What is a learning log. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hope this is clear now from the latest edit —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lutterworth (talk • contribs)

It could be clearer (more concrete), but it's a good start, and thanks for doing it. NickelShoe (Talk) 20:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is the notability here? Are there any published sources that mention this technique or is it a local thing? I'm saying this as someone might challenge this as to notability, though it would likely survive any AfD. Still, any noted relevance to the world outside of Leichester would be helpful, as well as mentioning awards, organizations that may have commented on it or noticed it, the scope of its use, a definite statement of its origin. I found the article interesting, so I hope my constructive criticism here will help round the article out a bit and put it out of reach of any potential AfDers (people who might put it up for deletion on grounds of notability). Please add any additional references that you can find. --DanielCD 01:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hope my latest edit clears up some of these points. There is a good deal of research evidence, too much to cite in all, but the logs produced by Danny Bullock facilitate a greater level of participation than previous learning journals in their visual mapping approach and the use of graphic and physical materials by the children to demonstrate their insights. Interest has been expressed in the concept by writers on thinking skills such as Robert Fisher and Guy Claxton, both of whom have had sight of the materials.lutterworth .lutterworth Additional recent reference added, specifically citing the learning logs and illustrating a number of the actual examples.lutterworth

you may also find it useful to note that the www.learninglogs.co.uk website evidences a worldwide use of the learning logs and local adaptations to meet individual needs —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.188.253 (talk) 15:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pic & etc.[edit]

This pic just doesn't fit. I'll have to monkey with it some more. But we need more mention of who Danny Bullock is in the article body. Also, how are these logs different from journals? A comparison might give the reader a better illustration of what these logs involve. --DanielCD 01:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup tag[edit]

This article needs sorting by experienced editors. Inglehurst Junior School is given a lot of attention, suggesting this is OR. The tone inappropriate too. The JPS ^{talk to me} 13:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have commented to JPS but repeat here. The Inglehurst references are important as they were the source of the learning log development which has now spread nationally and internationally

In the UK DFES are promoting the learning logs as a unique personalised learning tool in a forthcoming publication [[[User:Learninglogs|Learninglogs]] 19:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)]

The DCSF (successor to DFES) is currently promoting learning logs, for example at www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/ntrp/ourwork/cpd/cpd1/q8/, but does not seem to mention Inglehurst in every case, so Inglehurst Junior School should be given less attention .

Also, many of the DCSF examples (such as the one above) are not graphical Inglehurst-style ones. The same is true in other sources like www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-learning-log.htm and www.csudh.edu/titlev/learninglog.htm - This subject is new to me, but I think this article needs clean up by someone with more experience.

Got English?[edit]

"Research findings indicating that journals of this type are likely to increase metacognition through students becoming more aware of their own thought processes.[3]"

This is a terrible sentence on several levels. Not only does the sentence's predicate lack reflection of the subject, but metacognition IS being aware of your thought process. This sentence says a whole lot of nothing and says it poorly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.215.87 (talk) 03:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
