Karr Kapp blog’s
demonstrated that all isms are not created equally. In fact, ism is just like a processor or an ingredient
that add more flavor to the cake. Kapp’s
views isms like manna (bread from heaven).
The manna was 100% editable but it was useful. It maintained a nutritional
value to keep the body strong and resistance from disease to help Israelites to
survive their drought.
The approach to
learning “ is not one thing “ explained Kapp (Kapp, 2007) . It is an influence on behavior, knowledge and
thinking skills which comes from experience. Experience builds bridges that connect the
learner to the world of advancement in our society which keeps the learner
strong and employable. The learning
theory has added one more ism. It is
called connectivism. Connectivism creator
is George Siemens. He wrote the book “Knowing Knowledge”. Stephen Downes and Bill Kerr are operating
this knock out event on isms. The rivalry
is on between two scholars about cognitivism and behaviorism. However, the scope of learning is broader
than any bridge and all the isms need to be on CNN, Fox News or join a tea’ism
party to celebrate learning.
In summary, the isms
are busy moving to one learning phrase to another and the beats goes on (Kerr, 2007) . They both hold truth to learning that is to help
children learn. Teaching adults have the
same approach but a different environmental setting to establish goals and
outcomes.
