Searching for Disruptive Pedagogies: Matching Pedagogies to the Technologies

(Im)material Pedagogies

Rowena Harris’ recent work presents carefully composed constellations of materials and almost-repeated images. These constellations inhabit both physical, tangible space (in the form of sculptural elements and digital prints) and digital realms in the form of a video reel and an e-book. Welded steel lines extend from the gallery floor and walls, providing a formal and physical support structure...

There is a similar principle for the understanding of professions: if you wish to understand why professions develop as they do, study their nurseries, in this case, their forms of professional preparation. When you do, you will generally detect the characteristic form...

Management Fads, Pedagogies, and Other Soft Technologies

We present a model for the diffusion of management fads and other technologies which lack clear objective evidence about their merits. The choices made by non-Bayesian adopters reflect both their own evaluations and the social influence of their peers. We show, both analytically and computationally, that the dynamics lead to outcomes that appear to be deterministic in spite of being governed by...
