¿Qué es lo que merece la pena aprender? es una pregunta imposible, si lo que buscamos es la respuesta perfecta. Pero, meditando bien los criterios y con la sensación de tener una misión valiosa que llevar a cabo, podemos buscar respuestas interesantes con inteligencia.Visualizar lo que podría tener un valor dentro de los contenidos que enseñamos en las escuelas es, sin duda, un acto fundamental de imaginación educativa. Hasta ahora, siempre nos hemos centrado en educar para lo conocido. Sin embargo, apostar por que el mañana se parecerá al ayer no parece muy adecuado. Necesitamos un programa más audaz. Llamémoslo educar para lo desconocido que, lejos de ser una paradoja inabordable, puede resultar atractivo y estimulante.Lograrlo pasa, según David Perkins, por identificar grandes temas de comprensión, grandes preguntas y grandes destrezas, entendiendo grande como esencial, aquello que nos capacita ampliamente durante toda la vida para desenvolvernos bien ante cualquier situación. ¿Puede esta visión darnos quizá la esperanza de que, a través de la educación, podemos acceder a lo desconocido, abordar sus giros e imprevistos, y situarnos en el camino hacia la sabiduría?
¿Cómo educar en un mundo frenético e hiperexigente? ¿Cómo conseguir que un niño, y luego un adolescente, actúe con ilusión, sea capaz de estar quieto observando con calma lo que le rodea, piense antes de actuar y esté motivado para aprender sin miedo al esfuerzo? Los niños de los últimos veinte años viven en un entorno cada vez más frenético y exigente, que por un lado ha hecho la tarea de educar más compleja, y por otro, los ha alejado de lo esencial. Vemos necesario para su futuro éxito programarlos para un sinfín de actividades que, poco a poco, les están apartando del ocio de siempre, del juego libre, de la naturaleza, del silencio, de la belleza. Su vida se ha convertido en una verdadera carrera para quemar etapas, lo que les aleja cada vez más de su propia naturaleza, de su inocencia, de sus ritmos, de su sentido del misterio. Muchos niños se están perdiendo lo mejor de la vida: descubrir el mundo, adentrarse en la realidad. Un ruido ensordecedor acalla sus preguntas, las estridentes pantallas interrumpen el aprendizaje lento de todo lo maravilloso que hay que descubrir por primera vez.
En Educar para mejorar el mundo, el autor invita a repensar los propósitos de la educación y el papel del aprendizaje en las sociedades actuales. Prensky reflexiona sobre las limitaciones de considerar al aprendizaje como el objetivo de la educación y nos propone sustituirlo por el desarrollo de la capacidad para mejorar el mundo. Para el autor, el aprendizaje es el medio para conseguirlo. Su ruta de análisis responde preguntas inquietantes para el mundo educativo: ¿los estudiantes deben actuar en el mundo real solo después de concluir susestudios? ¿Cómo integrar en el trabajo escolar sus pasiones y los problemas de su contexto para que los resuelvan? ¿Es necesario que se impartan en el aula todos los contenidos del currículo actual? Si no es así, ¿qué se debe impartir? En esta obra se propone transformar la cultura escolar a partir de cambiar la estructura e implementación del currículo. Su aproximación pospone la discusión de los contenidos de las asignaturas tradicionales y prioriza las áreas de formación que se requerirá dominar para desenvolverse en el futuro: pensamiento efectivo, acción efectiva, relaciones efectivas y consecución de logros. Una obra de lectura obligatoria para todo educador sensible a la importancia de acercar a los estudiantes a lo que realmente los mueve y los apasiona, y con lo que podrían contribuir a mejorar el mundo desde la escuela.
Three essays by Marc Prensky
Discover why and how schools must become places where thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted As educators, parents, and citizens, we must settle for nothing less than environments that bring out the best in people, take learning to the next level, allow for great discoveries, and propel both the individual and the group forward into a lifetime of learning. This is something all teachers want and all students deserve. In Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools, Ron Ritchhart, author of Making Thinking Visible, explains how creating a culture of thinking is more important to learning than any particular curriculum and he outlines how any school or teacher can accomplish this by leveraging 8 cultural forces: expectations, language, time, modeling, opportunities, routines, interactions, and environment. With the techniques and rich classroom vignettes throughout this book, Ritchhart shows that creating a culture of thinking is not about just adhering to a particular set of practices or a general expectation that people should be involved in thinking. A culture of thinking produces the feelings, energy, and even joy that can propel learning forward and motivate us to do what at times can be hard and challenging mental work.
Students today are growing up in a digital world. These "digital natives" learn in new and different ways, so educators need new approaches to make learning both real and relevant for today's students. Marc Prensky, who first coined the terms "digital natives" and "digital immigrants," presents an intuitive yet highly innovative and field-tested partnership model that promotes 21st-century student learning through technology. Partnership pedagogy is a framework in which: - Digitally literate students specialize in content finding, analysis, and presentation via multiple media - Teachers specialize in guiding student learning, providing questions and context, designing instruction, and assessing quality - Administrators support, organize, and facilitate the process schoolwide - Technology becomes a tool that students use for learning essential skills and "getting things done" With numerous strategies, how-to's, partnering tips, and examples, Teaching Digital Natives is a visionary yet practical book for preparing students to live and work in today's globalized and digitalized world.
Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
In his most visionary book, internationally renowned educator Marc Prensky presents a compelling alternative to how and what we teach our children. Drawing on emerging world trends, he elaborates a comprehensive vision for K–12 education that includes new goals, new means, a new curriculum, a new kind of teaching, and a new use of technology. “Marc Prensky—one of the smartest people working in educational reform today—offers us a lucid, inspiring, optimistic, doable, and crucial blueprint for how we can build a future with the schools children desperately need in our modern, high-risk, highly complex, fast-changing, and imperiled world.” —James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, Regents’ Professor, Arizona State University “Marc Prensky was always ahead of his time. Education to better their world continues this trend in spades. This book is a goldmine and a powerful wakeup call that the future is already here—in pockets right now but a harbinger of what is rapidly emerging. Read the book and make yourself part of the future today. As we are finding in our own work, students are agents of change—in pedagogy, in learning environments, and of society itself. Exciting possibilities await!” —Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto “Marc Prensky’s answer to the question ‘What is the purpose of education?’—that education should now empower youth to improve their communities and the world—would unleash the energy, creativity, and compassion of students and teachers in ways we have never imagined. We need the better world Prensky envisions and we need it now.” —Milton Chen, The George Lucas Educational Foundation “Prensky offers perhaps the most compelling case and model yet articulated by anyone for today’s globally-empowered children. A must-read book for all educators and anyone who cares about education.” —James Tracey, Head of School, Rocky Hill School, RI “Wow. As a takeaway it is good—very good.” —John Seeley Brown “A great book. Filled with ‘food for thought’, common sense, provocative ideas and fun to read.” —Nieves Segovia, Presidenta, Institucion Educativa SEK (SEK International Schools)
This Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) Manual was developed during three-and-a-half years of continuous work, involving the United Nations Children's Fund education staff and specialists from partner agencies working on quality education. It benefits from fieldwork in 155 countries and territories, evaluations carried out by the Regional Offices and desk reviews conducted by headquarters in New York. The manual is a part of a total resource package that includes an e-learning package for capacity-building in the use of CFS models and a collection of field case studies to illustrate the state of the art in child-friendly schools in a variety of settings.
Recommendations by the National Council on Education Standards and Testing (NCEST) are provided concerning whether national standards and a system of assessments are desirable and feasible and how national standards and a system of assessments are to be developed and implemented. The NCEST found that the absence of explicit national standards keyed to world-class levels of performance severely hampers the ability to monitor the nation's progress toward the six national education goals. Without well-defined and demanding standards, American education has gravitated toward "de facto" national minimum expectations, with curricula focusing on low-level reading and arithmetic skills and on small amounts of factual material in other content areas. Most current assessment methods cannot determine if students are acquiring the skills/knowledge they need to prosper in the future. These assessments reinforce the emphasis on low-level skills and processing bits of data rather than on problem solving and critical thinking. It is concluded that high national education standards and a voluntary linked system of assessments are desirable and feasible mechanisms for raising expectations, revitalizing instruction, and rejuvenating education reform efforts for all American schools and students. The NCEST will work toward local commitment to high national expectation for achievement for all students, and toward developing Federal, state, and local policies that ensure high quality resources (instructional materials and well-prepared teachers). Acknowledgments; authorization for the NCEST; public comments; the six national education goals; and reports of the standards, assessment, implementation, English, mathematics, science, history, and geography task forces of the NCEST are appended.
