S.O.S ---- Can anyone help????
|
Hello everyone!!!! Well, with a few days on my hands cuz of National celebrations, I must admit I �m a work-a-holic!!! I �m preparing a workshop for my teachers to explain the easiest way possible, (yet again, and again) how we must adapt to competency-based teaching. This is a national requirement from the Board of Ed (SEP) in our country for all levels of learning, elementary, middle school and high school. But in my school, teachers don �t quite understand this concept yet. Any way, searching the internet for info, I came across a very interesting power point presentation, and besides the info on competences, names of the persons behind the theories are mentioned. One person is mentioned, whom I had not heard of before: JORDAN... this person has to do with significant learning. Chomsky, Piaget, Gardner were mentioned, just to name some... but, I had never heard of Jordan. I tried googling the name to see more information about him/her, so I myself can be more informed and be able to cite him/her, knowing who I �m talking about, but my search was useless without a first name. Has anyone heard of this person??? If so, please help me with a first name so I can find out more....
Thanks a bunch!!!

Could be M I Jordan he did some stuff on learning theory, though it is hard to get a good description of it off the net.
(I get the impression that he is more of a statistician than a psychologist though.) |

This is more or less what the PPT says about him, maybe this will help someone relate to whom this person is:
JORDAN: Characterizes the atmosphere which encourages significant learning based on the following: -Uses challenge as the main strentgh point -Error is not relevant -Learning is based on application and implementation (the ability to "do" is incorporated) -Skills are developed for solving future problems insofar the present ones are being solved.
�Sound complicated? LOL
Hope someone has an IDEA who this is! hehehehe.... or else I �ll just have to delete this part of the presentation, I don �t like including info I �m not sure about....
Hugs,

Any luck, anyone???
I �ll cross my fingers a little while longer, before I delete that part of the PPT...
Thank you Douglas for your post, I looked him up, but like you said, didn �t get anything really useful....
Hugs,
