@SaraJPeden Grab of relevant readings I could quickly curate together: https://jgregorymcverry.com/music/index.php/s/Eq8ZB5rUHPEeYKN Basic gist: even Tunmer uses a more complicated model, the biggest critque of SVR is lack of vocab and prior knowledge, then lack of distal mediators
Does seem straneg to use the meme "science of reading" and then base it on a theoretical model of SVR to which there is zero to little scientific evidence to support. It is all NRP, which wasn't an efficacy study at all, and left out huge swaths of research
Though Gough and Tunmer proposed (but did nothing to prove a model)"R = D x C, where each variable ranges from 0 (nullity) to 1 (perfection)" is by definition an attempt to mathematically model reading.
Where I think tech can help (actually one of the highest grossing verticals in app stores...kids reading apps), phonics so systematic machine learning will be better than people. Now when I want to know a kids phonics level, I look at their writing
@SaraJPeden No can not think of one comprehension researcher advocating for a single factor model, and I know most if not all of them. Would love to learn more if those do exist. That said folks saying SVR rah rah.... Way better predictive models.
@SaraJPeden ooooh now I get it...I crossed streams, was discussing same topic in two different threads...yeah the advocacy is nonsense and it is being framed as a blame game of teachers and teacher prep...also conflates miscue analysis
It is teacher blaming. They are either too ignorant to know they are wrong because all those teachers in education programs preach "whole language" which in pop culture articles like @ehanford work means three cueing systems and anything not phonics
@SaraJPeden I don't put much weight in the mathematical models of comprehension....mainly becuase I think comprehension is multifactored and we don't know enough about multi factor assessments to even assume we could build the regression model
@mr_casal @Eduquinn nothing is stopping us from organizing aa #digped event or meetup for k12 schools. I would be happy to help organize an event or unconference. Bring critical digital pedagogies to k12
@hrheingold Been working with arts collectives and organizations here in East Haddam, CT help folks escape estsygram hell of marketing your art and identity on platforms others control. Working on "memory marble"(ashes) site now for glass blower
@smarick You should do a follow up piece about #edtech and nudge in #highered as it has become a design paradigm and sellling point of every over priced platform that every school now must have. I will take compasion and coaching over nudging any day
@cogdog on #credibility and #curation: "Since I am working now on a site collection of creative tools, and trusting on @dogtrax for the stuff he shares (this is key, folks)," this is why networks must be part of disciplinary #literacies #lra19
Wondering where all that talk of nudge came from...like as in, "let's just nudge in some more grit with our rigor" @smarick does a nice history on the subject in this piece: https://americanmind.org/features/how-to-save-higher-education/dont-believe-the-states-higher-education-hype/ #HigherEd
A conference can not unconference. un means not, has as far back as our Proto-Indian-European languages...long time. Thus unconfernece means NOT Conference. It doesn't mean AND Conference
@brownellcassie Here are my current iteration of #literacies class but it is rooted in teacher prep so alot of truth gets masked by bureaucracy https://edu305.jgregory.mcverry.com https://edu407.jgregorymcverry.com https://edu106.jgregorymcverry.com
