RE: [xmca] Intensions and mistakes of simple transmission

["Monica Hansen" <monica.hansen@vandals.uidaho.edu>]

I appreciate the way you understood and expanded my requirements of the task
and brought in "as given" and "as received". The misunderstandings incurred
over the idea of communication--and with that teaching--as simple
transmission have contributed hugely to misinterpretation of standardized
testing and even the goal of curriculum and education itself. Lucky for us,
humans are inclined to be social and discursive and continue to negotiate
meaning :).

Seems like your message to lost in the flow, Monica.
Interesting that Bruner makes an argument about the co-occurrence of meaning
and phonemes.
Sounds a lot like what David Kel and Martin are discussing in today's
exchanges.

Your examples seem (to me) to fit together with the discussion of elicited
imitation of complex
sentences kids have already said but which they simply upon repitition out
of context.

Also, I think we have to argue that in the following snippet from your note
( "It is not just the requirements of the task or assignment that matter to
people of all ages) that the term, "requirements of the task" have to be
expanded to include the various factors
you mention vis a vis narrative -- the task "as given" is not, very often,
maybe never entirely, the "task as interpreted/received").

This distinction underpins a ton of misunderstandings based on standardized
testing.
Thanks for the pointers and for the very apt story about your coaching
experience -- if sad.
