HERBERT A. SIMON 論CONFERENCE METHOD 之解

現在美國時間是15日

我要為先生作冥壽

拿起我翻譯的 SIMON管理行為
先生提到培訓方式 讚揚 CONFERENCE METHOD

我查大英百科不得其解
(不過它有 conference of birds 我知道這部百鳥朝鳳)
conference 就是聚會 討論

Exeter is noted for its Harkness education, a system based on a conference format of teacher and student interaction, similar to the Socratic method of learning through asking questions and creating discussions.[4]


On April 9, 1930, philanthropist and oil magnate Edward Harkness wrote to Exeter's Principal Lewis Perry regarding how a substantial donation he had made to the academy might be used for his vision of a new way of teaching and learning:

What I have in mind is a classroom where students could sit around a table with a teacher who would talk with them and instruct them by a sort of tutorial or conference method, where each student would feel encouraged to speak up. This would be a real revolution in methods.

The result was Harkness Teaching, in which a teacher and a group of students work together, exchanging ideas and information, similar to the Aristotelian method of antiquity. In November 1930 Harkness provided a $5.8 million gift to support this initiative. Since then, the academy's principal mode of instruction has been by discussion, "seminar style", around an oval table known as the Harkness Table.
