"Changing Education Paradigms" By Ken Robinson's

Based on my understanding of the video “changing Education paradigms “ by Ken Robinson’s. It helped me to comprehend his perspective of the Education system and how can teachers support each individual child by engaging and creating fun and positive learning lesson plan. Also he gives a lot of positive feedbacks such as teaching the child that he or she should have a more divergent thinking, teachers should support each child individually, teachers should give more creating activities. Teachers should be stop  “old fashion” and starting being more creative and cheerful. Also give the child the opportunity to take the initiative in many activities.

I agree with Robinson’s message because the education system is being awareness about the necessity of each student. Also the system is changing and improving the preparation of the students so they can be more productive and efficiency. I believe that most children learn differently and have a different learning style.

The presentation is very professional and objective. The most important parts of Robison’s discussion that I found interesting were when he said that teachers classify copying as student cheating but in the outside world that’s more like collaboration. It capture my attention how he said that because in many ways is true. I can say that even as a grow up when the professor gives us a research paper individually, I struggle more than perhaps maybe working with a group, by each giving each others ideas and opinions.

In connection to my observation, I was able to see the teacher sets very high expectations for her students and provide the structure for them to excel. One to one teacher assistance, close proximity and hurdle help for students need extra support (during whole group lesson). Using of pictures, models, visuals and tactile materials. The teacher is great maintaining a good environment and keeping the students engaged, she is very animated when talking to the children. I observed that she uses visual, auditory and kinesthetic strategies for they learning. I believe the teachers are very important part in the student’s educational life.
