hqdefault, Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education, Sir Ken Robinson:…
Problem: Good teachers don't want to work at schools where they need most
"A teacher that can be replaced by a machine should be".
Difference 2: Mitra believes a computer or device can teach students without teacher supervision. Robinson believes that students are overstimulated with information from several devices. Robinson rather have students learn through divergent thinking and discussions.
Indication of student success is based off testing score improvement between the different months of the experiment.
Difference 3: During his TED talk, Mitra cites his experiment success by referring to student test scores improving or remaining the same after giving the same test after two months. Robinson does not believe in test scores or finding one right answer as an indication of success. Robinson rather see students find more than one way to answer a question to promote divergent thinking.
In all experiments, students are placed in groups to learn from one individual computer.
"If children have interest, then education happens."
Grandmother Method: Someone stand behind a student while they work and continuous admire their work and explore their thought process
Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education
Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Education Paradigms
Problem: Current education system is designed for industrialization where student think one answer is right
Difference 1: Mitra believes teachers teaching student to memorize information is fine. He believes the good teachers need to teach those who need help more. Robinson believes the way teachers teach is wrong in the current system as students are told there is only one answer.
"Our children are living in the most intensive stimulating period in the history of earth".
Indication of student success is based on multiple ways to see answer, not one.
Similarity 1: Mitra believes students can learn in groups as shown in his experiment where students teach other students how to use the computer and learn. Robinson briefly mentions how group learning can lead to great learning. He believes that calling group work cheating is wrong.
Similarity 2: Mitra provided computers for groups of children where their interests to learn how to use a computer sparked their education. Robinson believes that education that teaches students that there is only right one answer kills interest as students sacrifice what they think is important and right for a grade and degree.
Similarity 3: Mitra encourages students to encourage one another when they are learning as it helps them feel confident about what they are doing. Robinson loves divergent thinking as it sparks curiosity and intrestest instead of subjecting students to thinking there is only one right answer. Both of these thinkings inspire teachers to encourage students for thinking outside the box.
"Great learning happens in groups. Collaboration is the stuff of growth."
Getting a degree in education is not good if it "marginalizes what you think is important to you".
Divergent Thinking: Encourage students to interpret and answer a question in several ways.
