidence

I'd say the Hypothesis is before you have the evidence and whatnot to support it

It's what you'd expect to happen.

Hmm. A scholarly/replicable/expected model of a complex system based on evidence, observations, and support?

Yes, thanks for sharing Juuso!! I’m really trying to push into this area myself :)

Agreed!! Even individual or cultural “means of knowing” affects assessment. It’s a fascinating subject.

@juusonieminen.bsky.social writes about identity formulation via assessments for students. It’s really interesting and true that’s the same for faculty. I think @jessicazeller.bsky.social writes a bit about it in her Pedagogy for End Times article too.

Do it!!! I’ll also fight on the hill of “the curricula is for who?!”

Bring back being "unproductive" and chatting socially!

Very likely that and frequently the lack of deep pedagogical discourses from which new ideas (even individualisticly) arise. How often do we sit down and really think about the root purposes?
comment in response to
post
That's probably an artifact of the English language lacking language for it with a more "is/isn't" structure...
