Hello everybody! :D
Wow! What can I say... this presentation was super, because Sir Ken focused on many interesting issues of contemporary Education, and I agreed with all of them.
first of all, he talked about the extraordinary evidence of the human creativity, every single person has talent, and has abilities that educational system doesn't develop on the students, why it is focused in one general knowledge which is not personalized, it not even make you grow as a person.
Secondly, we need to prepare to be wrong. We as a people are afraid of make a mistake, we must face the fear of being wrong to be successful in life. We have to realized that nobody's perfect and stop to stigmatize the mistakes.
Thirdly, education is shaped as a programm to develop just the "useful aspects" in job's life. Contemporary education has the idea of the body as a transport of the hands. We as teachers are producing an industrialized knowledge, that just is focused on usefulness of the things and most important yet, the people as a tool who don't even think.
Finally, what we have to do? RE-THINK. We have to think over about the structure of the academics programs. We should make up a new point of view of intelligence as a multiple concept that contents a dynamic part, creative and an interactive one.
He proposed a new mean of human ecology which consists in re-think about the intelligence and human's capacities and teach to students how to face the future.

ReplyDeleteI know it must be difficult to change this reality, but it will be a challenge for us as future teacher to re-think about it.
