为什么值得读
- 揭示军用机舱设计套用平均值致死等真实案例
- 阐述行为受具体情境影响而非固定平均值
- 为个性化教育改革提供了理性的审视视角
为什么 Meyers-Briggs 人格测试并非真正有效?为什么针对新员工的 HR 测试往往毫无意义?为什么 BMI(身体质量指数)与真实的健康状况或体能并不挂钩?每个人的行为、学习和发展方式各不相同,但这些独特的人类行为模式却在迎合平均表现和平均能力的大规模体制中迷失了,而非针对个体的表现与能力。这些体制在将近两个世纪前的工业革命初期尚且合理,但在如今全球化的数字世界中却已过时且不敷使用。然而,……

有一本很棒的书解释了在诸多领域中使用平均值的哲学、背景故事以及引发的问题——托德·罗斯(Todd Rose)的《平均的终结》(The End of Average)。[1] 我最初是在一篇精彩的文章里发现它的,文章讲了在军用飞机驾驶舱设计中采用平均值是如何导致许多飞行员丧命的。那是我见过的最好的入门导读……
There is a great book explaning the philosophy, story and problem of using averages in many fields - "The End of Average" by Todd Rose. [1] I originally found it from the fascinating article on how using averages in the design of military plane cockpit resulted in many pilot deaths. That's the best introduction I've seen…
……在其他活动中有所欠缺。为了更理性地审视教育体制及其改革需求(朝向为每个孩子提供更加个性化的教育体验),我推荐:托德·罗斯的《平均的终结》(The End of Average),以及彼得·格雷(Peter Grey)的《玩耍是个正经事》(Free To Learn)。
…lacking with other activities. For a more rational look at the education system and the needs for its reform (towards a more individualized educational experience for each child), I’d recommend: The End of Average - Todd Rose Free To Learn - Peter Grey
感谢分享。这是 Todd Rose 的力作《平均的终结》(The End of Average)的第一章。在书中,他还探讨了情境(context)这个引人入胜的话题。例如,根本就不存在所谓的“某人的平均攻击性水平”——如果我呆在父母身边,我往往会变得很有攻击性,但是……
Thank you for sharing. This is the first chapter from Todd Rose's excellent book The End of Average. In the book, he also touches on the fascinating topic of context. For example there is no such thing as a person's average level of aggression - IF I am around my parents I tend to get aggressive, but…
……https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-... 长得有点像《X档案》里的 Dana Scully。我也很喜欢 Todd Rose 的那本书,书中考察了对“平均值”的(误)读和(滥)用历史:《平均的终结》(The End of Average)https://www.amazon.com/End-Average-Unlocking-Potential-Embra...
…https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-... resembles Dana Scully of The X-Files. I also enjoyed Todd Rose's book, which examines the history of (mis-)interpretations and (mis-)uses of the "average": The End of Average https://www.amazon.com/End-Average-Unlocking-Potential-Embra...
托德·罗斯著《平均的终结:如何在崇尚千篇一律的世界中胜出》(The End of Average: How We Succeed in a World That Values Sameness)。
"The End of Average: How We Succeed in a World That Values Sameness" by Todd Rose.
……我们试图解决的问题是,很多地方(博客、网站)都说“这对孩子有好处”。这可能是真的(如果有研究支持的话),但这采取的是一种平均化方法(我很喜欢 Todd Rose 的书《平均的终结》(End of Average))。听起来可能有点千禧一代的调调,但世界上根本没有“平均儿童”,所以采用平均值的方法往往行不通。我们的专家会去深入了解具体的家庭、教育理念和孩子……
…we're trying to help with is that lots of places (blogs, websites) say 'this is good for children.' Which could be true (if backed by the research) but that takes an averages approach (I love the book End of Average by Todd Rose.) It sounds a little millenial, but there is no average child and so an approach the uses averages often doesn't work. Our experts get to know the specific family, philosophies and kids,…
