What do children need to learn?

Alfred Binet1857 - 1911

‘What (pupils) should learn first is not the subjects ordinarily taught, however important they may be;

they should be given lessons of will, of attention, of discipline; before exercises in grammar, they need to be exercised in mental orthopaedics; in a word

they must learn how to learn.’

Intelligence – nature or nurture?

Alfred Binet1857 - 1911

In 1904, the French government asked Binet to create a mechanism for identifying students in need of alternative education

Binet created a scale of 30 tasks for 6 – 14 year olds, ranging from easy to complex ones

He stated his test showed what a child had learnt to that point, and nothing else

Number of words heard by children

A child in a welfare-dependent family hears on average 616 words an hour

A child in a working-class home hears on average 1,251 words an hour

A child in a professional home hears on average 2,153 words an hour

Number of words spoken by the time children are 3

500

700

1100

Hart & Risley, 1995

By the time they start school

Some children start school knowing 6,000 words.

Others, just 500 words.

What matters is what you believe about intelligence

People who believe intelligence comes mainly from nature have a ‘fixed’ mindset

Professor Carol Dweck, Stanford

People who believe intelligence comes mainly from nurture have a ‘growth’ mindset

Not everything counts

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts
