Learning is not a competition,” states Ong Ye Kung, Singapore’s Education Ministerhttps://t.co/YqlLuJTDt0Singapore has long been an educational high-achiever, Scoring high on PISA scores, promoting rote learning and long study hours to propel school children toward exam success.
However, in a strategic shift Singapore decided to abolish exams for primary years 1 and 2 students will starting from 2019.
Discussions, homework, and quizzes are set to replace marks and grades as the favored method of collecting information on the performance of primary school students.
Older primary and secondary students will also study in a less competitive environment.
Listen to the following video in which Stanford professor and noted researcher Linda Darling-Hammond discusses what the United States can learn from high-achieving countries on teaching, learning, and assessment — from Finland to Singapore

Tweet: Early evaluation,early feedback and early intervention for student success by @AliceSNKim
Early evaluation,early feedback and early intervention for student success; Driven from the conclusion that the grades students receive early in a course can be used to predict how they will score on a cumulative final exam. https://t.co/f4yUmzSSHr

In the paper“Early, But Not Intermediate, Evaluative Feedback Predicts Cumulative Exam Scores in Large Lecture-Style Post-Secondary Education Classrooms”, researchers Alice S. N. Kim and Sharry Shakory investigated whether early and intermediate evaluative feedback on in-class quizzes were predictive of students’ scores on a final cumulative exam in a third-year Psychology course at a large North American university.The results of the regression analysis showed that early, but not intermediate, evaluative feedback was predictive of students’ scores on the final cumulative exam. -

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsI was always intrigued by the Chicken and egg problem in networking. Ie Networking can help you accomplish great things by connecting with people, But Accomplishing great things helps you develop a network. Whats your personal take ?https://t.co/UxN2j1f5BS

Tweet: IQ test and Chess. Intelligence among chess players VS Intelligence in IQ test ? Local Or universal?
Chabris has @cfchabris a study showing the memory of chess players being local to the game.
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) September 16, 2018Yes, in my PhD thesis I re-discovered and extended this; was first published by Adriaan de Groot (leading 20th c. Dutch psychologist and chess master), Herbert Simon, and William Chase; also Fernand Gobet (strong chess playing cognitive psychologist) has done key studies on this
— Christopher Chabris (@cfchabris) September 16, 2018Funny coincidence: while reading this, I bumped into some of my old notes from @spyrosmakrid & co.’s Dance With Chance, where they too touched upon the subject: https://t.co/zSFsJZ1gXe pic.twitter.com/h37j6J69yR
— matti heino (@Heinonmatti) September 17, 2018The claim about IQ isn’t true though. See recent meta-analyses by Zach Hambrick et al.
— Christopher Chabris (@cfchabris) September 17, 2018Read the study mentioned: Deliberate practice: Is that all it takes to become an expert?
This study looked at the findings of studies done by Anders Ericsson et al which proposed that expert performance reflects a long period of deliberate practice rather than innate ability, or “talent”.
So study showing the memory of chess players being local to the game is true? But scoring high in an arbitrary IQ test is universal. Like to know why it is so @cfchabris ? @sbkaufman

The term Mathew effect was emerged from bible verses (Matthew, XXV: 29).“For unto everyone that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath”Matthew Effect in education was first coined by Walberg and Tsai in 1983 were they looked at cumulative advantages of educative factors.They found that early educative experience predicts current educative activities and motivation, and all three factors contribute to the prediction of achievement.
It was Stanovich (1986) was the first to use the Mathew effect to describe how, in reading, those who start well tend to continue to do so, while those who do not are unlikely to catch up. -
Tweet: Socially motivated learning.
When you are socially motivated to learn, your social brain can do the learning, and it can do it better than the analytical network that you typically activate when you try to memorize.

Tweet: The socio-economic factors of marshmallow test
Why rich kids are so good at the marshmallow test, by @JessicaCalarco https://t.co/WReDqbGKdZ
— Kiran Johny (@johnywrites) June 6, 2018https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1972 led by psychologist Walter Mischel, a professor at Stanford University.
The test found evidence to the idea that being able to delay gratification leads to better outcomes in life.
However, a new study by Tyler Watts, Greg Duncan and Haonan Quan finds limited support for the idea that being able to delay gratification leads to better outcomes.
Instead, they suggests that the capacity to hold out for a second marshmallow is shaped in large part by a child’s social and economic background.
They found out that that background(socio-economic), not the ability to delay gratification, is what’s behind kids’ long-term success.
