A new educational insight

Today I had an interesting experience.
I participated in a greet book launching event.
The book that I refer to is Howard Gardner's "Five Minds of the Future", an inspiring work sharing well structured ideas about how we shall "think" in the future times. The book is an interesting view of the "minds" that we have to educate for the future to our students/trainees...

These "minds" are:
- The Disciplinary Mind: the mastery of major schools of thought, including science, mathematics, and history, and of at least one professional craft.
- The Synthesizing Mind: the ability to integrate ideas from different disciplines or spheres into a coherent whole and to communicate that integration to others.
- The Creating Mind: the capacity to uncover and clarify new problems, questions and phenomena.
- The Respectful Mind: awareness of and appreciation for differences among human beings and human groups.
- The Ethical Mind: fulfillment of one's responsibilities as a worker and as a
citizen.

I consider that these are major values that will lead our future society: knowledge, innovation and social responsability.

The principle of responsability of the way we educate our future leaders in education, business and other major sectors is a sujbect to discuss.

from time to time... just try to analyze

Places and organizations.. people and habits, attitudes and believes... the diversity of the World.

Experiences change our life and we change ourselves by living it.

Informal education is an ongoing process of selfawarness. One process it or not. If not, it has no value. If so, it could change one's life.

Be aware!
Feel and analyse.
Think and analyse.
Act and analyse.

The most important changes are rising from decisions that you have analized as feelings, thoughts or actions.
