Q & A

¿De dónde proviene el sistema educativo actual según el discurso?

El sistema educativo actual proviene de hace aproximadamente 300 años, durante el Imperio Victoriano, que creó una máquina administrativa global compuesta por personas.

¿Cuáles eran las habilidades básicas que las escuelas debían enseñar para que los estudiantes funcionaran en la máquina administrativa del Imperio Victoriano?

Las habilidades básicas incluían una buena caligrafía, la capacidad de leer y realizar operaciones matemáticas básicas como multiplicación, división, suma y resta de forma mental.

¿Por qué el orador considera que las escuelas actuales son obsoletas?

Las escuelas son consideradas obsoletas porque están diseñadas para producir personas idénticas para una máquina administrativa que ya no existe, y no se ajustan a las necesidades de los trabajos del futuro.

¿Qué descubrió el orador al poner un computador en un barrio pobre de Nueva Delhi?

Descubrió que los niños del barrio pobre, sin conocimiento previo de inglés o internet, pudieron enseñarse a sí mismos a navegar por internet y a enseñar a otros en solo 8 horas.

¿Qué evidencia demuestra el orador sobre la capacidad de autoaprendizaje de los niños con acceso a un computador?

El orador demuestra la capacidad de autoaprendizaje de los niños a través de experimentos en diferentes lugares, donde los niños enseñaron a sí mismos inglés y conceptos avanzados de biología molecular con acceso a un computador.

¿Qué rol desempeñan los abuelos en el concepto de 'The Granny Cloud' presentado por el orador?

En 'The Granny Cloud', los abuelos actúan como mentores y apoyo emocional en línea para niños en problemas, ayudándoles a resolver dudas y motivándolos en su proceso de aprendizaje.

¿Cuál es el objetivo del orador al promover un currículo basado en preguntas grandes y significativas?

📚 Origen del sistema educativo y su relevancia en el futuro

El primer párrafo explora los orígenes del sistema educativo moderno, que se remonta a 300 años atrás, durante el Imperio Británico. Se describe cómo se creó una 'computadora global' compuesta por personas para administrar un territorio vasto sin tecnología moderna. Las escuelas se convirtieron en una máquina para producir individuos idénticos, capaces de integrarse en esta 'máquina administrativa'. Sin embargo, el discurso señala que estos requisitos son obsoletos en la actualidad, donde los trabajos y la forma en que se trabaja han cambiado drásticamente. La pregunta subyacente es cómo preparar a los estudiantes para un futuro laboral desconocido, cuando el sistema educativo sigue produciendo personas para un mundo que ya no existe.

05:01

🌐 El aprendizaje autodirigido y su impacto en el futuro de la educación

El segundo párrafo narra la experiencia del narrador al introducir computadoras en comunidades desfavorecidas de la India, descubriendo que los niños aprenden por sí mismos, incluso sin conocimiento previo del idioma inglés o de la tecnología. Este descubrimiento llevó al narrador a cuestionar la necesidad de un enfoque educativo tradicional y a explorar el poder del aprendizaje autodirigido y colaborativo, lo que sugiere un cambio en la percepción de lo que significa 'enseñar' y cómo los estudiantes pueden alcanzar un nivel de competencia sin la intervención directa de un instructor.

10:03

🧬 Aprendizaje autodidacta en biología y su aplicación en el aula

Este párrafo relata un experimento en el que se proporcionó a niños de un pueblo de la India del sur, que hablaban tamil, un computador con información sobre la replicación de ADN en inglés. A pesar de las barreras del idioma y la complejidad del tema, los niños lograron comprender conceptos básicos con el tiempo, demostrando la capacidad del aprendizaje autodidacta para abordar temas avanzados. Este hallazgo sugiere que los estudiantes pueden alcanzar un nivel de conocimiento significativamente más alto que el de un profesorado entrenado, alentando la idea de que el aprendizaje autoorganizado puede ser una herramienta poderosa en el futuro de la educación.

15:03

👵 La importancia de la motivación y el apoyo en el aprendizaje

El cuarto párrafo enfatiza el papel de la motivación y el apoyo como claves en el aprendizaje autoorganizado. Se describe el concepto de 'Nube de Abuelas', un sistema en línea de apoyo donde las abuelas británicas ayudan a niños en problemas de aprendizaje a través de videollamadas. Este enfoque muestra cómo el apoyo y el asombro pueden ser más efectivos que el miedo y la amenaza, lo que sugiere un cambio necesario en el enfoque educativo tradicional hacia uno que fomente el placer y la curiosidad en el aprendizaje.

20:05

🌟 Diseñar el futuro de la educación a través del aprendizaje autoorganizado

El último párrafo presenta la visión del narrador de un futuro de la educación basado en el aprendizaje autoorganizado, donde los niños se embarcan en aventuras intelectuales impulsadas por grandes preguntas. Se describe la idea de una 'Escuela en la Nube', un centro de aprendizaje desmanchado que opera a través de colaboración en línea y apoyo remoto. El narrador invita a la audiencia a participar en esta visión, promoviendo el uso de entornos de aprendizaje autoorganizados en todo el mundo y compartiendo los datos para crear un modelo educativo innovador y efectivo.

Keywords

💡Aprendizaje

El aprendizaje es el proceso mediante el cual las personas adquieren conocimientos, habilidades, valores o comportamientos a través de la experiencia o la enseñanza. En el video, se discute cómo el aprendizaje tradicional está desfasado y cómo se puede transformar para adaptarse a las necesidades del futuro, enfocándose en la auto-organización y el apoyo mutuo entre los estudiantes.

💡Escuelas

Las escuelas son instituciones educativas que han evolucionado para formar parte de una máquina burocrática administrativa, según el video. Se argumenta que, aunque están bien diseñadas, su modelo es obsoleto y no se ajusta a las necesidades de aprendizaje de la era digital actual, donde los estudiantes pueden acceder a información y aprendizaje en cualquier lugar y momento.

💡Bureaucracia

La burocracia se refiere a un sistema administrativo complejo y estructurado, que en el pasado requería personas altamente entrenadas para su funcionamiento. En el contexto del video, se menciona cómo las escuelas se crearon para producir individuos que se integraran en esta máquina burocrática, pero hoy en día esta necesidad ha disminuido con la automatización y la tecnología.

💡Auto-organización

La auto-organización es el proceso por el cual un sistema o grupo de personas se organizan sin la intervención de una autoridad central. En el video, se sugiere que el aprendizaje puede emerger de manera natural a través de la auto-organización, en lugar de ser impuesto por un sistema educativo tradicional.

💡Computadoras

Las computadoras son dispositivos tecnológicos que permiten a los estudiantes acceder a información y aprendizaje sin la necesidad de un entorno escolar formal. En el video, se muestra cómo los niños en comunidades pobres pueden enseñarse a sí mismos a usar computadoras y a aprender conceptos avanzados cuando se les brinda acceso a una computadora.

💡Internet

💡Nube

La nube, en el contexto del video, no se refiere a la naturaleza, sino a la 'Nube de Abuelas', un concepto que involucra a personas que brindan apoyo y orientación a niños en el proceso de aprendizaje a través de la tecnología y la conectividad en línea, sin la necesidad de estar físicamente presentes.

Highlights

The origin of modern schooling is traced back to the Victorian era, designed to produce identical individuals for a bureaucratic administrative machine.

The Victorian system was robust and continues to produce people for a system that no longer exists, rendering the design outdated.

Today's jobs are vastly different, with computers taking over clerical tasks, and the need for traditional skills like handwriting and mental arithmetic diminishing.

Future jobs are unpredictable, and current schooling may not adequately prepare students for a world of flexible work environments.

An experiment in New Delhi showed that children from a slum, with no prior knowledge, could learn to use a computer and browse the internet within hours.

Children in remote villages taught themselves English to use a computer, demonstrating a strong drive for learning.

Self-organized learning environments can lead to significant educational achievements without the direct intervention of a teacher.

A curriculum of big questions can inspire children to engage in intellectual adventures and self-guided learning.

The concept of 'the school in the cloud' is introduced, where learning is driven by curiosity and mediated by technology.

The importance of encouragement over punishment in the learning process is emphasized, as it reduces the threat response in the brain.

The 'Granny Cloud' is a network of British grandmothers who provide support and encouragement to children learning remotely.

Learning can be self-organized and facilitated through broadband collaboration and encouragement, as demonstrated in various global experiments.

The speaker's wish is to support children worldwide in tapping into their curiosity and collaborative abilities to build the future of learning.

The Himalayan example illustrates the universal desire for learning and the potential of self-organized learning environments in remote locations.

The speaker calls for action to build self-organized learning environments and contribute to the creation of the school in the cloud.

The final message is an encouragement to embrace the potential of self-organized learning and to support the development of the school in the cloud.

Transcripts

what is going to be the future of

learning I do have a plan but in order

for me to tell you what the plan is um I

need to tell you a little story which

kind of sets the stage I tried to look

at where did uh the kind of learning we

do in schools where did it come from and

you know you can look far back into the

past but if you look at present day

schooling the way it is it's quite easy

to figure out where it came from it came

from about 300 years ago and it came

from the last and the biggest of the

empires on this planet imagine trying to

run the show trying to run the entire

planet

without computers without telephones

with data handwritten on pieces of paper

and traveling by

ships but the victorians actually did it

what they did was amazing they created a

global

computer made up of people it's still

with us today it's called the

bureaucratic administrative machine

machine in order to have that machine

running you need lots and lots of

people they made another machine to

produce those

people the

school the schools would produce the

people who would then become parts of

the bureaucratic administrative machine

they must be identical to each other

they must know three things they must

have good handwriting because the data

is handwritten they must be able to read

and they must be able to do

multiplication division addition and

subtraction in their head they must be

so identical that you could pick one up

from New Zealand and ship them to Canada

and he would be instantly

functional the victorians were great

Engineers they engineered A system that

was so robust that is still with us

today continuously

producing identical people for a machine

that no longer

exists the Empire is gone so what are we

doing with that design that produces

these identical people and what are we

going to do next if we ever are going to

do anything else with

it so that's a pretty strong comment

there there I said schools as we know

them now they're obsolete I'm not saying

they're broken it's quite fashionable to

say that the education systems broken

it's not broken it's wonderfully

constructed it's just that we don't need

it

anymore it's

outdated what's the kind of jobs that we

have today well the clerks are the

computers they're there in thousands in

every office and you have people who

guide those computers to do their

clerical job

those people don't need to be able to

write beautifully by hand they don't

need to be able to multiply numbers in

their heads they do need to be able to

read in fact they need to be able to

read

discerningly but that's today but we

don't even know what the jobs of the

future are going to look like we know

that people will work from wherever they

want whenever they want in whatever way

they

want how is present day schooling going

to prepare them for for that

world well I bumped into this whole

thing completely by accident I used to

teach people how to write computer

programs in New Delhi 14 years ago and

right next to where I used to work there

was a slum and I used to think how how

on Earth are those kids ever going to

learn to write computer programs or are

they should they not at the same time we

also had lots of parents rich people who

had computers and and who used to tell

me you know my son um I think he's

gifted because you know he does

wonderful things with computers and my

daughter oh surely she she's you know

extra intelligent and so so suddenly

figured that how come all the rich

people are having these extraordinary

gifted

children what did the poor do

wrong I made a hole in the in the

boundary wall of the slum next to my

office I stuck a computer inside it just

to see what would happen if I gave a

computer to children who never would

have one didn't know any English didn't

know what the internet was the children

came running in it was 3 ft off the

ground and they said what is this and I

said yeah but it's you know I don't know

so they said um why have you put it

there I said just like that and they

said can we touch it I said if you wish

to and I went

away about 8 hours later we found them

browsing and teaching each other how to

browse so I said but that's impossible

because you know how is it possible they

don't know anything my colleagu said no

it's simple solution one of your

students must have been passing by

showed them how to use the mouse so I

said yeah that's possible so I repeated

the experiment I went 300 miles out of

Delhi into a really remote village where

the chances of a you know a passing

software development

engineer was very

little I repeated the experiment there

there was no place to stay so I stuck my

computer in I went away came back after

a couple of months found kids playing

games on it and they saw me they said we

want a faster processor and a better

Mouse so I said how on Earth do you know

all this and they said something very

interesting to me in a irritated voice

they said you've given us a machine that

works only in English so we had to teach

ourselves English in order to use it

[Applause]

I that's the first time as a teacher

that I heard the word teach ourselves

said so

casually here's a here's a short Glimpse

from those

years that's the first day at the hole

in the wall on your right is an

8-year-old um to his left is his uh

student um she is six and uh he's

teaching her how to

browse then on to uh you know other

parts of the country I repeated this

over and over again and getting exactly

the same results

[Music]

everywhere an 8-year-old telling his

elder sister what to

do and finally a girl explaining in

marati what it is and said there's a

processor

inside so I started

publishing I published everywhere I

wrote down and measured everything and I

said in 9 months a group of children

left alone with a computer in any

language would reach the same standard

as an office secretary in the west I'd

seen it happen over and over and over

again but I was curious to know what

else would they do if they could do this

much I started experimenting with other

subjects among them for example

pronunciation there's one community of

children in Southern India whose English

pronunciation was really bad and they

needed good pronunciation because that

would improve their jobs I gave them a

speech to text engine in a computer and

I said keep talking into it until it

types what you

say

okay they did that and watched a little

bit of

this man to meet

you nice to meet you the the reason I

end it with that the face of this young

lady over there is because uh I suspect

many of you know her she's now joined a

call center in Hyderabad and may have

tortured you about your credit card

bills in a in a very clear English

accent so then people said well how far

will it go where does it stop I decided

I would I would destroy my own argument

by creating an absurd proposition I made

a Hy hypothesis a ridiculous hypothesis

Tamil is a South Indian language and I

said Can Tamil speaking children in a

South Indian village learn the

biotechnology of DNA replication in

English from a street side computer and

I said I'll measure them they'll get a

zero I'll spend a couple of months and

leave it for a couple of months I'll go

back they'll get another zero I'll go

back to the lab and say we need

teachers I found a village it was called

Kali kupam in Southern India uh I put

hole in the world computers there

downloaded all kinds of stuff from the

internet about DNA replication most of

which I didn't

understand the children came rushing and

said what's all this so I said um it's

very topical very important it's all in

English so they said how can we

understand such big English words and

you know diagrams and chemistry so by

now I had developed a new pedagogical

method so I applied that I said I

haven't the foggiest idea

and and anyway I'm going

[Laughter]

away so

I I left them for a couple of months

they had got a zero I gave them a test I

came back after 2 months and the

children trooped in and said we've

understood nothing so I I mean what did

I expect so I said okay but um how long

did it take you before you decided that

you can't understand anything so they

said we haven't given up we look at it

every single day so I said what you

don't understand these screens and you

keep staring at it for two months what

for so a little girl who you'll see just

now she raised her hand and she says to

me in broken Tamil and English she said

well apart from the fact that improper

replication of the DNA molecule causes

disease we haven't understood anything

[Laughter]

else so I tested them I got an

educational impossibility 0 to 30% in 2

months in the tropical heat under with a

computer under the tree in a language

that they didn't know doing something

that's a decade ahead of their time

absurd

but but I had to follow the Victorian

Norm 30% is a

fail how do I get them to pass I have to

get them 20 more marks I couldn't find a

teacher what I did find was a friend

that they had a 22-year-old girl who was

an accountant and she played with them

all the time so I asked this girl can

you help them so she says uh absolutely

not I didn't I didn't have science in

school I have no idea what they're doing

under that tree all day

long I I can't help you I said um I'll

tell you what use the method of the

grandmother so she says what's that said

stand behind them whenever they do

anything you just say well wow I mean

how did you do that what's the next page

gosh when I was your age I would have

never done that I me you know what

Granny's do

so she did that for two more months the

scores jumped to

50% kikam had caught up with my

controlled School in New Delhi a rich

private school with a trained

biotechnology teacher when I saw that

graph I knew there is a way to level the

playing

field here's

Kik neur neur neurons F and

I got the camera angle wrong in that

that one is just amateur stuff but what

she was saying uh as you could make out

was about neurons but her hands were

like that and she was saying neurons

communicate at

12 so what are jobs going to be like

well we know what they're like today

what's learning going to be like we know

what it's like today children pouring

over with their Mobile phones on the one

hand and then reluctantly going to

school to to pick up their books with

their other hand um what will it be

tomorrow could it be that we don't need

to go to school at

all could it be that at the point in

time when you need to know something you

can find out in 2

minutes could it be a devastating

question a question that was framed for

me by Nicholas negroponte could it be

that we are heading towards or maybe in

a future when knowing is obsolute e but

that's terrible we are Homo sapiens

knowing that's that's that's what

distinguishes us from the Apes but look

at it this way it took nature 100

million years to make the ape stand up

and become Homo sapiens it took us only

10,000 to make knowing obsolete what an

achievement that is but we have to

integrate that into our own

future encouragement seems to be the key

if you look at kupam if you look at all

of the experiments that I did it was

simply saying wow saluting

learning there is evidence from

Neuroscience The Reptilian part of our

brain which sits in the center of our

brain when it's threatened it shuts down

everything else it shuts down the

prefrontal cortex the parts which learn

it shuts all of that down punishment and

examinations are seen as threats we take

our children we make them shut their

brains down and then we say

perform why did they create a system

like that because it was needed there

was an age in the Age of Empires when

you needed those people who can survive

under threat when you're standing in a

trench all alone if you could have

survived you're okay you passed if you

didn't you

failed but the Age of Empires is gone

what happens to creativity in our age we

need to shift that balance back from

threat to pleasure I came back to

England looking for British

grandmothers I put out notices in paper

saying if you're a British grandmother

if you have broadband and a web camera

can you give me one hour of your time

per week for free I got 200 in the first

two weeks I know more British

grandmothers than anyone in the universe

they're called The Granny

Cloud the granny Cloud sits on the

internet if there's a child in in

trouble we beam a Gran she goes over she

goes on over Skype and she sorts things

out I've seen them do it from a village

called diggles in uh Northwestern

England uh deep inside a village in

Tamil Nadu India 6,000 mil away she does

it with only one age-old gesture

okay watch this you can't catch

me you

said you can't catch

me I'm the gingerbread

man well done very

good so what's happening here I think

what we need to look at at is you need

to look at

learning as the product of educational

self-organization if you allow the

educational process to self-organize

then learning emerges it's not about

making learning happen it's about

letting it happen the teacher

sets the process in motion and then she

stands back in awe and watches as

learning happens I think that's what all

this is pointing at but how will we know

how will we come to know but I intend to

build these self-organized learning

environments they are basically

Broadband collaboration and

encouragement put together I've tried

this in many many schools that's been

tried all over the world and teachers

sort of uh stand back and say it just

happens by itself and I said yeah it

happens by itself how did you know that

and I said uh you won't believe the

children who told me and where they're

from

he has a soul in

action this one is in

England uh he maintains Law and

Order cuz remember there's no teacher

[Music]

around

mole number of electrons is not equal to

the total number of protons giving it a

net positive or

negative electrical Char the net charge

on an ion is equal to the number of

protons in the ion minus the number of

electron a decade ahead of a

time so Souls I think we need a

curriculum of big questions you already

heard about that you know what what that

means there was a time when Stone Age

men and women used to sit and look up at

the sky and say what are those twinkling

lights they built the first curriculum

but we've lost sight of that wondrous

questions we've brought it down to the

tangent of an

angle but that's not that that's not

sexy

enough the way you would put it to a

9-year-old is to say if a meteorite was

coming to hit the

Earth how would you figure out if it was

going to or not and if he says well what

how you say there's a magic word it's

called the tangent of an angle and leave

him alone he'll figure it out so here

are a couple of images from

Souls I've tried incredible incredible

questions when did the world begin uh

how will it end to 9year olds this one's

about what happens to the air we breathe

this is done by children without the

help of Any teacher the teacher only

raises the question and then stands back

and admires the

answer so what's my

wish my wish

is that we design the future of

learning we don't want to be spare parts

for a great human computer do we so we

need to design a future for Learning and

I've got to hang on I've got to get this

wording exactly right because you know

it's very important my wish is to help

design a future of learning by

supporting children all over the world

to tap into their wonder and their

ability to work together help me build

this school it'll be called the school

in the

cloud it'll be a school where children

go on these intellectual Adventures

driven by the big questions which their

mediators put in the way I want to do

this is to build a facility where I can

study this it's a facility which is

practically unmanned there's only one

granny who who manages health and safety

the rest of it is from the cloud the

lights are turned on and off by the

cloud etc etc everything's done from the

cloud but I want you for another purpose

you can do self-organized learning

environments at home in the school

outside of school in clubs it's very

easy to do there's a great document

produced by Ted which tells you how to

do it if you would please please do it

across all five

continents and send me the data then

I'll put it all together move it into

the school of clouds and create the

future of learning that's my wish and

just one last thing I'll take you to the

top of the Himalayas at 12,000 ft where

the air is thin at once built two hole

in the wall computers and the children

flocked there there was this little girl

who was following me around and I said

to her you know I want to I want to give

a computer to everybody every child I

don't know what should I do and I was

trying to take a picture of her you know

quietly she suddenly raised her hand

like this and said to me get on with

it I think it was good advice I'll

follow her advice I'll stop talking

thank

you thank you very

much thank you very much WoW
