Becki Bradshaw, Head of Revision Publishing, was delighted to talk to the Federation of Children's Book Groups about Oxford Revise, our exciting NEW revision series.Tell us about the revision guides you have created?"Oxford Revise is a new series of revision guides for GCSE and A Level that is informed by the Cognitive Science principles of how knowledge is learned and retained, enabling students to revise effectively with the confidence that they will be able to recall the right information and get the best result they can. Knowledge – Retrieval – Practice in combination represents a proven three-step strategy designed to help students commit large amounts of information to memory, retrieve it and then apply it in their exams."Why are these new revision guides so necessary?"There’s a lot to learn for GCSE and A Level exams. Oxford Revise covers the full exam specification in manageable chunks, so that students can revise a topic and check that they can recall that knowledge before taking on the practice questions. However, a revision guide should do more than simply present what students need to revise. It needs to provide them with the tools to check their knowledge, revisit prior learning, and practice so that they have confidence that they can deploy the right strategies to answer questions in their exam. Oxford Revise does all of this, and we’re delighted to hear feedback from students and teachers highlighting how the guides are easy to navigate, confidence-inspiring and comprehensive."

Great new article published on Academy of Management Learning & Education. I’ll quote here part of the abstract - it fully resonates with me especially in relation to the rising “societal impact rankings” of business schools and universities, which do not convince me at all: 💡 “Deans and academics can consider short-term bridging measures that do not fundamentally change the ranking game but influence it in self-serving directions. Rather than being powerless “ranking takers,” some proactive approaches can allow business schools to change the zero-sum game nature of rankings and become “ranking makers.” In the second phase, deans and academics can challenge and reject the ranking game by reaffirming the true purpose of business education”.👉 This sounds like great advice to test and reflect upon.

I am very proud to share with you this good news: our article «Legitimacy Through Research, Not Rankings: A Provocation and Proposal for Business Schools” has been published online by the Academy of Management Learning and Education.In this article co-authored with Gilles Grolleau, we argue that while business schools participate in rankings to obtain legitimacy, this participation can actually undermine business schools' legitimacy in the long run. We propose in a first phase to use short-term bridging measures that do not fundamentally change the ranking game but influence it in self-serving directions. In the second phase, we argue that deans and academics can challenge and reject the ranking game by reaffirming the true purpose of business education. We encourage deans and academics to seize back control and restore research-based legitimacy by rigorously addressing managerial, societal, and ethical issues.The full article is open access for 30 days – Do not hesitate to read it:https://lnkd.in/gET6sd8YGilles Grolleau Dirk Lindebaum

Professor Chuck Moul has been with Miami for 15 years. His favorite class to teach is 461. It's his favorite because "The course focuses on the theoretical and empirical arguments regarding the government's role in deterring and mitigating the harmful exercises of market (monopoly) power. It is a great way to expose students to real-world arguments among economists, which we shorthand as "Markets are great, and the government will just make things worse" (Chicago) vs "Markets are lousy, and the government needs to intervene" (Harvard). Most students are seniors, and I think that the class serves as a fitting climax to their economic education.""The class also includes a team-based competitive simulation that spans the entire semester. Teams make entry, pricing and output decisions in the very frustrating environment of uncertainty regarding demand, rivals' costs, and rivals' strategies. It is excellent practice for a large set of post-graduation outcomes."

"...points away from our powers of critique and toward our capacities to be filled and moved, both by things people create and by other people themselves." Been re-reading Avenues The World School Head of Upper Division Todd Shy's recent Los Angeles Review of Books co-review of both Michael Roth's "The Student: A Short History"(2023) and Adam Gopnik's "The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery" (2023)While the first book appears to be a fascinating 'tour' of the various ways of being 'a student' over the centuries -- from Socratic mentee in ancient times to a critical thinker in a modern society -- it is Gopnik's clearly non-education book that most captures the spirit [bon]fire seeks to explore. In short, modern education appears hyper-enamored with critical thinking. "A life of the mind."One of observation more than of participation. And so go most debates and arguments about education today, with questionable progress at best.By deeply exploring the lives and processes of 'masters' in a variety of crafts and disciplines, Gopnik seeks to make the case for something richer, something more transformative,... ...more human.A "life of the heart."One of feeling more than critiquing. And so goes more and more of our thinking. Both about the lives of students......but also more and more about the lives of educators and school leaders, too.
