Where do the learning virtues fit in contemporary models of teaching and learning?
I found a table in Scaffolding Learning that sets out three models of teaching and learning: Curriculum-Centred, Student-Centred and Teaching/Learning Centred. Learning virtues fits closely the rubric for the Teaching/Learning-Centred model,except for the descriptor for ‘Who is responsible if a student does not progress?’ It reads: The more capable others (i.e. teacher or parent): They have not observed the learner closely, problem-solved the learner’s difficulty, matched instruction to the learner, made ‘informed’ decisions, or helped the learner ‘get ready’.’ The learning virtues approach endorses teachers doing all of these things but it also recognises that learners need to also take responsibility for their own learning with support and coaching from their ‘more capable others’.
