J-ed Talks

I know, I know, it's all tricky!! But hear me out and what I have to say in this overly simplistic analysis. In essence, I want to point out that the difficulty in education, the real sticky bit that we have not quite figured out, is how the integration of knowledge in the individual cultivates a particular lens/identity (perhaps this is a spectrum?) in that individual.  How do we minimize the loss of learning/content?  How do we facilitate the integration of knowledge? (I.e., How do people learn and therefore how should we teach?) How do individuals develop identity?  All questions (above) with lots of answers. I'm not saying these fields are simple, I'm saying they are well developed and well understood, at least by some experts in the field.  What is missing is this: how does the individual move from being a novice to being an expert, not just in terms of technical knowledge and ability, but in terms of their dispositions and intuitions. Not sure if this makes sense to anyone besides me... hmmm... lol. s
