16 million for research into learning and the conditions that facilitate it. I’m not knocking research. It has it’s place but how much are we spending on how to support teachers and develop their abilities?
A quote:
UQ Deputy Vice Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) Professor Max Lu said he believed the centre would lead to “breakthrough science that would underpin a new paradigm for learning and teaching at all levels, from early childhood to adult education”.
Really, that would be amazing or will we end up just realising that good teachers are good teachers and bad teachers shouldn’t be allowed to teach. Not that difficult really. And, if we do find a new way to teach how will we support and train teachers to use this new technique. Hopefully not the same way we assist them with technology.
