Perigosa propaganda liberal que quer promover a precariedade (parte IV)

"As one executive told me, ‘We can teach new hires the content, and we will have to because it continues to change, but we can’t teach them how to think - to ask the right questions - and to take initiative.’ ” (Moi ici: Recordo o desabafo de um empresário-gestor, esta semana, desanimado por reconhecer que as entrevistas de recrutamento que fazia não cumprem a finalidade. Contrata altos CVs com, descobre depois, deficiente espírito de iniciativa)

 My generation had it easy. We got to “find” a job. But, more than ever, our kids will have to “invent” a job. (Fortunately, in today’s world, that’s easier and cheaper than ever before.) Sure, the lucky ones will find their first job, but, given the pace of change today, even they will have to reinvent, re-engineer and reimagine that job much more often than their parents if they want to advance in it. If that’s true, I asked Wagner, what do young people need to know today?
.
“Every young person will continue to need basic knowledge, of course,” he said. “But they will need skills and motivation even more. Of these three education goals, motivation is the most critical. Young people who are intrinsically motivated - curious, persistent, and willing to take risks - will learn new knowledge and skills continuously. They will be able to find new opportunities or create their own - a disposition that will be increasingly important as many traditional careers disappear.”

E, relaciono isto com:

" Technical knowledge is like the recipes in a cookbook. It is formulas telling you roughly what is to be done. It is reducible to rules and directions. It’s the sort of knowledge that can be captured in lectures and bullet points and memorized by rote.
.
Right now, online and hybrid offerings seem to be as good as standard lectures at transmitting this kind of knowledge, and, in the years ahead, they are bound to get better — more imaginatively curated, more interactive and with better assessments.
.
The problem is that as online education becomes more pervasive, universities can no longer primarily be in the business of transmitting technical knowledge.
...
Practical knowledge is not about what you do, but how you do it. It is the wisdom a great chef possesses that cannot be found in recipe books. Practical knowledge is not the sort of knowledge that can be taught and memorized; it can only be imparted and absorbed. It is not reducible to rules; it only exists in practice. (Moi ici: Este parágrafo devia ser lido por tantos e tantos empresários que só sabem competir pelo preço, ou que são incapazes de competir no mercado onde o preço reina. O low-cost lida com o matematizável, lida com o que aparece numa receita, lida com o objectivo... uma forma de fugir do low-cost é apostar no que é subjectivo, no que não se reduz a um algoritmo, é apostar no mistério, na arte, na experiência)
...
So far, most of the talk about online education has been on technology and lectures, but the important challenge is technology and seminars. So far, the discussion is mostly about technical knowledge, but the future of the universities is in practical knowledge." (Moi ici: Se ler isto, quem se vai passar com isto de contente é a Sandra Alves, alguém que pensa nestes moldes há muito tempo e que já me ensinou a visualizar uma nova realidade para a escola e para a formação do futuro. Como ela disse, conjugar a Kahn Academy com a escola: O TPC é estudar a matéria, as aulas são para praticar e tirar dúvidas)

BTW, por que é que eterno candidato à presidência da república é muito mais popular que os catedráticos nos cursos de pós graduação de algumas universidades? Os alunos gostam das aulas dele porque o homem transpira casos práticos, os catedráticos não têm esse conhecimento... do que eu me fui lembrar. Eheheh e falam da escola que temos para massificar a educação de adultos.
