Old Educational System
Sir Ken Robinson

TEL New Educational Paradigm

21st Century Creative TELLL
with Dr. Margarida Romero
Université Laval, Québec , CA

The principle goal of education in the schools should be
creating men and women who are capable of doing new
things, not simply repeating what other generations have
done; men and women who are creative, inventive and
discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept,
everything they are offered. Be one with the universe, and
so very identical to it that he does not
even feel the need for two terms.

Learning Theory for Pedagogy

New Brain Research
Creativity &
Mirror Neurons

Cognitive Plasticity: Open Mind
• Ability to
– learn and improve
cognitive skills
– remodel connections
between neurons
– allow the brain to adapt
• Brain prediction
responsible for mental
boxes

Kounios & Beeman, The Eureka Factor, 2015

Brain Predicts for Safety

The "nine dots" puzzle. The goal of the puzzle is
to link all 9 dots using four straight lines or fewer,
without lifting the pen and without tracing the
same line more than once.

Insight Thinking Processes

INITIAL INSIGHTS

New Competencies
• Our classical perception may be just an approximation of
the actual realty
• Left hemisphere: objective, analytical, logical or classical
• Right hemisphere: informational, holistic, continuous,
patterns, gestalts, subjective or quantum mechanical
• World: left brain functionalities which makes our abilities
and competencies inadequate for the new century
• Move from: individual self-perception to a more unified
perception of our world
• Both parts of our brains can function as a unity much
faster providing more accurately perception of reality
• Re-Consider the whole educational and corporate
system as they currently function

Creativity Techniques
Too many!

Divergent & Convergent Thinking
• Idea Generation - The divergent process of coming up
with new ideas.
• Idea Evaluation & Selection - The convergent process of
reducing all the many ideas into realistic solutions

e.g. Suspension
• Not thinking
• Forget
everything
you know
(Fransisco Varela’s
Suspension)

e.g. Post-It Notes (IDEO)

e.g. Brain Storming
1. Focus on particular problem
2. Suspend judgement
3. Assurance for safety on any ideas brought on the table
4. Serial discussion as one conversation at a time
5. Build on ideas * Evaluation
