Footnotes and references for
Education and ISKCON: Some Reflections
from an Interested Observer
|
|
- 'Good', 'Bad' and similar adjectives are presented
in quotation marks because they are so highly subjective and subject,
therefore, to as many interpretations as there are readers of
this article.
- The term 'curriculum' means here the total educational
experience, not just the taught element. It includes, therefore,
the 'hidden' elements which derive from being part of a social
group, such as an ashram, even when no teaching is going on.
- The term 'ah-hah factor' is used in psychology
to describe this process of suddenly understanding knowledge which
has been acquired but not fully understood.
- Information on these developments can be obtained
from Rasamandala das at the Manor in England or from Kesava-devi
dasi in Belfast.
- Bhurijana dasa, The Art of Teaching,
VHE publications 1995
- References to Pakistan are to a four-year project
for which I was responsible, in which teachers were trained to
use interactive learning methodologies, rather than the traditional
lecturing which they had used for years.
- The Highscope project was developed in the United
States but used in many other countries. Its essential process
is the involvement of children in the planning, implementation
and evaluation of agreed projects.
- In-tray exercises involve students having to
deal with the types of problems which might arrive in their office
in-tray. They need to make decisions about them, and these are
then reflected upon in a group session. Simulations are exercises
in which a group is presented with a problem situation and members
are required to simulate the discussions which would be required
in real life to achieve a resolution.
