Why Disrupt
Educa6on Theory?
Learning theory and methods must be
upgraded to include a global world:
both academic and industry methods cultures
the majority of people pushed out of the academic system
a transforma6onal path for the trauma6zed and oppressed
an easy way for teachers/mentors to leverage
global knowledge
revised and inclusive methods to unify diversity of life
theories that embrace personal, cultural and
religious values
global and local technology collabora6on
ways to transform and set free the individual spirit

Poverty a life of
denial and lies
We must transform the student:
That success is possible
That there are new tools
That they can have these tools
That it is possible to get them
That they have a right to have
them
And that good results are
possible
That change requires hard work
That not changing is misery

With the Web we are seeing

povertys traditional lies dying

You are isolated

You have no resources
Only wealth gets educated
Only wealth has logistics
Only wealth has freedom
Only wealth builds and creates
You are at the mercy of others
You are alone

LESS THEORY, MORE PRACTICE

Global Learning Framework Copyright 2009 Richard C. Close, No version can be reproduced in any format.

Start With Knowles Andragogy

Knowles Precepts:

Self-concept: As a person matures his self-concept moves

from one of being a dependent personality toward one of
being a self-directed human being.
Experience: As a person matures he accumulates a growing
reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource
for learning
Readiness to learn. As a person matures his readiness to
learn becomes oriented increasingly to the developmental
tasks of his social roles.
Orientation to learning. As a person matures his time
perspective changes from one of postponed application of
knowledge to immediacy of application, and accordingly his
orientation toward learning shifts from one of subjectcenteredness to one of problem-centeredness.
Motivation to learn: As a person matures the motivation to
learn is internal (Knowles 1984).
