How far should we trust ‘edubooks’? Reading a slew of educational books may not be the best way to make your teaching truly evidence-informed, suggests Christian Bokhove

Excellent piece by @cbokhove.bsky.social. The bar for publication in education seems very low and it is not clear that some publishers ensure writers have the credibility to write authoritatively on their subject.

Almost didn't write it for that reason. 😂

Phenomenal.
High points Damaris and Hymn of the Haar.
New album work sounds very good.
Technical hitches a bit annoying.

Not even realistic to not expect mistakes. Content might be too easy if you have few mistakes. Even Rosenshine's dubious 80% implies mistakes. If design with variation and counter-examples *conflict* will happen, and it's for the better. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

Very excited to see Patrick Wolf soon.

This was phenomenal. Great voice, great variety in guitar playing, great lyrics. I channeled my George Boomsma in "two ships passing". I hope you get your narrowboat soon @KatherinePriddy

ristol is a very nice city. Here for @KatherinePriddy - Bristol Folk Festival

Devolution almost never delivers its promises. It gives local politicians a sense of self-importance, but practically often means doing more locally with less money.

I think it's strange that local actions in Eastleigh are postponed for a year because of "devolution and local government reorganisation".

At the fourth Festival of Open Research at @unisouthampton
#ukrn - speakers in the morning session were Gavin Buckingham from Exeter and Simon Kolstoe from Portsmouth.

Excited to see @katherinepriddy.bsky.social
on 3 May at the Bristol Folk Festival. Hope she will do Wolf as well, one of the most beautiful songs of the last decade. youtu.be/Y9FqJWgoWgQ?...

Yes, sorry.
I really considered it, but after 3-4 weeks Japan, coming back 13 March, really couldn't do it. 🙏

Rethinking the role of algorithms in school mathematics: a conceptual model with focus on cognitive development - ZDM – Mathematics Education Starting from the context of mathematics learning in the East and West, this paper discusses the position and role of algorithms within school mathematics and argues that learning of algorithms has su...

Well, in June 2014, when Greg was still anonymous, we communicated about both Bryan etc al., as well as our 2014 article on algorithms which cited it link.springer.com/article/10.1...
I guess we agreed on several things then, but don't tell anyone! 😉

Oh well, it reads like someone who agrees but doesn't really like agreeing.

I'm in Japan for the EJEME project, which works on co-designing digital mathematics books.

Will try to post some more. Sorry, still not built BlueSky routine.

How useful is it to compare education systems around the world? Crude caricatures of how education works in different countries can be unhelpful, writes Christian Bokhove, who says we need a more nuanced approach

www.tes.com/magazine/tea... a very interesting article by Professor @cbokhove.bsky.social on @tesmagazine.bsky.social

🌍 ‘International comparisons can only really be a starting point of discussions…’

@cbokhove.bsky.social says learning from other countries' education systems has to involve seeing what’s really happening inside their classrooms

Excited to go to Japan on Saturday for a project on digital mathematics books.

Last night got tickets for the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo. 🙌

I'm addicted to car rebuild channels now.

That means there still is accountability, but it's less 'in your face'. There also should be no political appointments, although inspection itself should be accountable to a department of education.
