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.

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

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...

Although error avoidance during learning appears to be the rule in American classrooms, laboratory studies suggest that it may be a counterproductive strategy, at least for neurologically typical stud...

Very excited to see Patrick Wolf soon.

Christian Bokhove @cbokhove.bsky.social · May 3

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

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.

Christian Bokhove @cbokhove.bsky.social · Apr 28

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

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

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.

🌍 ‘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
