Is there a potential problem being stored up for people if 'education' is tailored to fit into their cultural and personal preferences?
I agree that there is a problem in the way that education is tailored to fit into people's cultural and personal preferences as if people only had their own preferences in a course of what to do then they would maybe not learn all they should do or schoose not to learn something as it is boring however relevant to the course. I feel if education is tailored it could become narrow minded and people should learn about other people's cultures and beliefs to be able to understand other peoples cultures as we live in a multi cultural society tounderstand other peoples culture is important. If this does happen then I feel it will increase divides in society in schools. Does this mean that you would have to have seperate schools for people who are in different cultures? Which would cause racism and segregation.

The 'tailoring' that Prensky and others promote is not in terms of content though is it?
ReplyDeleteThey champion adjusting the delivery methods of education to suit the digital natives' preferences. My question is "what's wrong with that?"
