Learning Without Limits
In our critique of "ability" and ability-based pedagogy (for full analysis, see Chapter 2 of Learning without Limits), we have focused on the consequences of ability-based judgements and practices for children's learning in schools. We have not engaged extensively with theories of "intelligence", per se. However, the alternative concept of "learning capacity" elaborated through our research (se...
متن کاملReification: a Marxist Perspective
The concept of reification is used by Marx to describe a form of social consciousness in which human relations come to be identified with the physical properties of things, thereby acquiring an appearance of naturalness and inevitability. This essay presents a systematic reconstruction of Marx's theory of reification, with an emphasis on the social-structural dimensions of the concept. This rec...

The continuing use of Georgescu-Roegen’s theory of entropy by neo-Malthusians as foundational support for their views comes as no surprise. Lately, those warning of a Hubbert Peak apocalypse have commonly drawn from the same conceptual well. But unfortunately even Marxist scholars still do the same. Paul Burkett’s recent paper supporting Georgescu-Roegen’s fourth law of thermodynamics attempts ...
متن کاملSquibs: Reliability Measurement without Limits
In computational linguistics, a reliability measurement of 0.8 on some statistic such as κ is widely thought to guarantee that hand-coded data is fit for purpose, with 0.67 to 0.8 tolerable, and lower values suspect. We demonstrate that the main use of such data, machine learning, can tolerate data with low reliability as long as any disagreement among human coders looks like random noise. When...
