Acknowledging de Bono:
• Imagine a ship at sea that is in trouble. Thelights keep going out.
• The engine is faltering. The rudder is
unreliable. The first mate is drunk.• The crew is very demoralised. The service is
appalling.
•The passengers on the ship are verydissatisfied.

Then a new captain and first mate
are flown in by helicopter
• Everything changes.
• Crew morale is lifted
• Service improves
• The engine is fixed
• The rudder is fixed
• The lights stay on• Everything seems fine.

• But the ship is still headed in the
wrong direction

New directions driving creative
teaching
• The movement towards constructivism
• An appreciation of learning styles ( sensory)
• An understanding that learners have differentinformation processing styles ( styles forconstructing learning)
• Availability of technology to enable the overallgoal of personalization of the learningexperience

Vintage of the clasical educational
model
• The Universities of Bologna ( Italy),
Paris ( France) and Oxford ( England) were all
created about 400 years before Gutenberg’s
printing press was created.
• Schools are seen largely as preparation
platforms for higher education
• Is that a good model for a post internet post
WTO post mobile phone world?

Saya, the robot teacher launched in
Japan
• ‘She’ has a latex face, modelled on a university
student, controlled by 18 motors to create
expressions including happiness,
• surprise,• fear,
• disgust,
•
sadness and• even anger.

Waiting for recognition…
• Saya will start teaching full-time after passinga trial term at a Tokyo primary.
• Her creator, science professor Hiroshi
Kobayashi, had been working on the robot for15 years.
• The original, named Pikarin, had a metal head
with exposed wires and levers.

Service conditions ?
• Salary, tenure and other benefits have yet to
be decided, but perhaps a special type of
teachers’ union may well be in the works!

Encouraging constructivism
• Learners learn by fitting new information towhat they already know
• Thus prior knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of
the learners plays an important role• Collaborative learning environments and
contexts for team-work must be created
•
The key notion in this new "constructivisttheory" is that people learn best by activelyconstructing their own understanding.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 28/66
12 Principles of Constructivist
teaching
1. "The brain is a parallel processor". It simultaneously processes manydifferent types of information, including thoughts, emotions, andcultural knowledge. Effective teaching employs a variety of learningstrategies.
2. "Learning engages the entire physiology". Teachers can't address just the intellect.
3. "The search for meaning is innate". Effective teaching recognizesthat meaning is personal and unique, and that students'
understandings are based on their own unique experiences.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 29/66
Constructivist teaching
4. "The search for meaning occurs through 'patterning' ". Effectiveteaching connects isolated ideas and information with globalconcepts and themes.
5. "Emotions are critical to patterning". Learning is influenced byemotions, feelings, and attitudes.
6. "The brain processes parts and wholes simultaneously". Peoplehave difficulty learning when either parts or wholes are overlooked.
7. "Learning involves both focused attention and peripheralperception". Learning is influenced by the environment, culture,and climate.
8/2/2019 Identify Creative Learning Approaches
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 30/66
Constructivist teaching
8. "Learning always involves conscious and unconscious processes".Students need time to process 'how' as well as 'what' they've learned.
9. "We have at least two different types of memory: a spatial memorysystem, and a set of systems for rote learning". Teaching that heavilyemphasizes rote learning does not promote spatial, experienced
learning and can inhibit understanding.10. "We understand and remember best when facts and skills areembedded in natural, spatial memory". Experiential learning is mosteffective.
11. "Learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by threat". Theclassroom climate should be challenging but not threatening to
students.12. "Each brain is unique". Teaching must be multifaceted to allow studentsto express preferences.

Pedagogies based on constructivism
• Learning is accomplished best using a hands-on approach
• Learners learn by experimentation, and not by being toldwhat will happen. They are left to make their own inferences,
discoveries and conclusions.
• It emphasizes that learning is not an "all or nothing" processbut that students learn the new information that is presented
to them by building upon knowledge that they alreadypossess.
• It is therefore a process of continuous improvement.

Teacher's Role in Pedagogies based on
constructivism
• To not only observe and assess but also engage with the studentswhile they are completing activities, wondering aloud and posingquestions to the students for promotion of reasoning.
• To intervene when the conflicts arise; however, they simplyfacilitate the students' resolutions and self-regulation, with anemphasis on the conflict being the students' and that they mustfigure things out for themselves.
• To encourage the students to write or draw stories of their own, orby having the students reenact a story that they may know well;both activities encourage the students to conceive themselves asreader and writers.

Connectivism
“At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that
knowledge is distributed across a network of
connections, and therefore that learning
consists of the ability to construct and traverse
those networks.”

Moving from a mere lecture to the creation
of a learning event
• It is not enough that a lecture was taken
• The learning transactions are more
important
• Did learning take place?
• Did an interest in more learning take place?
• Did the learner learn how to learn?
8/2/2019 Identify Creative Learning Approaches
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 36/66
• The answer is creative learning and teaching

Creating the Eureka moments…..
• Designed to lead to moments of
enlightenment in which the cognitive conflicts
in the minds of the learner are removed, and
he exclaims “wow, this is wonderful…I neverknew this…isn’t it fascinating…...etc” in a spirit
similar to the Eureka moment of Archimedes

• Incidental
• Discovery
• Inductive
• Deductive

Apprentice
• A “ building block” approach for presenting
concepts in a step by step procedural learning
styles
• Basically needs to be spoon fed
8/2/2019 Identify Creative Learning Approaches
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 57/66
Incidental
• Based on ‘events’ that trigger the learningexperience.
• The events usually occur in a less formal
context, and often assume a story format.• Learners begin with an event that introduces a
concept and provokes questions

Discovery
• An inquiry method of learning in which
students learn by doing, testing the
boundaries of their own knowledge
8/2/2019 Identify Creative Learning Approaches
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 59/66
Inductive
• Learners are first introduced to a concept or a
target principle using specific examples that
pertain to a broader topic area
8/2/2019 Identify Creative Learning Approaches
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/identify-creative-learning-approaches 60/66
Deductive
• Based on the discernments of trends through
the presentation of data, simulations, graphs,
charts or other data
