- W1930583064 abstract "Anyone who has done any teaching knows that no formula, no rule, no theory ever works perfectly with every group of students. Our present scientific deterministic paradigm is based on assumption that if you have preset goals written out and so-called appropriate teaching methods and evaluation processes, everything should work out. But, for most part, not everything is working out. The scientific deterministic paradigm seems to be creating passive, unresponsive, non-thinking, dependent students and robot-like domesticated, deprofessionalized teachers. Moreover, trivialization, moral callousness and preordained conversation is also part of this script. Gatto (1992) writes: Schools were designed by Horace Mann and by Sears and Harper of University of Chicago and by Thoendyke of Columbia Teachers college and by some other men to be instruments of scientific management of a mass proportion. Schools are intended to produce through application of formulas, formulaic, human beings whose behavior can be predicted and controlled. (p. 26) The scientific deterministic paradigm works from a position that says teaching is a simplistic, cause-effect system which can be easily manipulated, quantized and controlled. But, this is not true. For instance, every day teacher walks into classroom with his or her self concept, inner voice, psychological and physiological needs, teaching skills and attitude, and several more variables which influence his or her behavior for that day. Likewise, same can be said for students who have similar variables influencing their behavior for that day. The mix of teacher and student variables influence what happens on any particular day. And unpredictability of these variables is more generally rule than exception in classroom. That is challenge and joy of teaching, endless possibilities of this mix of teacher and student variables. As any teacher knows, on many days, he or she can have a super, well-prepared lesson and teaching is exceptional, but students learn nothing. Thomas Green (1971) shows philosophically that teaching does not necessarily cause learning: ... task-achievement way of viewing relation between teaching and learning shows that link must be same form of contingent connection. Still, it tends also to show that contingent relation cannot be understood on kind of activity that causes learning, because it can occur when there is no teaching. (p. 140) In a similar fashion, scientific deterministic paradigm influences how we view curriculum. Ronald Doll (1993) points out that scientific deterministic curriculum paradigm was an outgrowth of 1920's scientific management system which in turn influence curriculum developers: Management's task is to plan out fully at least one day in advance work each man is to do. Further, each workman must receive these work orders in writing and in detail everyday. These orders specify not only what is to be done but how it is to be done and exact time allowed for doing it. (p. 42) This pre-ordering of tasks by organizers for workers says Doll is the most permanent single element in modern scientific management, (p.42). Most importantly, as Doll also points out, Franklin Bobbitt, Elwood Cubberly, and W.W. Charters used this element when explaining how to design a curriculum. But now, efficiency paradigm which existed for decades in industry is presently crumbling with introduction of new forms of cooperative team and job motivation programs. However, scientific determnistic paradigm is alive and well in education. …" @default.
