Creativity can be the bridge between science and humanities education

From theconversation.com - October 21, 2018 10:28 AM
In his famous Rede Lecture of 1959, chemist and novelist C P Snow spoke of the separation of science and the humanities, and the lack of respect and understanding that often exists between the fields. He argued that this was detrimental to the future success of the country as many creative breakthroughs come from the interaction between the two cultures. Snow put a large part of the blame on what he called “our fanatical belief in educational specialisation” and focusing on “producing a tiny elite educated in one academic skill”. Unfortunately, not much seems to have changed.

Experiences and best practices in and around MOOCs

From openeducationeuropa.eu - April 27, 2014 9:51 AM

Why are MOOCs innovative? They provide alternative ways for students to gain new knowledge according to a given curriculum. MOOCs can also enhance learners’ ability to think creatively to select and adapt a paradigm to solve the problem at hand. These are the main findings of a case study on the Discrete Optimization MOOC on Coursera.

Overcoming the Fear of Being Wrong: 20 Ways To Help Your Students - InformED

Overcoming the Fear of Being Wrong: 20 Ways To Help Your Students - InformED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.opencolleges.edu.au - March 16, 2014 2:59 PM

Like cheating on a test, ignoring a friend’s phone call, wallowing in self-pity, or eating a pint of ice cream in one sitting, being wrong feels the worst when someone else is around to witness it. Unlike these things, being wrong is unjustly stigmatized as unacceptable. Everyone answers a question incorrectly now and then, but it’s the shame associated with being wrong, especially in front of others, that harms us more than the fault itself.

 Trends in school education are very relevant to VET. We can learn a lot by looking at how to apply creativity, innovation and personalisation to developing competence in VET environments.
Eileen Forsyth's curator insight, February 18, 2014 7:38 AM

Interesting suggestions about how to merge the two with technology:

Exploring education: Project Based Learning – meaningful action … or merely activity?

Exploring education: Project Based Learning – meaningful action … or merely activity? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From nbnotewell.blogspot.fr - March 21, 2013 4:42 PM

The world is awash with people and groups wishing to reform education.  Some want to go “back to basics” while others want to go “forward to the future”.       

 

Amongst the more progressive groups there is a surprising degree of similarity in what they propose. Thus, the RSA “Opening Minds” project in the UK or the US based P21 or the Apple Classroom of Tomorrow Today all have a high degree of overlap - indeed a Venn diagram of their views would be almost a single circle.

6 Channels Of 21st Century Learning

6 Channels Of 21st Century Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - March 23, 2014 2:02 PM
What is 21st century learning, and how do networks and technology function within it?

 

At TeachThought, we constantly wrestle with two big questions: How do people learn, and how can they do it better in a constantly evolving context?

In pursuit, the theme of “21st century learning” often surfaces, a popular label that, while perhaps cliche, still seems to be necessary as we iterate learning models, fold in digital media resources, and incorporate constantly changing technology to an already chaotic event (i.e., learning).

This has produced our 9 Characteristics of 21st Century Learning, a kind of overview we created in 2009, and our Inside-Out School model that is meant to be a kind of bridge between current school design and what’s possible moving forward.

Derrick Schellenberg's curator insight, March 24, 2014 9:49 AM

An interesting graphic on some of the skills or activities relating to 21st Century learning.  Not much depth in the actual article/explanation, but the six different channels provide some food for thought.  It is interesting that there is a real shift to student as participant and contributor in all of the six channels.   Their role is active.  They can help determine the direction.  They can explore some of their own interests and express themselves in different ways.  What I find interesting is that you can see the pendulum moving toward the students, and I am curious as to where we are in the arc (in North America, specifically Ontario).  Eventually the pendulum will shift back, toward rigour, and content, and curriculum, as well as standards. 

 

Are we just beginning the swing toward student-centered education (as examples of standardized testing abound) or are we well on our way to reaching the end of this continuum, and we should gird ourselves for the return swing?  Or, will we find a happy hybrid, a blending of a rigorous curriculum, discovered through inquiry-based learning, constructed using student and teacher collaboration, with students "driving the bus" and teachers acting as guides (and hopefully accelerating past the need to test everyone and everything)?

It seems some pupils have more creative imaginations than others, but the importance in fostering an imaginative mind is crucial for developing minds – and schools are the best place to help children to actively develop inventiveness.
