- W309647518 abstract "Three words used frequently in debates about education are actually clouding the issues rather than helping to clarify our thinking. Standardization is often confused with standards, though they aren't the same thing. Similarly, rigor is confused with relevance, and reformwith renaissance. Given the confusion these words cause, why do they persist? STANDARDIZATION VS. STANDARDS Standards and standardization are not the same. While they may have similar meanings when massproducing products, they are quite different when dealing with humans, who have an array of beginnings and equally varied dreams. We certainly need professionals to describe what's important to understand and to be able to do in the different subjects. It's equally necessary for cognitive scientists and pedagogy experts to describe developmentally appropriate approaches to success with that material. Educators respect professional standards as guides and goals for their work. Standards empower all students with equal opportunity to develop core understandings and methods of inquiry across disciplines. However, when we shift from standards to standardization, this laudable intent degenerates into a checklist to be tested at least cost. It's of little use to the solving, adaptation, and lifelong passion for innovation needed in a dynamic world. Standardization accelerates what developmental scientist Jean Piaget called the American problem of rushing students too fast through too much. It leaves less time for teachers to help students build useful, generative understandings. We know this. While basic skills can be reinforced through standardized repetition, higher-order thinking, creativity, and discovery are another matter. Heaven help us if standardization extends further into higher education, where advancing knowledge depends on discovery (some actually advocate this in the name of alignment). Educators already know individualization is the answer. But the factory model persists because individualization can be costly in time and money. RIGOR VS. RELEVANCE The second term is rigor (also known as high standards). The term is associated particularly with college readiness. The term might call up images of learned individuals from the 1800s, but today's rigor is imposed artificially--it requires only more algebra or more credits. While the mind needs information to build beyond the concrete to the abstract, much of the random information is actually screened out. …" @default.
