Culture and Creative Learning: a literature review

Ken Jones

This review focuses on debates that have occurred in and around English education since 1944. It tracks a sequence of intense and continuing arguments about the proper meanings of ‘culture’ and ‘creativity’, about their salience to education, and, through education, to wider issues of equality, democracy, economics and emancipation.

Who are the participants in these arguments? In the 30 years after 1944, the review identifies three main currents of thought and practice:

• a cultural conservatism for which tradition and authority are important reference points;

• a progressivism concerned with child-centred learning;

• and a tendency whose belief that ‘culture is ordinary’ led to an insistence that working-class and popular culture should be represented in the classroom.

After the ‘great transformation’ of the 1970s and 1980s, new protagonists emerged. These included currents of thought that have seen ‘creativity’ as central to the knowledge economy, as well as new theoretical frameworks that insist on the socio-cultural nature of learning. Their prominence did not mean the total eclipse of older perspectives, whose continuing histories are dealt with in the later sections of the review. In many cases, the review suggests, ‘new’ positions intertwined with older understandings.

With the unfortunate loss of Al Harris and Aaron Kampman for the season following the win over San Francisco, changes are going to have to be made moving forward to continue playing at the level we were at. Right now, more than ever, is when experienced coordinators with good football minds earn their paycheck. What sort of changes might we see out of Dom Capers?

Replacing Aaron Kampman:

Replacing Aaron might be easier than fans realize. This is one place where the 3-4 scheme really shines. The fluidity of the scheme allows for very different player types to be successful in the outside linebacker role, bringing different skill sets to the table. Many of the players that play OLB have to be hidden by scheme to some degree, and Kampman was no different. Clay is one of the rare 3-4 OLB’s that seems equally at home in virtually any role.

It was obvious that one of the places that Kampman was schematically hidden was in pass coverage. He dropped on occasion, but generally that was limited to little zone drops. He was not left in trail technique coverage on fast TE’s splitting the seam, and did not move over to press and bracket cover a WR. This is in very sharp contrast to Clay Matthews, who is trusted to do all of these tasks.

Kampman was also helped rushing the passer both by occasionally playing a 3-3-5 defense that put his hand in the dirt, and by overall maintaining a consistent launch point without an excess of twisting and stunting. In other words, things that he has been comfortable with. It has helped, though it has limited some of the overall defensive options.

Replacing Kampman most likely will be rookie Brad Jones, though Brady Poppinga and Jeremy Thompson could see time as well. Brad couldn’t be more different than Kampman, which could work to Dom’s advantage in a very big way. Hopefully this is where Dom Capers separates himself from former DC Bob Sanders. Brad is not the kind of player that can or should be plugged in to do the tasks that Kampman did the same way he did them. But on the flipside, he does open up a lot of things that were not previously possible.

Brad Jones is extremely fast and agile, and is especially noted for his ability to drop into coverage. Like Clay he can drop extremely deep from the 3-4 OLB position, and has the ability to stay with WR’s and TE’s, at least when he has some help. Dom almost surely will be much more comfortable with him in coverage, and won’t be consistently making an effort to have him rush the passer, limiting his coverage to the bare minimum as he was with Kampman. Of course the effect of this will be to enable more blitzing/zone blitzing. Clay will likely get to rush more, but I think that the biggest beneficiaries will be the ILB’s, I suspect that we will see them rush a good bit more.

Having been a 3-4 OLB, Brad likewise was not married to a small little plot of land on the line most of his career. I suspect that his launch point will not be as rigid as Kampman’s was, and be more like Clay, who moves around in the formation a great deal. This is greatly aided by the defensive line; they are playing at a level where the OLB’s don’t have to be extra DE’s on run plays, freeing the OLB’s up to shut down any attempts to bounce run plays outside, or pursue the tackle quickly. Every one of our top 4 defensive lineman can hold his ground in the face of a double team. Brad’s quickness will allow Dom to move him around a bit to probe for pass rushing weaknesses, and to allow for more stunting and combo rushing, where instead of an every man for himself, the LDE (typically Jolly) attempts to open a lane for the OLB moreso than plow through himself. The faster the OLB, the more effective that is.

While changes will be necessary, changes can be made to insert Brad Jones into the lineup without a big downgrade in defensive quality. Brad has a different skill set and will have to be used a different way, but the overall effect should hopefully be minimized. however it may change the way things “look”.

Replacing Al Harris:

This should almost be rephrased “replacing Tramon Williams”. Replacing Al should be the easy part, plug in Tramon, but replacing Tramon will be a task.

Dom can go two completely different directions with this. He can do exactly what Bob Sanders did, and literally replace Al with Tramon, placing him at the RCB spot over the split end on the sideline, or he can take the approach to keep Tramon doing what he has been doing, at least in nickle+ defense, only moving him over to Al’s spot on base defense. Either option should be equally viable, the route chosen will largely depend on how Dom adjusts to cope with the changes.

Al’s position at RCB is unique in that the route tree used by most teams is somewhat more limited. Few QB’s roll to their left. The timing of read progressions and pass patterns cuts out a good amount of intermediate routes, and if the QB turns to watch his split end, he is also watching his best pass protector, turning his back on some of his worst.

Though our defense plays all sorts of different coverages, if you had to group them into classifications, Al would be more of a man guy, Tramon more of a zone guy, and Woodson more of a rover. Al played the least amount of underneath zone of the 3. When rolling a S into the box or forward out wide, and using a CB as a S in a cover-2, 3, or 4, (forms of sky and cloud coverage), Al was typically a bail corner covering a deep zone, with LB’s or S’s covering underneath. Tramon bails much less, instead if one corner is used in the short zones more than others, Tramon is that guy. Whereas Woodson does a little of everything, generally in an effort to have him where the offense most wants to go.

When Tramon did fill in for Al last season, he did an excellent job basically doing Al’s job. In fact there seemed to be some differences where we might actually have had better pass defense, as we did run a little more zone during that time, not necessarily becasue Tramon is better in zone, but because he seems at home doing either, whereas Al definitely (at least in Sanders’ defense) was more at home in man.

One thing that we will likely see, with the hopeful return of Chillar soon, and Jones at OLB, is return to sparse dime defense. Prior to Chillar’s injury Green Bay rarely ran dime defense, even agaisnt 4-5 WR sets. The 4th CB did not see the field a whole lot.

If we do put Tramon in Al’s spot and replace Tramon, likely an increased amount of LB/S bracketing will be required. Which could mean less play in the box by Bigby and more zone drops by the LOLB. If we replace Al’s spot and keep Tramon in his, we are probably looking at 2 different players dedicated to the sideline, either CB shallow S deep, or CB deep S/LB shallow in distinct zones.

Whichever direction Dom goes, replacing Al wil surely stress our secondary.

The Potential Positives:

While the negatives of these injuries are obvious, some positives may be taken away.

Tramon will be a free agent again next year. This year he played for just over the tender amount. This is his time to grab hold of the starting job for good (even if Al returns, I don’t think that he will return as a starter). This gives Ted and his staff 6 games to determine just how much Tramon is worth, and if he is a viable starter. I’d like to think, if he makes the most of this situation that Ted will not tag him again, instead giving him a full starting CB contract while his value is still on the low end of starting CB’s.

It also gives Ted a chance to evaluate Bush as a defensive back. I doubt that he gets another chance. He’s been developing too long, this is a seize the moment or go away couple of games for him. If he can hold his own as the 3rd CB, he’ll likely stick. If someone else is given a shot after he is, because he didn’t seize the job, I suspect that this will be his last year. He have replacements at ST gunner now; his hold on a roster spot is much more tenuous than it has been.

With free agency on the horizon for Kampman, few Packer fans seriously thought that he would return to the team. The prevailing though being that he would be franchise tagged and traded (similar to Corey Williams) to a team that runs a 4-3 defense. With this injury he now has very little trade value and almost surely will not be franchised, chances are he simply leaves as a free agent.

This means that Kampman will need to be replaced long term this offseason. That task is much easier if Brad Jones (or Jeremy Thompson/Brady Poppinga) shows that they belong on the field this season, and that they are the long term solution. If not I suspect that free agency and/or higher draft picks will be used to fill this spot.

Young guys stepping up to fill an injury void and impressing is one of the primary ways that players become full time starters in this league. Lets keep our fingers crossed that we have the good fortune of that occurring at both spots for us. The players behind our lost starters are certainly physically talented enough to do so, it remains to be seen thather they put it all together.

Hi Tim

I’ve re-run with the same database used for the previous 2006 run (tmp.0705101334.dtb). /cru/cruts/version_3_0/update_top/gridded_finals/data/data.0909041051/
tmp/cru_ts_3_00.1901.2008.tmp.dat.nc.gz Is that any better? If not please can you send the traditional multi-page country plots for me to pore over?

Cheers

Hi Harry and Phil,

the mean level of the “updated-to-2008″ CRU TS 3.0 now looks good,  matching closely with the 1961-1990 means of the earlier CRU TS 3.0  and CRU TS 2.1. Please see the attached PDF of country mean time series, comparing last-year’s CRUTS 3.0 (black, up to 2005) with the most-recent CRU TS 3.0 (pink, up to 2008).

Latest version matches last-year’s version well for the most part, and where differences do occur I can’t say that the new version is any worse than last-year’s version (some may be better). One exception is the hot JJA in Europe in 2003. This is less extreme in the latest version. See attached PNG for a blow-up of France in JJA. I‘m sure some people will use CRU TS 3.0 to look at 2003 in Europe, so we need to be happy with the version we release. Perhaps some hot stations have been dropped as outliers (more than 3 standard deviations from the mean?)?

But I’m not sure if that is the reason, since outlier checking was  already used in last-year’s version, wasn’t it? Does the outlier checking always check +-3 SD from 61-90 mean (or  normal), or does it check +-3 SD from the local mean (30-years centred on the value) which would allow for a gradual warming in both mean and  outlier threshold?

Cheers

Before you write this off, I want to say that I am not a conspiracy theorist. Most of the time, I write these types of theories off, mainly because I know I am not prepared to adopt any new behaviors based on believing them. I am, however, a skeptic by nature and a deep thinker. For whatever reason, I decided to actually sit through this entire documentary today.

Realistically, the most beneficial aspect of this movie is not the specific details or the names of the individuals involved, but rather the message that our society must wake up and question whether our government is acting in its citizens best interests. The government operates for the people, so we must make sure that our needs are being met. If these conspiracy theorists are wrong, there is nothing to lose by considering their ideas and ensuring that they are wrong. If they are right, however, our freedom and the freedom of every coming generation may be at stake. Watch this documentary and check out his website, www.infowars.com. The fact that this video has been provided for free is a testament to the fact that Alex Jones is working to spread awareness rather than for his own personal gain.

Tomorrow I’m heading home to the Poconos for Thanksgiving break. Tonight was an interesting night… I spent my night class watching the Japanese video adaptation of the manga Battle Royale, a vision of a dystopian future where children are selected and placed on a deserted island and told to kill each other. They are told that only one survivor will remain in the end. Within the first 10 minutes, the movie turns into a constant death match, intertwined with poorly translated subtitles. 

After class, I returned home and spent some time watching a few of Alex Jones’ documentaries on the possible changes going on in the political world today. In terms of the band, it reminded me of a song we had started during our last time playing together. After explaining how surreal the events of the G20 Summit were for me here in Pittsburgh, Peewee immediately began writing. I was impressed by how quickly he got his ideas flowing, especially because I hadn’t even considered writing a song on my feelings about the entire situation. 

Now that we are really beginning to flesh out our entire message, I am realizing that we are really part of the resistance to dehumanization that the corporate world is attempting right now. Alex Jones outlines their methods in a few documentaries, all available on youtube for free. Our message is about the intrinsic value each of us holds as a unique human being. The time has come to stand up for our freedoms and insist that the government works for the people, not the other way around.

So I spent the last few hours watching Alex Jones’ documentaries, Endgame and Fall of the Republic, which are available for free on youtube.com. I would not consider myself a conspiracy theorist but I cannot help but be somewhat worried about many of the issues he raises.

Specifically, I was forced to reconsider my political awareness this past month in response to my direct experience of the events of the G20 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As a student at the University of Pittsburgh, I witnessed first hand the way our campus was turned into a police state, supposedly even resulting in a declaration of martial law for a short time. I was even tear gassed while riding my bike in an attempt to get a better view.

My recent worry has been that my ignorance of the issues going on in the world around me will not protect me from the changes that could be made in the near future. As I work diligently in school for a career in science, am I actually missing the point? Am I simply distracted as some rich elite sets up the system which will enslave my grandchildren? Clearly, this issue is much bigger than my own individual life.

Indiana Jones is a very successful film franchise featuring Harrison Ford. The trademark Fedora wearing, leather jacket donning, bull whip holding hero has been through a lot. Discovering the Ark of the Covenant, saving an Indiana village, finding the Holy Grail, and returning a crystal skull to Acator. Although the latest film was a little disliked by some, a fifth movie has been green lighted. (Spoilers are Present)

The fifth film was initially thought to feature Shia LaBeouf as the character’s son taking over the mantle. But Lucas has since then stated otherwise.

Indiana Jones is Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. If it was Mutt Williams it would be Mutt Williams and the Search for Elvis or something.

Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf have both confirmed that the fifth film is heavily in the works. Ford later said:

The story for the new Indiana Jones is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.

So far no release date has been given. But as this franchise is one I love very much, I will keep you informed.
