Comment on No Place for the Adventurous by Jack

I just thought: After tomorrow the references to the articles on the front page of Intelligencer won’t work. They’ll be gone. So the excerpt is from the blog post, “The Politics of Evidence” at Big Push Forward: http://bigpushforward.net/the-politics-of-evidence
and the cutting-edge knowledge workers refers to “Building for the Needs of an urban -based economy from urbanland: http://urbanland.uli.org/Articles/2012/April/ul/SheridanInfoEconomy

perhaps the key ingredient is credibility. are we believed, trusted and successfully demonstrating what we are touting as teachers, parents, spouses?

Comment on Resurrecting IDEF0/ICOM modeling work by Jack

Kirk. That is something. How small a world we inhabit. Thanks for rounding this out. I appreciate the work that went into IDEF0 and the later iterations. I developed a process model for a science ed program at Vanderbilt. Drew it using an OmniGraffle stencil. When I presented it, tho’, eyes glazed over. I still use the model as I analyze tasks and processes, but have learned to keep it implicit and just share the ICOM results.

Comment on Resurrecting IDEF0/ICOM modeling work by Kirk Rheinlander

Jack,

And it goes full circle. Northrop El Segundo developed ICOM modeling in 1966 under the Air Force ICAM initiative, and put it into the public domain. in 1972, if I remember rightly, SoftTech took ICOM commercial, with the first commercially available tool to implement the process modeling technique.

20 years later, my team at Northrop - with input from the ICOM team members - developed a process modeling technique that we presented at a public conference in Indianapolis in 1986, that Rummler-Brache took commercial in 1992.

It seems that none of today’s modeling tools produce nearly the rigor of what IDEF0 does, and none support the direct translation to an IDEF1x data model.

The more we move forward, the behinder we get.

Kieran Egan talks about cognitive tools and lists a number of them on the Imaginative Education Research Group site:

Comment on I am modifying Hauerwas’ maxims… by Nancy DeBord

My observation from 41 years of listening to therapy clients and 68 years of living with myself “You only see what you (learn to) believe.”

Comment on Programs don’t work; persons do by Jack

Let me mention several of the “streams” that has influenced this model. One early is process mapping that I picked up from Doug Weidner while at PRC. He taught us his “KnowledgeBase” methodology which he developed for the Department of Defense. That included IDEF0 with the acronym, ICOM, or Input-Control-Output-Mechanism, for modeling information systems. A recent stream has been the sensemaking material of David Snowden and his CognitiveEdge group.

Jack?

Thanks (I think) for the commentary. I’m not sure the Mennocostal label has caught on yet, but I continue to embrace the convergence of the two traditions. Look for my post on the Regent University Divinity School blog in a few days. It will be a three part series on my journey to pacifism. Peace

Comment on Frank Smith’s Learners’ Manifesto by dan

If I might ask - and you don’t need to post this…

Is where misspelled in the original version, or is this just a typo, in the line:

Schools must be places >were< learning can take place naturally.

thank you

I will have to find this book
