Does school kill creativity?

Ken Robinson on TED

"Why don't we get the best out of people?"

Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance".

Education master: courses with Howard Gardner

Howard Gardner is an American developmental psychologist, Professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. 

He is best known for his theory of Multiple Intelligences.

Multiple intelligences is an idea that simply states that human beings have many different ways to learn and process information, or "intelligences." In response to the question of whether or not measures of intelligence are scientific, Gardner suggests that each individual manifests varying levels of different intelligences, and thus each person has refined in subsequent years.

In 1999 Gardner lists eight intelligences as linguistic, logic-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal and intrapersonal.

Little Gandhi (4): journey

Gustav: Master, we’ve been walking for long, but where are we going?
Little Gandhi: Don’t ask the journey anything, for it is the one which makes questions.

Gustav: ... Master, the journey asked me to ask you where we are going.

Little Gandhi: Good boy... We are only pilgrims throwing a glance into ourselves.

                                           ***

Gustav: Maestro, camminiamo da un po', ma dove stiamo andando?
Little Gandhi: Non chiedere nulla al viaggio, è lui che fa le domande...

Gustav: ...Maestro, il viaggio mi ha chiesto di chiederti dove stiamo andando.

Little Gandhi: Bravo ragazzo. Siamo solo pellegrini che danno un'occhiatina dentro loro stessi.
