Conversation

i feel like most ppl in theory agree that the lecture is a dead pedagogical tool and yet every conference i go to still plays the ‘important person on stage’ vs. ‘listeners in seats’ game i’m curious who’s experimenting with new interior design for new types of conversation

I’ve been hearing the tired slurs against “sage on a stage” model for 20+ years. Only leftist education ideologues with more abstract ideas than communications experience take them seriously. Person on stage is just a method like any other. Good for some things, not for others.

If anything, it is the oppressively authoritarian attempts to impose “approved” methods ranging from discussions and small groups to fishbowls and “learning style” (did not replicate) models that have lost credibility.

The thing is authority derived from actual asymmetric information and skills can not be wished away. And otoh you cannot force people to authority derived from ideologies seriously whenembodied by morons.
