From the noose

Of a Cadillac

Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now

Myślisz że jesteś wzrokowcem lub słuchowcem? Naukowce twierdzą że to nieprawda.

Wszyscy znamy tą teorię. Karmią nią nas od lat. Jeden uczeń jest wzrokowcem i lepiej sobie radzi z nauką kiedy jest wystawiony na większą ilość bodźców wzrokowych, inny lepiej się uczy gdy może słuchać, z kolei jeszcze ktoś tam może potrzebować ruchu.

Gdybyśmy jednak mieli podejść do sprawy tak jak lekarz to nie byłoby o czym gadać. Dlaczego? Dlatego iż w medycynie nie stosuje się leków których działanie nie zostało potwierdzone. Tymczasem nie ma najmniejszych dowodów na poparcie tej teorii.

Psycholog Daniel Willingham z uniwersytetu w Virginii twierdzi że mamy ze sobą więcej wspólnego niż nam się wydaje jeżeli chodzi o sposób uczenia się i zwyczajny błędem jest dostosowywanie instrukcji do różnych typów uczniów.

Tymczasem niemal cała branża edukacyjna jest przesiąknięta tym trendem. Powstały specjalne warsztaty dla nauczycieli, produkty kierowane do różnych typów uczniów a nawet niektóre szkoły które oceniają swoich podopiecznych w oparciu o tą teorię.

To skłoniło psychologa Doug'a Rohrer'a do przyjrzenia się tej teorii z bliska. Okazało się że nie ma ani jednego badania, do tej pory, które dostarczyłoby jakiegokolwiek dowodu na jej poparcie. Oto z resztą link do notki prasowej która wszystko to opisuje.

Willingham sugeruje że więcej możemy skorzystać na obserwacji podobieństw między uczniami i tego w jaki sposób uczy się nasz mózg niż na różnicach. Najnowsze badania natomiast pokazują że najbardziej korzystamy z nauki gdy dostarcza nam ona możliwie różnorodnych bodźców a także gdy nauka jest rozciągnięta w czasie np na miesiąc czy nawet rok niż, powiedzmy na tydzień.

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different words
So many different songs
We have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hill
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

farm animal zwierzę gospodarskie

to bring out the animal in somebody obudzić w kimś zwierzę

3. jednostkę

there's no such animal nic takiego nie istnieje

Cytaty:

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

    This animal is very malicious; when attacked it defends itself.
  • From a song, La Ménagerie

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.




Now!

I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer in this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

I can hear it calling again
The primal need is filling me
Changes are about to begin
And now my blood is boiling
I can see the fear in your eyes
But you can't bring yourself to scream
Time to shed the mortal disguise
For the beast is coming to life
Taking form in the glimmer of this tainted moonlight
Death approaches on this night

For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

We begin the hunt and I
Feel the power course, as the creatures take flight
For the kill is close and I will be satisfied
For the smell of fear tonight
Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied
You're mine

For the animal's soul is mine
We will be completed right before your eyes
I have no control this time
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight

For the animal's soul is mine
And the world around will never hear your cries
An unholy crime
And now we both shall dine in Hell tonight
