The Secret to Fixing Education Standards | Nick Gibb

[@ProfessorStudy]

I just taught a year-1 kid multiplication in one hour, two-row multiplication table included. His sister is in year-2 and I used also only one hour to introduce her decimal numbers together with their additions and subtractions. It all boils down to knowing how to teach, as for many other branches of knowledge.

Thank you very much from Scotland. Just goes to show there's still considerable potential in the UK, when looked at in detail. Excellent.

I have been a teacher in the United States for 50+ years. My university teacher training was almost worthless. The best thing I did was study Physiological and Cognitive Psychology (how the brain works) and then Human Language Development. Yes, teaching phonics is a necessity for reading and spelling, but kids also need to know about the 6 syllable types in English. We know that math is performed in the parietal lobe of the brain, the sense of touch, so young children need to do lots of counting with their fingers to develop "number sense" and to see and experience the 4 math operations. When kids lack number sense they will never understand higher math like algebra.

As with everywhere else, in the critical area education, leftist ideology has done huge damages. As usual, Victoria leads the way to the bottom of the pond.

[@zackbarkley7593]

Yeah that's total BS. The country is far right when it comes to economics and things which affect real people's lives inc luding teachers and students. The best educated kids in the world come from socialist...near communist...Finland. There solutions are simple. Well paid and respected teachers with advanced degrees, high teacher to student ratios, and emphasis on instruction over competition, grades, and standardized test...putting the responsibility for teaching with the teacher. Capitalusts take the lazy way out always. That strategy has never worked and will never work for students. If you want well educated kids, you need to do that on a level playing field and with a well funded structure. That's socialism. If you want to double down on our current system where property taxes fund schools so only the rich get a good public education, and emphasize competition over cooperation so corporations can find the next psychopath to run Microsoft, while demoralizing and disenfranchising the rest of our kids, you'll get what you deserve.

There is no left or right moron, they are career politicians considering their next corporate job(highly paid) and the same bureaucrats

⁠@@zackbarkley7593you clearly don’t understand what left or right is. You also clearly know nothing about Australia’s economic policy. Our economy is heavily regulated, we have a mixed economy, heavy taxation and a lot of public sector spending, and we rank as not much more free economically than Finland so no, Finland is definitely not Socialist on your own terms. It is only able to fund its welfare programs because it has a homogenous culture that reduces the number of people on welfare, and it’s government has a lot of taxation revenue due to its strong capitalist economy. Even though Finland’s education is nationalised, is has a lot more market mechanisms than does that of Australia. Australia has also been spending more per student on education and average results have been falling. The public sector is not the answer, leave it to the market and deregulate so that we can get innovative and effective education that is personalised and fulfilling for children.

Mehodology in teaching, syllabus of subject, etc are all important aspects of improving the standard of education in schools, one aspect often overlooked is to inculcate the love of education in the family through Involving the parent in the child education, which is the key to success in most Asian cultures.

[@JonathanSmith-kz2jo]

Can you elaborate. That sounds very interesting.

[@yttean98]

@@JonathanSmith-kz2jo, we work as a family. My wife and I are aware of my child's education progress. If he or she falls behind, we will help him or her through extra help, e.g., tuition. Also, they participate in sports (many hours per week) in addition to their education. As you can see, this takes a lot of our time. Also, we do apply pressure on our children who can take it. Both did very well in school and university and also in life. BTW, my wife is a tiger mum, but that's optional. You may not believe in pressurising your children, think again SOME pressure (not excessive and varies with each person) is good for them because in life everyone is faced with pressure all the time.

[@JonathanSmith-kz2jo]

@@yttean98 That sounds fantastic. How do you manage work and family.

The introduction of differenet handwriting in each state, none of which look like print in a book or on a screen, coincides with the decline in reading skills in Australia.

S'pore and Shanghai did well in PISA because of high doses of tuition and pressure. If you exclude these students, the scores will fall dramatically. Hence, don't take these results seriously, and don't copy others blindly.

[@korneyhebi5287]

Chinese and most East Asian languages involves mainly character recognition and rote learning, no phonics involved. You need to recognise, learn and remember at least 2000 characters to be considered literate. Most Children start this process at 3 years old so they learn how to accumulate knowledge from being very young. I do think this primes the brain to remember facts which then enables, critical thinking and higher understanding.

[@tarlkoroban3733]

Gibbs say 70x30 should be performed by taking away the zeroes multiplying 7x3 to get 21 then adding the two zeroes to get 2100 and denigrates the grid method which shows the actual understanding of what is happening when multiplying these two numbers. Gibbs should choose 74x26 next time and show how his 'algorithm' works then.

[@tonidantonio9877]

The classses should be smaller up to grade 4, that way they can assess elements of speech, sight, hearing and other anomalies. That’s what they used to do in 1960’s. And remove the sexual ideologies and stop blaming the parents. The education system and governments have a lot to answer. Little bullies become big workplace bullies. Kids disrupt because they probably can’t communicate or articulate that they have a problem…. Start listening…

It is the time the parent puts in I think is the reason for success or not.
