Hi, today I to
talk about a talk by Sir Ken Robinson, “Schools kill creativity”. Sir Ken
Robinson speaks to us about the importance of the creativity in the schools
system.
Sir Ken Robinson
talks about how the education Systems are organizad in general. It refers to
that creativvity is left out of educational space, but from their point of
view, creativity shlould have the same space as the literacy.
Creativity ir
forgottem for two rehaznos, Fritz because it stigmatizes the mistake, because
it is taught that wrong is the worts that can happen, and the fear not create
something new and therefore misses the creativity in children and also in
adults. And second is the prioritization
of subjets given in the schools, math
and lenguaje are more important than artistic subjects like arts, music, dance
and theater, but Why is this
hierarchization?, Why education is focused in the head, leaving the body?. Regarding
this, Sir Ken Robinson said that education systems are based on academic
ability, because thet arise to supply the needs of industrialization, the subjects
are more useful the more serve to work, leaving out many talented people.
Sir Ken Robinson
finally proposes to rethink the fundamental principles of education, and
currently is running out a single resource –the ability academic- being that
the people hace many resources, aims to educate people more complete.
I think the conference Sir Ken Robinson is
a very interesting proposal in education, so that speech can be seen anywhere
in the world, in Chile and even in education that we receive. For example, the
last year in Chile was proposed and carried out the reduction in hours of arts
and technology, to increase the hours of language and mathematics, with special
emphasis on these areas. It is important to assess the human as a whole and not
only to emphasize academic skills, as these are a part of it and in doing so we
may leave out important aspects of the person.
Bye bye!
