Wanderer, your footprints arethe path, and nothing more;Wanderer, there is no path,it is created as you walk.By walking,you make the path before you,and when you look behindyou see the path which after youwill not be trod again.Wanderer, there is no path,but the ripples on the waters.
Antonio Machado,Chant XXIX Proverbios y cantares,
Campos de Castilla, 1917
A very great musician came and stayed in our house,He made one big mistake …He was determined to teach me musicand consequently, no learning took place.Nevertheless, I did casually pick up from hima certain amount of stolen knowledge.
Rabindranath Tagore
You don’t know what you don’t know
The problem
You only know what you don’t know when you need it
… then, all classical learning comes too late
Just-in-time
Hence
Just-enough
Learning-by-doingLearning-while-doing
Learning from past (corporate) experiences
It has to do with the pedagogical metaphor
By the way
Empty Ship’s metaphorversus
Traveler's metaphor
Just like the optimal process does not exist
The optimal learning solution does not exist either
Strive for a 60 % solution
The advantage of e-learning technologies
Communicative tools on a wider (flexible) scale
Search engines
Origin of Taylor’s thinking in Management
The computer: attempt to automate human thinking
Manipulating symbols Modelling the brain
Represent the world Simulate interaction of neurones
Intelligence = problem solving Intelligence = learning
0-1 Logic and mathematics Approximations, statistics
Rationalist, reductionist Idealised, holistic
Became the way of building computers Became the way of looking at minds
Some principles that apply to knowledge
1. Complex Adaptive Systems: unpredictability2. Irreversibility of time principle (Prigogine)3. Behavior far away from equilibrium (Prigogine)4. Autopoiese (Varela)5. Embodied mind (Varela)6. Enacted cognition (Varela)7. Artificial life (Langton)8. Emergent behavior (agents; Holland)9. Law of increasing returns (Arthur)
