Do you still doubt that we need a paradigm shift in education?, and is that if we are able to reflect we will realize that everything in this world has been changing, except the educational system, which is boring for children, and is not aimed at learning but certification.
María Acaso has a disruptive view of education, and with his latest book, he proposes a rEDUvolution based on these five key ideas: to accept that what is taught is not what students learn; change power dynamics; enable the classroom to become an inhabited place; move from mock to experience; and design creative evaluation processes. It is not the first book that suggests transformation of the educational model, remember?
The term rEDUvolution by mixing the terms revolution and education points to the need to execute a real transformation in educational spaces
The author tells thatI sincerely believe that the toxic pedagogy we suffer, accompanied by bulimic processes installed in industrial paradigms, is seriously threatened. An artisan, happy and emancipatory education is what we defend the participants of the table and I think that also the people with whom we share the experience: little by little, but constantly, thousands of teachers, students and managers are taking the first steps towards the rEDUvolution'.
And with your permission, I intend to join that REDUvolution as a mother, in search of that emancipatory and happy education with which my children would be satisfied
Mary's vision also speaks of those invisible pedagogies ignored in traditional pedagogy… That is, in a classroom, students learn from the explicit (some slides, some indications), but also from the implicit: the organization of the classroom, the attitude of the teacher, the importance given to small details, lighting… Perhaps the Particular reflections on this topic help the model to change little by little.
You are not required to read “rEDUvolution”, but There are two factors to consider when considering the possibility: its visual and aesthetic aspects are super careful, the reader can intervene through notes and drawings embodied in the book itself. It is edited by Planet of Books, and costs 16.90 on paper and 11.99 on e-Pub.
Does anyone else want to add to this break with traditional paradigms? I ask it because now more than ever it is important to admit the little sense that pretends to understand the class in the same way as many years ago, and to repeat what is expected of them in the exam. That is not to look for creative people, that is not to motivate children, that is not to allow their active participation.
I will not end without telling you more in detail Who is María Acaso?, we read in the curriculum inserted in its page that she is a full professor of Artistic Education and director of the line of research on Education in Visual Arts Museums at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid. And that his main line of work 'is based on developing innovative pedagogical methodologies through which it is possible to decentralize the processes of knowledge generation through visual language in different educational contexts'. Recently he has participated in a workshop of the National Education Meeting.
