Random sample

Today a group of 243 teachers from elementary schools were together for a meeting on "Reform education". They represent a good average of the national teacher population.

I asked them the following questions:

Who knows the meaning of the word Mathetics? less than 1 %
Who knows the meaning of "learning to learn"? more than 75%

Who uses a personal weblog? less than 1%
Who knows what a weblog is? 1,6 %

The word mathetics seems to be rather unknown for Dutch teachers.
The majority knows the "learning to learn" philosophy. As both terms are much alike it seems a matter of labeling.
Using a weblog is still an unknown phenomenon for teachers in Dutch elementary schools.
Only two colleagues were familiar with a weblog. Both were younger than 35. One male and one female.
The meaning of the word weblog is also rather unknown.

Does this mean a demonstration of the gap between the youth culture and the world of teachers? Are they loosing grip on their pupils, who live partly in a digital world?
If so, how to bridge this gap?
