New training: On Critical Learning Theory: the hidden curriculum

[gallardoalba]

Hi @bebatut and @fpsom , I think it could be interesting for you; it was designed it as continuation of the Principles of Learning training. It would be great if you could review and include your recommendation for improvement. Best regards.

Very cool @gallardoalba!

Another thing is that the commits on this branch don't seem to be attributed to you properly. Do you want to rewrite the history to re-assign the email/user information?

I think it is fine; I realized a bit latter that my ssh key seems to be wrongly configured. Thanks a lot!

It would be great if you could also review and provide a feedback @mira-miracoli, you witnessed the application of this training live :)

[gallardoalba]

Also would be nice if you can have a look @bgruening. Unfortunately there's not Kant, but you can learn about marxism.

Last but not least, this training includes personal reflections from my teaching experiences

I think this would fit best as a "training philosophy" page, which we collect here: https://github.com/galaxyproject/training-material/tree/main/topics/teaching/tutorials/experiences. Could you move it there?

Hi! Yes I can, but sincerely I think that there is not reason for grouping under teaching experiences, since this training summarizes a personal research on philosophy of pedagogy. Behind all training practices there's a pedagogical philosophy, but not always as explicit as in this training, of course.

Hi! Yes I can, but sincerely I do not think reason for grouping under teaching experiences, since this training summarizes a personal research on philosophy of pedagogy, as well as knowledge derived from the practice. Behind all training practices there's a pedagogical philosophy, but not always as explicit as in this training, of course.

If you consider this content doesn't fit, I can accept, but it is far from being the description of a personal experience.

Here you can find the research that support this training: The Hidden Curruculum from Critical Theory of Education; experimental results are described from page 94.

[gallardoalba]

I can provide you more information about the data I used for elaborating the training if you need. Regards.

In addition, my reflections on the role of technology were partially published in the paper A constructivist-based proposal for bioinformatics teaching practices during lockdown.

Of course, it was published as recommendation for lockdown, so it was not possible to to argue against technological-mediated teaching (I mean, to defend the idea that training material should be taught in person if the intention is to stimulate critical thinking).

Huge part of the training theory can be found in this document, under the critical reflexion section (pag. 57).

[gallardoalba]

This is my theory on the required education for stimulating critical thinking. In Science, theory is the most rigorous, reliable and complete form of knowledge possible. If somebody disagree with that, it should just try to defeat my theory by proposing a better alternative theory that could surpass the one proposed here.

@gallardoalba also ok to leave it here, just trying to find the best place, and since you mention in several places that this is your personal experience/reflections, I thought it might fit well there.

The linting is failing because of lack of DOIs for references in the bib file, can you add those (where possible)?

Yes, I'll include it, thank you so much. Yes, I applied it few times, and I collected the information from those experiences of course, but just to confirm that it works as expected. If you consider something should be modified or improve, all critics are very welcome, except insults and ad hominem criticisms, since I got enough of that at the University of Freiburg.
