Changing the educational paradigm

In the video, Sir Ken Robinson's idea about changing the educational paradigm. First of all, Sir Ken Robinson is an English author, speaker and international advisor on education in the arts to government, non-profits, education and arts bodies.
I agree with the idea of changes in the education system. Separating the areas of lectures, divergent thinking, etc. are really effective in the education because of some reasons. First , separating the subject is really essential for the learners because knowing oneself where students stand help their cognitive learning. Other reason is the divergent thinking which is essential for the creative thinking. It is an essential capacity for creativity. I mean creativeness is different from person to person. When teacher asks a question, students create an image in their mind different things in order to explore many possible solutions. That's why, this thinking is really important for the changes the educational paradigm.

  2. Hi duygu, I aggre with your ideas, but I am not sure how the changing apply the all students, because like you said, many things is different from person to person. That is, if we change the system and start to use it, won't be still the problems about the system of the education? I think, it will and we will criticize :)
