ch 6: The Three Eras of Education

Responsibility: from parents to the state to individuals and parents.
- Over time the responsibility of a child's learning process has changed. First the parents were the ones who chose their potential careers. Than it was the state putting newly immigrated children into schooling. Now we are at the stage where it is the decision of the students and the parents. Together they make the decisions of what will work best for their schooling

Expectations: from social reproduction to success for all to individual choice.
-the original way of people people deciding how they were going to school was through the parents. They had to follow in their parents foot steps. Then came public schooling. Everyone had to go and learn the same things. Now, in today's society, students have the option of taking classes online via homeschooling, or in the classroom.

Content: from practical skills to disciplinary knowledge to learning how to learn.

Pedagogy: From apprenticeship to Didacticism to Interaction.

Assessment: From observation to testing to embedded assessment.

Location: From Home to School to Anywhere.

Culture: From adult culture to peer  culture to mixed-age culture.

Relationships: From personal bonds to authority figures to computer-mediated interaction.

Critical Transformations in education.
