Long shot. I’m not a historian of pedagogy, but I’m trying to trace the idea of children being predisposed/inclined (natural abilities) towards certain subjects. For instance, Latin, some thinkers say there’s no point forcing children disinclined towards Latin to spend a lot of time on Latin, but instead let them focus on what they’re inclined towards. What is the history of this idea in pedagogy? When and where does it appear first?

catlaughing,

@leifhammer @ASECS @histodons @Chanders two possible strands - the learner centred curriculum centred stuff mentioned above. But you might also want to glance at the history of intelligence and the idea that there are different kinds of intelligence people are born with (which will fit them for studying different stuff) - probably fair to start with Thurstone. Also, a warning - this was a very eugenicist, racist era in education/psychology.

@leifhammer @ASECS @histodons @Chanders A lot of the primary texts are pretty horrible.

Long meeting in which I only have to listen and not talk means I wove in the ends on the little boxes socks and have officially blocked them! @knitting @fiberarts

catlaughing,

@consumableJoy @knitting @fiberarts those are lovely! Also I hope you call them the little boxes soxes ❤️

catlaughing,

@Betty @knitting The particular lace you are making will expand in different ways depending on its pattern. Your own unique tension will matter too, as will the details of your stitch production. Do make a tension square but don't rely too much on it - tiny tiny differences will amplify in the bigger work so it might still do things you don't expect. I'm sorry.
