Learning: Broad Perspective on Capability
Julian Stodd,
Jul 13, 2022
This is more on learning outcomes from Julian Stodd. As always, his method is mostly to categorize or classify the phenomenon on he is discussing, and what's interesting is not the classification itself but the thinking behind the classification. Why, I ask when I read him, would you classify things this way? Here he classifies outcomes variously as 'formal' and 'social', and in turn, 'specific', which is based on 'divergence' (or, I would say, the time-honoured technique of analysis and synthesis), and 'general', which is based on 'emergence'. But we need, I think, to be careful here. This strikes me as an unusual use of the terms 'specific' and 'general'. Though each is a form of generalization, abstractions (created through analysis) are not the same as patterns (that are emergent).
