Symboleracy, Numeracy and
Techneracy

The
starting point is the phylogeny of communication because the educational topic
I am going to address cannot even exist if there is no communication. We have
to understand that all Hominins were communicating. Probably all Hominins after
Homo Erectus included had some command of some articulated language, but only
Homo Sapiens reached the comprehensive and sustainable command of the
fully-articulated language, probably around 200,000 BCE.
The
next great stage Is the development of representational and symbolic Inscriptions
and paintings or engravings on all durable media available, rockface in caves,
stone, bone, ivory, and tusks. This symbolic transcription of stories and
experience, maybe some spiritual language accompanying some rituals, is the
first form of writing seen as symbolic transcription and going back to 300,000
BCE with Homo Naledi, 100,000 BCE with Homo Neanderthalensis, and 50,000 with
Homo Sapiens.
Syllabic
and alphabetical writing only came around 3,500 BCE for Homo Sapiens. There
might have been older cases, but archaeology has not yet covered the whole
world for all types of symbolic inscriptions that could have led to symbolic
phonetic writing. The next stage was the printing press which enabled mass
education and mass communication.
The
next stage is the digital age as the most advanced form of the mechanical
development of oral and written communication, the latest development being
Generative Artificial Intelligence. In this modern age, education has to shift
completely from teacher-centered education to guided self-learning which is
based on
1-
The
self-learner’s desires.
2-
The
self-learner’s choices.
3-
Teamwork.
4-
The
freedom of expression, tolerance, and discussion, and the freedom of emotional
intelligence.
5-
Motivation.
6-
No
disruptive self-learners, only disruptive treatment of self-learners.
7-
All tools
available to all self-learners with NO restrictions.
8-
Flexibility:
top self-learners, average midway self-learners, students with special needs
and differently-abled students, Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development,
Guide-Coach-Teacher’s flexible self-learning.
9-
Systematic
recap and discussion of achieved self-learning at the end of each phase.
10- Multi-ism and Pluri-ism.
11- This article presents a globalizing vision of
about 65 years of experience in education in many countries and many
circumstances.
The
main methodological procedure is to capture the phylogeny of what I am
studying, meaning the inner logic and processing that makes all these phenomena
sustainable: at every step in the development, the phenomena themselves produce
the means and energy that enable the next step to emerge.
Language
is a self-developing communicational tool, and communication itself is a
self-developing behavioral competence.
