Critical Thinking

Questioning Paradigms about Education

Preparation:

In groups of two, discover:

1. What is critical thinking?
2. What is a paradigm?
3. What is ADHD?  What is used to treat it?  Why are people diagnosed with ADHD?
4. Who is Sir Ken Robinson?

You are now going to listen to two lectures by Sir Ken Robinson who thinks critically  about traditional views of education.

'Multiple Intelligences'

'Changing Education Paradigms'

You will hear the first lecture once and the second lecture twice.

While you are listening, make notes in line with the following questions:

1.  What is Sir Ken Robinson's view of traditional paradigms of intelligence and education?

AND

2.  To what extent do you agree with him?

Discuss what you have found in groups of four.
