Druger lists vocabulary as the base of subject matter competency. That there is such a base for learning is questionable, learning, to me, being a complex network of experiences and interpretations and expressions. That vocabulary must come first is also questionable, because it demotes experience to something that can't be learnable without a vocabulary for expression. Such a view of the basis of learning is prevalent perhaps because it is reinforced by our methods of assessing learning, through vocabulary-based checks on expression, rather than evaluating experience or performance. | |||
