In the video Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution, Robinson talks about the importance of revolutionizing education, not evolving it. He talks about how everyone has a different talent, and some may not even realize their talent their whole life. Students today want the easy way out. They don't want to take the long road and get a good education. The reason for this is because they aren't engaged, and they don't have the drive to want the education. Students aren't interested because education doesn't interest them. Sir Robinson says that students decide not to further their education because they aren't passionate about it. So how can we get students to become more passionate? Teachers have to get students engaged. What are the passions of students? What interests them the most? According to Sir Robinson, students need a personalized curriculum. They need a plan that fits them personally and the things that they like and enjoy most. That is how students will learn more and get their passion for education back.

I am a big believer of find out HOW students are talented instead of IF they are.
ReplyDeleteHi Alyx,
ReplyDeleteGood job of presenting the main idea that was expressed in the video. I felt that he stressed the need to totally change the way we educate and not just adapt once changes occur, which is a wonderful way of thinking. I believe that in order to get different results you have to do something that has never been done, I think that is the message that Sir Ken Robinson wanted to deliver as well.
I definitely understand what you're saying about students being disengaged, but the way you typed it seems like a negative blanket statement about all students. "Students today want the easy way out. They don't want to take the long road and get a good education."
ReplyDeletePerhaps the "long road" and "good education" doesn't fit their talents! Sir Ken Robinson's point is that the long road and good education will not be a destination for every single student.
