Comment on Students Are Learning Less and Getting Higher Grades Because of AI, Study Finds
t3rmit3@beehaw.org 1 week agoIgnoring that Bloom’s Taxonomy is outdated and disproven (not that it was ever based on empirical data)…
students are supposed to get to the application point in undergrad and that college is supposed to provide that practice
This hasn’t been true for a long time, ime; colleges have mostly been about laying foundations for years, ever since we moved to a gen-ed system that disfavored any kind of specialized learning at the cost of any usable skills (and since defunding and prison-ifying high schools made even gen-ed baselines not happen in practice). They’ve been having to make up for what kids aren’t getting in high school, but that also means that by the time they leave with an undergrad they have almost no experience of applying their knowledge to real-world-repevant problems.

Yeah, but part of it is because students complained, the current ranking of universities don’t include quality of undergraduate education, and the public didn’t really understand what college was for when providing funding with strings attached.
