I was deeply saddened by Sir Ken Robinson's passing. I have learned so much about our broken educational system from him. The world will be just a bit not as good now.
However, I feel the real gem from Ken's talk was that our "inner worlds" have vast potential, and we can benefit greatly from exploring our respective inner world and tapping into that potential.
Sir Ken Robinson, what a delight to hear him delivering the most important message: How to educate ourselves getting out of the confusion of ideas and notions putting us down. Thank you, thank you, thank you....
I like lectures of Ser Ken Robinsons not just because he is essentially a very, very smart stand-up comedian but also that the comments below the videos are very, very smart, too.
The always inspiring Sir Ken Robinson delivers another important message. There are actually two parts of that message that resonate more profoundly with me here: - Our education system must do better at developing the very different creative and intellectual gifts of learners, in all their diversity. - Technology is offering us the possibility to personalize education, to help the talents of our learners flourish, if we realize that standardization of education is a disservice to us all.
Oh, just how Sir Ken is (intelligent)! This year has been declared the Year of Comenius here in CZ. I'm gonna play this talk in class! Grammar school English, if you asked.
Both a friendly, yet scathing, critique of the status quo - and a reminder of what genuine education means in a time of exponential technological change. Inspiring on more than a few levels.
This speech almost made me cry. I sometimes wonder how it is that the educational system I have to go through to get the absurd piece of paper that says I am qualified expect me to accomplish mindless, uninteresting, meaningless tasks in the most standardized fashion and enjoy it. I'm neither stupid, lazy, depressed, I'm just bored out of my mind. I can think of so many better ways to evaluate what I have learned... and ways that would give my professors a much more pleasant time correcting.
So true. I recently got my stupid piece of paper and, just last week, a decent job. Everyday, I sat in class I felt like my time was being wasted. It was soooo hard to sit still and focus. And multiple choice tests are such a fucking joke. At least I'm done, and my student loan debt is less than $13,000. I know people in worse positions than me.
@NicholsKT your mention of student loans reminds me of the waste of talent that they produce where people with that diploma have to work out of their field of interest in fast food or other low paying industries before they can apprentice in whatever they are trained to be. What a waste of potential
I have an interesting idea, that was provoked by Sir Ken's message on creative/intellectual talents. What if we are limited in our opportunities to expand our abilities because of cost, learning tracks & time. What I mean is when you are in K-12 you are told what to study and a time to complete it in. And in University if you are studying a particular major you are told what to study. World Mentoring Academy is a Free, self pace K-Grad School(1,000 courses) study whatever you have an interest in
@ Michael Williams look into the talks on TED and elsewhere...fake it til you make it....many of the wealthiest and most achieved people did not graduate. Sir Ken points out a vital difference in TED talks also between traditional archaic education systems and necessary trades. You idea is good
Not so long ago, the idea of cultivating our inner world and spirituality was considered kind of like New Age bullshit. At present, every psychologist, doctor--and now educators, which I´m really pleased about--who want to get a real picture of what a human being actually is, talk about the inner world and sipirituality! It was about time!
Does anyone know the name of the person he quotes around the 12m mark: "There is the world that exists whether or not you exist and then there's the world that exists because you exist" ?
2) Tests should be very specialized, so people can choose what they like and need. That will make education less forced and teach people how to make choices from young age and give them a sense of freedom. Very specialized tests will make each step to seem quick n easy, and give a sense of freedom to try new and quit, without loosing much. It will remove social aspect from education in some cases, so there should be a separate system for socialization. IMHO it will be much better.
Great speech! Especially like that comparison of planet to us which George Carlin used once before. About where I would put myself on the scale of creativity and intelligence from 1-10 it would be always 5 and I wouldnt like to go below or above it. Being somewhere in the middle offers plenty of space for creativity to either grow or fall but both r balanced and feel good. If u fall from number 9 or 8 it quite hurts but from 5 its fine ;)
And you just made me realize there's an interesting link between Malcolm Gladwell's amazing TED Talk and my latest video, Failing Superman. I submit this very humbly as I don't pretend to be as forward thinking as Mr. Gladwell who was already talking about this in 2004! But I try ;o). Let me know what you think!
Love it, find it utterly inspirational and thought-provoking, however, the last section about saving the planet follows the structure of G. Carlin's one of earlier shows. No problem with it of course, but once you realize it, you can't get it out of your head :)
Anyone know the name of the person he quotes ( Robert ??) when he talks about the world that exists whether or not we exist and the world that exists because we exist?
Kind of reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce... There is no one type of spaghetti sauce that every single person in the world will enjoy. In the same way, there is no "one size fits all" education that works for everyone.
Sir Ken has wonderful ideas for education and Jacque Fresco has the practical solutions to the rest of our global problems (which are technical). He's dedicated 85+ yrs designing a system to move us beyond politics, poverty, war by changing our center-of-gravity from money to the intelligent mgmnt o/t earth's resources. We must change the intention of how our science/tech is being used, which, let's face it, it's in very scary hands. Anyway, if you're really open to new paradigms visit thevenusproject dotcom to meet the continuation of ppl like DaVinci, Tesla & Bucky Fuller. From a 65 yr old gramma who feels a Resource Based Economy is one of those ideas "whose time has come" Respect, Gramma D "^_^"
Hey Gramma D be careful what you ask for. The Venus Project and the entire Zeitgeist org stands for population control. I'm not necessarily ready to live like a Rwandan and when they become serious about population control keep in mind that as a "Gramma" you will have a shelf life. Sir Ken certainly makes it all sound attractive.
mustbeburtreynolds I disagree. It's just an opinion. There is nothing in my comments that should elicit a response such as small minded fear mongering. Is that your patent response when you disagree? So sorry if I frightened you.
Curious what peoples opinions are on a guy who is in his 30's, jack of all trades. I am an artist, take car engines apart, and tinker with a whole lot of technology. I even have a 3d printer. ...but I work in the oil and gas industry. I have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time. I'm not a great leader, but I know good things before they happen. I've made lots of money via my job, and the stock market, but need to focus on accomplishing one task at a time. I don't like the idea of taking drugs like adderall, or whatever does the job, but I'm the type of guy that deals with millions of dollars and wants to accomplish things. I've got several projects on the go. Ideas?
That's awesome. But still it's just a patch on the system that should have been replaced long ago.There should be separate systems for socialization and acquiring skills.Government should have an institution to test for knowledge and skills.And when and how people acquire that knowledge is up to them. Government will just give money previously wasted on education system to those who pass tests.In result we will have a market,which will have a motivation to create the best education possible.
The over prescription of anti-psychotics has a clear cause, and it's unrelated to the content of his lecture. It's a reflection of a mass avoidance of "potentially" "abusable" medications. So most of those anti-psychotics are prescribed off-label, for their side-effects, to promote sleep or reduce anxiety. This is far more dangerous than the avoided medications, which are directly targeted to those concerns, without flattening out a personality. In addition this puritanical ideology is backed by tons of pharmaceutical money, which pushed people off older established drugs, to newer on patent drugs.. summery, it's about money funding a self-interested ideology, and the medical establishment serving itself rather than it's individual patients. O and it's not limited to this example, whats happening to pain patients is also horrific.
Sorry Sir Robinson, but apart from those principles our educational system are NOT great at all: it is all garbage, starting with the lecture system based on one way communication, catering to science based interest but even that at a primitive level (telling you what to think, instead of allowing to explore) and the list could go on and on!
Speaking on education, haven't we out grown evolution? Speaking on spiritual education. Its funny how some Believer's in Jesus will now call him Yeshua (Hebrew Name) and will take back the 66 books of the bible and allow history to provide the Truth of Scripture instead of religious sects. Yahweh nor Yeshua ever created a religion Yahweh made promises through convenants.
Ca sa-ti dovedesc ca grila ta este prea mica pentru IQ-ul meu, Eugen, îți atrag atenția ca media este mult mai bătrână decât noi doi, paginile sociale de pe net în schimb sunt tinere și neliniștite.
He is not as funny as he thinks he is. This humour detracts from his message. People remember that they laughed but ask them what was important about what he said and that is something different.

R.I.P. Sir Ken Robinson. Your legend will live on.
He is just right in all of his ideas, and I am an absolute fan of his talks!
mee too!
The more his videos I watch, the more I like and believe he makes sense.
I was deeply saddened by Sir Ken Robinson's passing. I have learned so much about our broken educational system from him. The world will be just a bit not as good now.

Sir Ken, you still remain my favorite educational speaker! Thank you for inspiring and teaching me.

He takes us to a different plane every time
Raja Dawn yes! During his speech I was in a Lufthansa Boeing. Were has he taken you?

Too bad he's not around anymore to make more videos! I really like everything about them...
Inspiring and entertaining speaker always worth listening to.

Sir Ken Robinson es brillante! Él recuerda a todos nosotros que somos creativos.

I always thought that what Carlin said regarding the planet is surprinsingluy true, good to see Ken Robinson quoting him.

Great speech.
"and now we have the technology to make personnalised programm".
Totally agree with this.
I'd note Mr Robinson's ideas are quite inline with Mr Khan's ones, that talk about non-linear knowledge accumulation by the pupils.
Does anyone know the name of the person he quotes around the 12m mark: "There is the world that exists whether or not you exist and then there's the world that exists because you exist" ?
Thanks Sir Ken Robinson!
I won the competition at freshers week umist 1986, 8.5 pints without going for a wee. ive since built robots but im proud of my bladder capacity.

Let us believe it is truly so! Kindly regards.
He's so right about Microsoft Word. I mean, he's right about the rest too, but Microsoft Word needs to brush up on its English.
Kind of reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce... There is no one type of spaghetti sauce that every single person in the world will enjoy. In the same way, there is no "one size fits all" education that works for everyone.
Let's get the education revolution from TH-cam to the classroom, check out our channel to see how you can help!
He's in his element :)
Beautiful.
Sir Ken asks how smart one thinks one is, with 'Ten' at the top. Is there a 'top' of the scale? How is there anything less than the top??
I was waiting for 11.
8:48 that laughter in the background xD
Suggestopedia is the cure he is looking for!
Alguien que traduzca esto a español por favor!
amazing
Great stuff....minus all that lip smacking!

What do u want for ur self.
Everything.
walperstyle But you cant have everything,none does.
***** Well he should define it then :)
I think I need hard drugs to focus on one thing at a time. I literally have so many things on the go.
