As summer turns to fall and parents are buying children their new backpacks,it is time to
think of how our schools work and whether they are inspiring true leamning.The schools of today
are largely those of our great-grandparents.While white boards may have replaced blackboards
and DVDs are used instead of projectors,schoolroom atmosphere is remarkably
unchanged.Teachers deliver inert(无话力的)information to eager and empty minds who will
soon lose what Ellen Galinsky described as the "fire in their eyes
Our view of learning is trapped in the learning illusion(错误观念)that content is all that
matters Of course,content is important.Who would not want to have the multiplication tables
memorized?But content is constantly changing.Pluto?No longer a planet If memorization of
content is everything,children's knowledge will be out of date.Classrooms at all levels need to
emphasize"the six C's":content,collaboration,communication,confidence (risk-taking),critical
thinking and creative innovation(创新)
Our approach to the economic threats we see on our borders is to push for 19th century
memorization in a 21st century world.Yet the facts will be as close at the Google generation's
fingertips.We need to teach our children how to leam,and how Sally and Pedro can together
figure out how to use technology to understand why some trees never lose their leaves while
others do.We need John and Qonick to argue about the best way to solve that math problem,rather
than just listen to what the teacher tells them.Today's schools should be active places where kids
are actually thinking together about problem-solving.
None of this is to say that children cannot learn in school.They can But children are often
expected to sit still,listen and repeat disembodied content The "keys to the kingdom"of the 21st
century will go to those who love to learn and can transform their knowledge in innovative ways.
