Three Things About Human Intelligence
1. It is diverse: we think in different ways, both abstractly and physically.
2. It is dynamic: interactive, multi-tasking.
3. It is distinct: people have unique talents.
Three Principles of Human Flourishing
1. Human are naturally different and diverse.
2. Curiosity motivates people.
3. Human life is inherently creative.
What We Have Done Wrong
Ideas
- Industrialism: built on the model of fast food, standardised, batching people, mechanical system and mechanistic concepts
- Linearity: prepare every student for university education mainly
Content
- Direction: emphasise academic ability, brain work is more important, the waist up→head→slightly one side, designed to mainly produce people like scholars and professors
- Hierarchy of Subjects: mathematics and language > humanities > arts (art and music > drama and dance)
Methods
- Stigmatising mistakes and discourage venture
- Lack of interest, students are disengaged
- Improper Evaluation System: standard tests are over-emphasised and used unsuccessfully, chasing degree out of employment[need knowledge AND skills!] results in academic inflation and education shrinks[What ELSE is needed?]
What Good Systems Have Done Right
- Individualise teaching and learning: learning is more essential, teaching needs creativity of teachers(mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage)
- Attribute a high status to the teaching profession, get great people to teach and give constant support and professional development
- Decentralised, put back discretion to school/teachers and students to decide for themselves
- Personalised
- A broad and diverse curriculum, programs involving students inside AND outside school
- Close links with the community
What We Need
- Abandon old education designed for the previous era, think anew and act anew, rise with the occasion
- Adopt a new concept of human ecology (human resources[intelligence and information resources]) analogical to nature ecology[material and energy resources]
- Reasonably balancing science, arts, humanities and physical education
- Awaken and develop creativity
- Focus on learning instead of teaching or testing
- Industrialism?Agriculture! creating conditions for flourishing
- Linear/mechanical?Organic!
-* Practical view[aim to solve problems] + aesthetics values
What We Have
- Children with capacities for innovation (prerequisite: allow to be wrong) and talents
- Children are natural learners, they are curious
- Technologies: multimedia, Internet, etc.
關(guān)于人類智能的三點(diǎn)
1.人類智能是多樣化的：我們用不同的感官、方式思考拇泛，抽象或?qū)嶓w地辆脸；
2.人類智能是動(dòng)態(tài)化的：（多學(xué)科）交互，可以多任務(wù)（多線程）工作；
3.人類智能具有獨(dú)特性：每個(gè)人都有自己獨(dú)特的才能。
人類繁榮的三個(gè)原則
1.人類生而不同，自有其道飒责。
2.好奇心是人類的驅(qū)動(dòng)力。
3.人類有內(nèi)在的創(chuàng)造性仆潮。
我們目前的錯(cuò)誤
教育思想
工業(yè)化思想：建立在快餐模型上宏蛉，通過標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的教育模式將學(xué)生分批處理，體制機(jī)械呆板
直線性發(fā)展規(guī)劃：主要以大學(xué)教育為單一目標(biāo)培養(yǎng)學(xué)生
教學(xué)內(nèi)容
教育方向：強(qiáng)調(diào)學(xué)術(shù)能力性置，即腦力工作更為重要拾并，注重上半身→頭腦→(偏重）一邊大腦，主要為了制造學(xué)者、教授一類的人而設(shè)計(jì)
學(xué)科等級制：數(shù)學(xué)（自然科學(xué)）和語言>人文學(xué)科>藝術(shù)（其中美術(shù)和音樂>戲劇和舞蹈）
教學(xué)方法
以犯錯(cuò)為恥嗅义，因而打擊了嘗試和冒險(xiǎn)精神
了無生趣个榕，學(xué)生缺乏興趣而心不在焉
評價(jià)體系：標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試被過分重視且運(yùn)用不當(dāng)，追求學(xué)歷不顧就業(yè)［工作需要知識和技能］導(dǎo)致的文憑膨脹芥喇、教育縮水［所以還需要什么？］
現(xiàn)有好典范的可取之處
教學(xué)分離：學(xué)習(xí)才是核心的凰萨，施教需要老師的創(chuàng)造力（指導(dǎo)继控，促動(dòng)，激勵(lì)胖眷，吸引學(xué)生）
提高教師職業(yè)的地位武通，找優(yōu)秀的人做老師并給予持續(xù)的支持和職業(yè)專業(yè)培訓(xùn)
權(quán)力回歸，給予學(xué)校師生自治權(quán)珊搀，他們更清楚自己所需所以自主決定更能解決問題
個(gè)性化冶忱，因材施教
提供范圍更廣闊、更多樣化的課程境析，及校內(nèi)外學(xué)生都能參與的綜合課程項(xiàng)目
與社區(qū)（社會(huì)）密切合作
我們需要怎么做
拋棄為舊時(shí)代設(shè)計(jì)的舊教育囚枪，重新思考，重新行動(dòng)劳淆，和機(jī)遇共進(jìn)共興
樹立人類生態(tài)（人類資源［智能和信息資源］）新觀念链沼，類比自然生態(tài)（物質(zhì)和能源資源）
合理平衡科學(xué)、藝術(shù)沛鸵、人文學(xué)科和體育括勺。
喚醒、發(fā)展創(chuàng)造性
以學(xué)為本曲掰，而不是以教或考
工業(yè)化思想農(nóng)業(yè)化思想疾捍！為百花齊放創(chuàng)造條件
直線性/機(jī)械體制有機(jī)體制！
我們擁有的
有創(chuàng)新能力（前提：允許犯錯(cuò)誤）和天賦才能的孩子們
孩子們是天生的學(xué)習(xí)者栏妖，充滿好奇心
科技：多媒體乱豆，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)等
