The term EDUPUNK has launched the Jim Groom in his blog in May 2008 and has quickly impressed many educational theorists, groups, discussion lists, that is, non qui da noi, oramai un termine che ha preso il volo ed un concetto ampiamente dibattuto. Un vero e proprio "movimento".
Il New York Times lo ha definito "an approach to teaching that avoids mainstream tools like Powerpoint and Blackboard, and instead aims to bring the rebellious attitude and D.I.Y. ethos of ’70s bands like the Clash to the classroom.
Il movimento Edupunk nasce negli States come reazione ai programmi governativi di Bush di "normalizzare" l'uso didattico delle tecnologie impacchettandole in applicazioni chiuse ed avviando, in buona sostanza, un approccio commerciale all'educazione.
L'essenza filosofico-culturale del movimento Edupunk รจ stata ben sintetizzata da Stephen Downes :
- a reaction to the commercialization of learning;
- an attitude of making on their own (do-it-yourself)
- to think and learn for themselves
Related Concepts could include:
-
democratic education - education libertarian
-
self-directed learning - learner-centered education
- deschooling
In a recent series of video called Edupunk Battle Royale, EDUCAUSE has relaunched the debate by comparing / Tim Groom clash with Gardner Campbell, director of the 'Academy for Teaching and Learning at Baylor University. The battle is in progress.
I almost launched a group on FB ....
