GREETINGS TO RUSSIAN FRIENDS

Over recent weeks, there has been a quiet surge in hits to this blogspot from Russia. It started with the reports on Outcome Based Education.

As a student in Russian history and government with an admiration for Russian culture, I feel I understand the interest of Russian readers in Outcome Based Education with a human face. Too long the dictates of the state had great precedence over the needs of the individual.

In the era past the collapse of the Soviet Union, individual needs of Outcome Based Education are coming to the fore just like in other nations. I hope this blogspot helps Russian friends in showing a strategy focused on needs of individual students in their family, community and workplace.

But then we hope that many people across the world read the blog and become interested in practical aspects of Mastery Learning with focus on the needs of people.

In the world, a development like OBE can take a generation or two to get right. Some countries have rejected OBE.

Russia has only had the last 30 years to get it right. It comes back in the end to the capacity of the teachers to present the work in a proper format of simple to complex, part to whole, known to unknown and concrete to abstract. The theory comes at the end of the mastery.

Now students, we have solved 20 practical problems on heat. What have we learned of the properties of air? What about the heat carrying capacity of wood and stone? Why do warm currents of water and air rise? Concrete to abstract. Known to unknown. Part to whole.

Next week, we will go through 20 more problems on heat. Do not forget what you have learned here this week.
