Ken Robinson`s Conference


Hi today I going to write about the conference of Ken Robinson in February 2006, Monterey, California. He says that creativity is losing interest in the education area but he thinks that creativity is as important as literacy
He criticizes the ways that people considerate the education actually and puts an example that show like today we stigmatize mistakes, then this mistakes are the worst thing you can make. When people see mistakes of this way, they are putting limits to the creative capacities of students and their capacities for innovation because a mistake mean the open of mind to other idea or other way to carry out a situation
I am agree with Ken Robinson, because the most important thing in education is developing the creativity in children since they enter to educative system when they are three or four years old (even before that) until they finish their schools studies.
Now, if he says that the artistic subjects could be more considerate, I think that maths and language are really very important. Maybe the interesting is in the way to learn Scientifics and humanistic subjects because if teachers are creative they can promote a teaching based in developing the creativity, and let children learns of their mistakes.

One of the missions of teacher could be discover the talents of each one of his students and use it to improve the difficulty that they can have to learn a specific subject. For example if a child prefer drawing in class, teacher could learn to read drawing the letters or painting this.
Not only are important the academic abilities, is also important the corporal expressions. For children is very boring attended to school and dedicate only to be sitting and writing all time looking at the blackboard and one can confirm this with the own experience.
