Israel is a large gap in school. In front of junior high science teacher sitting next to each students knowledge gap between them is the year, sometimes two and three. How teachers 'Trkh magic potion' such suit at once each of the students, abilities, style and rhythm of each. This is the million dollar question of teaching, how to give personal care, and clinical learning environment for each student she industries, and is closer to the factory and production line, with a ring, and a schedule, and quality control.
Finland, New Zealand and Canada have cracked the secret. By working in small groups with expert teachers, using diagnostic assessments of students routinised ways, teamwork supervision of teachers, real-time feedback, and individual and group support to address the difficulties. Their policy toquet instruments are not added to the hours or budget or preference of a problem, but the method of clinical work, professional, focused on personal response to each student.
I have two documents in hand for the conference and read them at the same time. The first is a document prepared by the education staff of the Van Leer Institute entitled "Education and broke", and the other is R & D staff of the Institute for Innovation entitled "When the start-up nation teenager." Ostensibly, the two documents are very similar, they are designed in a similar way, Even the process that led to the writing similar. They both look at the 21st century toquet and offer to Israel through her current situation. Both even call to invest in education as part of the way into the 21st century. But the similarity ends herein.
Educators and economists look into the 21st century with completely different glasses, each interprets the other reality, toquet almost can say one is black the other white. Education document repeated some concepts very negative context. Concepts of "economic", "competitive", "National", "privatization", "test", and "standards", all concepts described as part of the problem, and they appear in the document next to negative words such as "gaps", "damage", "flooding "," forced labor "," attenuation "and "ainstrumntli". But, those concepts really are rather bright spots of economic toquet document, talks about "preserving the competitiveness of the country", toquet "Israel toquet enhance toquet competitiveness", "expand toquet the circle of knowledge-based economy", "increase the number toquet of knowledge workers', "The global competed development", "national need", "regulation", "quality of life", "growth", a collaboration between sectors. "How will you apply this gap?
I can make things easy for myself, and argued that this is simply a position academic researcher A front researcher toquet B, or a research institute Sunday in front of a research institute B, one tends to a socialist ideology more, and the other a more capitalist, in terms of the 18th century toquet for some reason are still with us. But those were the easy life, because this argument takes place not only in academia, but also in the political field, as we have heard this morning. Who should determine in light of a vision and a worldview education system will work. Is it worried about the achievements of Israeli students on international tests and the ability toquet to compete in global markets, or it thinks that these tests do not measure the right things, important things in education are not measurable, and that the mere measurement of the results disrupts the natural laws of education?
This sterile debate disrupts the functional ability of the education system, and it is conducted on the backs of students and teachers. The debate is futile because both sides are right, the right education and also the educational left. Educational right right now more than ever that students need to know and know a lot, but only learn skills and critical toquet thinking without knowing, what they think, what they will analyze, toquet and what will be their audit quality? Even the educational left is right, because the focus on knowledge about not knowing, not transferable, projection, implementation and creation, he knew he had no purpose and no beneficial use.
OECD analyzes give us a window toquet into the states managed to significantly improve their educational achievement, as we heard from Prof. Van blood. These countries put aside this unnecessary debate, and decided to have the best of all worlds, private and public, business and government. They emphasize the knowledge, and develop thinking skills. What is very important is that these countries reached a broad consensus among all parties involved in education that learning is a linchpin of education. Values are important, and every educator community values, but as they say Finns The business of school is learning, and Hebrew, the central toquet role of the school is learning, it must agree.
The document proposed by a team of education of the Van Leer Institute, is a comprehensive document and it is important, and that greetings and appreciation. The document proposes to establish a think tank and only planning on using the tools of academic research and practical, this is an offer which joins reforms in infrastructure toquet Misc made in the education system dealt with the structure of the system and method budgeting, and so on. But is it really what it lacks in education, are these really the cranes will drive significant improvement? toquet
Who relies on evidence and looks at what countries do manage to education, sees a different image and other tools. They understood reserved for good makes all the difference. They have concluded that all the reforms dealing with the structure, budget, research, examinations, programs, technology and so on, all of them tried to act outside the classroom, but the classroom door remained closed, and it is life. They decided to try to influence what goes on in the classroom, meeting academic progress every day and almost all states, between teacher and student. Are attracted to teaching the best, and
