It broke one of his rules: it couldn't be true as it can't reproduce, so can't evolve. 40 years on, he admits his error: *the theory he saw with wasn't right.* ● Edu folks: It's your ruleset that determines what you see https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/209455920-darwinizing-gaia26 Aug 2026 07:16 +0000at://did:plc:elo74afipukq4dfvpmjpbq7d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtxs2dzo4k2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/cmooreanderson.eurosky.social/post/3mtqngoqzwc2eAnother fantastic episode by @bigbiology.bsky.social "On this special episode, we talk with David George Haskell, a writer and biologist.

Is students fail to gain enough points to pass the diploma, they still take their subject grades with them.23 Aug 2026 08:35 +0000at://did:plc:elo74afipukq4dfvpmjpbq7d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtqf34a5m22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/cmooreanderson.eurosky.social/post/3mtnt6lwabk25Taking advantage to show off my new generic-social-media-post-image, I'll share again my latest post. ● If not Direct Instruction, or Constructivist Teaching, then what? The middle stance isn't just a mix of the two. https://christianmooreanderson.com/teaching-with-the-wrong-ends-of-the-constructivist-stick/22 Aug 2026 08:10 +0000at://did:plc:elo74afipukq4dfvpmjpbq7d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtnt6lwabk25https://bsky.app/profile/cmooreanderson.eurosky.social/post/3mtmmuvngvk2vThere is something to @benjaminjriley.bsky.social 's ways educators see the "science of learning". I think the SoL is a term more popular in the US. This post could have been the same in the UK as a way educators talk about "cognitive science". https://buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/the-science-of-learning-taxonomy?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=jzr4i21 Aug 2026 20:44 +0000at://did:plc:elo74afipukq4dfvpmjpbq7d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtmmuvngvk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/cmooreanderson.eurosky.social/post/3mtinz5zqr22eI'd say an issue is where the mind is (when focusing on task completion): Is the mind a loop between student, homework and AI? Or is the mind a loop between just the homework and AI?

It reads as a personal gripe against divergent views by "loud voices". A variety of views is essential in any system. This variety can be reduced appropriately with scholarly and experiential substance, but this post lacks this.

It's a distinct pedagogy in its own right, just one that few people are aware of.
