TED: 怎样从错误中学习

Diana Laugenberg:How to learn? From mistakes

讲者分享了其多年从教中所认识到的一从错误中学习的观念“允许孩子失败，把失败视为学习的一部分”，以及从教育实践中学到的三件事：“1.体验学习的过程 2.倾听学生的声音 3.接纳错误的失败。” TED演讲文本：

0:15 I have been teaching for a long time, and in doing so have acquired a body of knowledge aboutkids and learning that I really wish more people would understand about the potential ofstudents.In 1931, my grandmother--bottom left for you guys over here--graduated from theeighth grade.She went to school to get the information because that's where the informationlived.It was in the books;it was inside the teacher's head;and she needed to go there to getthe information, because that's how you learned.Fast-forward a generation: this is the one-roomschoolhouse, Oak Grove, where my father went to a one-room schoolhouse.And he again hadto travel to the school to get the information from the teacher, stored it in the only portablememory he has, which is inside his own head, and take it with him, because that is howinformation was being transported from teacher to student and then used in the world.When Iwas a kid, we had a set of encyclopedias at my house.It was purchased the year I was born,and it was extraordinary, because I did not have to wait to go to the library to get to theinformation.The information was inside my house and it was awesome.This was different thaneither generation had experienced before, and it changed the way I interacted with informationeven at just a small level.But the information was closer to me.I could get access to it.1:34 In the time that passes between when I was a kid in high school and when I started teaching,we really see the advent of the Internet.Right about the time that the Internet gets going as aneducational tool, I take off from Wisconsin and move to Kansas, small town Kansas, where Ihad an opportunity to teach in a lovely, small-town, rural Kansas school district, where I wasteaching my favorite subject, American government.My first year--super gung-ho--going toteach American government, loved the political system.Kids in the 12th grade: not exactly allthat enthusiastic about the American government system.Year two: learned a few things--hadto change my tactic.And I put in front of them an authentic experience that allowed them tolearn for themselves.I didn't tell them what to do or how to do it.I posed a problem in front ofthem, which was to put on an election forum for their own community.2:27 They produced flyers.They called offices.They checked schedules.They were meeting withsecretaries.They produced an election forum booklet for the entire town to learn more abouttheir candidates.They invited everyone into the school for an evening of conversation aboutgovernment and politics and whether or not the streets were done well, and really had thisrobust experiential learning.The older teachers--more experienced--looked at me and went, “Oh, there she is.That's so cute.She's trying to get that done.”(Laughter)“She doesn't knowwhat she's in for.” But I knew that the kids would show up, and I believed it, and I told themevery week what I expected out of them.And that night, all 90 kids--dressed appropriately,doing their job, owning it.I had to just sit and watch.It was theirs.It was experiential.It wasauthentic.It meant something to them.And they will step up.3:17 From Kansas, I moved on to lovely Arizona, where I taught in Flagstaff for a number of years,this time with middle school students.Luckily, I didn't have to teach them American government.Could teach them the more exciting topic of geography.Again, “thrilled” to learn.But what wasinteresting about this position I found myself in in Arizona, was I had this really extraordinarilyeclectic group of kids to work with in a truly public school, and we got to have these momentswhere we would get these opportunities.And one opportunity was we got to go and meet PaulRusesabagina, which is the gentleman that the movie “Hotel Rwanda” is based after.And hewas going to speak at the high school next door to us.We could walk there.We didn't evenhave to pay for the buses.There was no expense cost.Perfect field trip.4:04 The problem then becomes how do you take seventh-and eighth-graders to a talk aboutgenocide and deal with the subject in a way that is responsible and respectful, and they knowwhat to do with it.And so we chose to look at Paul Rusesabagina as an example of a gentlemanwho singularly used his life to do something positive.I then challenged the kids to identifysomeone in their own life, or in their own story, or in their own world, that they could identify thathad done a similar thing.I asked them to produce a little movie about it.It's the first time we'ddone this.Nobody really knew how to make these little movies on the computer, but they wereinto it.And I asked them to put their own voice over it.It was the most awesome moment ofrevelation that when you ask kids to use their own voice and ask them to speak for themselves,what they're willing to share.The last question of the assignment is: how do you plan to useyour life to positively impact other people? The things that kids will say when you ask them andtake the time to listen is extraordinary.5:05 Fast-forward to Pennsylvania, where I find myself today.I teach at the Science LeadershipAcademy, which is a partnership school between the Franklin Institute and the school district ofPhiladelphia.We are a nine through 12 public school, but we do school quite differently.I movedthere primarily to be part of a learning environment that validated the way that I knew that kidslearned, and that really wanted to investigate what was possible when you are willing to let go ofsome of the paradigms of the past, of information scarcity when my grandmother was in schooland when my father was in school and even when I was in school, and to a moment when wehave information surplus.So what do you do when the information is all around you? Why doyou have kids come to school if they no longer have to come there to get the information? 5:51 In Philadelphia we have a one-to-one laptop program, so the kids are bringing in laptops withthem everyday, taking them home, getting access to information.And here's the thing that youneed to get comfortable with when you've given the tool to acquire information to students, isthat you have to be comfortable with this idea of allowing kids to fail as part of the learningprocess.We deal right now in the educational landscape with an infatuation with the culture ofone right answer that can be properly bubbled on the average multiple choice test, and I amhere to share with you: it is not learning.That is the absolute wrong thing to ask, to tell kids tonever be wrong.To ask them to always have the right answer doesn't allow them to learn.Sowe did this project, and this is one of the artifacts of the project.I almost never show them offbecause of the issue of the idea of failure.6:45 My students produced these info-graphics as a result of a unit that we decided to do at the endof the year responding to the oil spill.I asked them to take the examples that we were seeing ofthe info-graphics that existed in a lot of mass media, and take a look at what were theinteresting components of it, and produce one for themselves of a different man-made disasterfrom American history.And they had certain criteria to do it.They were a little uncomfortablewith it, because we'd never done this before, and they didn't know exactly how to do it.Theycan talk--they're very smooth, and they can write very, very well, but asking them tocommunicate ideas in a different way was a little uncomfortable for them.But I gave them theroom to just do the thing.Go create.Go figure it out.Let's see what we can do.And thestudent that persistently turns out the best visual product did not disappoint.This was done inlike two or three days.And this is the work of the student that consistently did it.7:39 And when I sat the students down, I said, “Who's got the best one?” And they immediatelywent, “There it is.” Didn't read anything.“There it is.” And I said, “Well what makes it great?”And they're like, “Oh, the design's good, and he's using good color.And there's some...” Andthey went through all that we processed out loud.And I said, “Go read it.” And they're like, “Oh,that one wasn't so awesome.” And then we went to another one--it didn't have great visuals,but it had great information--and spent an hour talking about the learning process, because itwasn't about whether or not it was perfect, or whether or not it was what I could create.Itasked them to create for themselves, and it allowed them to fail, process, learn from.And whenwe do another round of this in my class this year, they will do better this time, because learninghas to include an amount of failure, because failure is instructional in the process.8:29 There are a million pictures that I could click through here, and had to choose carefully--this isone of my favorites--of students learning, of what learning can look like in a landscape wherewe let go of the idea that kids have to come to school to get the information, but instead, askthem what they can do with it.Ask them really interesting questions.They will not disappoint.Ask them to go to places, to see things for themselves, to actually experience the learning, toplay, to inquire.This is one of my favorite photos, because this was taken on Tuesday, when Iasked the students to go to the polls.This is Robbie, and this was his first day of voting, and hewanted to share that with everybody and do that.But this is learning too, because we askedthem to go out into real spaces.9:20 The main point is that, if we continue to look at education as if it's about coming to school to getthe information and not about experiential learning, empowering student voice and embracingfailure, we're missing the mark.And everything that everybody is talking about today isn'tpossible if we keep having an educational system that does not value these qualities, becausewe won't get there with a standardized test, and we won't get there with a culture of one rightanswer.We know how to do this better, and it's time to do better.0:15

我从事教师工作很长一段时间了，而在我教书的过程当中我学了很多关于孩子与学习的知识我非常希望更多人可以了解学生的潜能。1931年,我的祖母从你们那边看过来左下角那位--从八年级毕业。她上学是去获取知识因为在过去,那是知识存在的地方知识在书本里,在老师的脑袋里，而她需要专程到学校去获得这些知识，因为那是当时学习的途径快进过一代：这是个只有一间教室的学校,Oak Grove，我父亲就是在这间只有一个教室的学校就读。而同样的,他不得不去上学以从老师那儿取得知识，然后将这些知识储存在他唯一的移动内存,那就是他自己的脑袋里，然后将这些随身携带，因为这是过去知识被传递的方式从老师传给学生,接着在世界上使用。当我还小的时候，我们家里有一套百科全书。从我一出生就买了这套书，而那是非常了不起的事情，因为我不需要等着去图书馆取得这些知识，这些信息就在我的屋子里而那真是太棒了。这是和过去相比,是非常不同的这改变了我和信息互动的方式即便改变的幅度很小。但这些知识却离我更近了。我可以随时获取它们。
