Méthode des six chapeaux La méthode des six chapeaux, extraite de l'ouvrage Six chapeaux pour penser[1],[2], est une méthode de structuration de la pensée personnelle ou de groupe, développée par Edward de Bono, permettant de résoudre les problèmes en favorisant la pensée critique et en évitant la censure précoce des idées nouvelles, dérangeantes ou inhabituelles[3]. Selon Karadag et al., cette méthode permet de développer la pensée créative en présentant et en systématisant des pensées et des suggestions dans un format spécifiquement défini[4]. Pour cela, les participants sont invités à aborder la question en prenant ensemble tour à tour différents « chapeaux » d'une couleur particulière. L'enjeu est de mobiliser un processus de « pensée parallèle » simple et efficace qui aide les gens à sortir des limites de l'étroitesse d'esprit, de la pensée unidirectionnelle et des positions fixes (De Bono, 1985[1]).

What Is Design Thinking? How might we engage students more deeply in reading? -- Karen, learning specialist How might we create a classroom space that is more centered around the needs and interests of the students? -- Michael, second-grade teacher How might we create a more collaborative culture for teachers at our school? -- Patrick, third-grade teacher How might we connect more with our neighborhood community? How might we create a district-wide approach to curriculum that engages the 21st century learner? As educators, we are designing every single day -- whether it's finding new ways to teach content more effectively, using our classroom space differently, developing new approaches to connecting with parents, or creating new solutions for our schools. Wherever they fall on the spectrum of scale -- the challenges facing educators today are real, complex, and varied. Design Thinking is one of them. Design Thinking is a process and a mindset It's human-centered It's collaborative It's experimental It's optimistic
The 80/20 Rule for Learning Transfer | Learning Management Systems | Digital Learning, Education, eLearning, Improve Learning, Mobile Learning To ensure learning transfer requires learning leaders to make specific provisions before an event starts. If 10 CLOs were asked how best to increase the value of learning, almost all would say the same thing: Increase the amount of learning transfer in the workplace. However, if the same CLOs were asked about their own learning transfer success, they likely will express disappointment. The lack of learning transfer has been a long-standing issue in the learning community, and research on how to increase it is both complex and contradictory. The Rule of Three: Practical and Effective There is a less costly approach to increase the desired learning transfer. The research identified 11 core activities that create a meaningful increase in learning transfer. To simplify research results, 11 factors were consolidated into three critical areas where organizations can improve learning transfer. Autodesk, a 3D design, engineering and entertainment software company, provides an example.
Critical Thinking Model 1 To Analyze Thinking We Must Identify and Question its Elemental Structures Standard: Clarityunderstandable, the meaning can be grasped Could you elaborate further? Could you give me an example? Could you illustrate what you mean? Standard: Accuracyfree from errors or distortions, true How could we check on that? Standard: Precisionexact to the necessary level of detail Could you be more specific? Standard: Relevancerelating to the matter at hand How does that relate to the problem? Standard: Depthcontaining complexities and multiple interrelationships What factors make this a difficult problem? Standard: Breadthencompassing multiple viewpoints Do we need to look at this from another perspective? Standard: Logicthe parts make sense together, no contradictions Does all this make sense together? Standard: Significancefocusing on the important, not trivial Is this the most important problem to consider? Standard: FairnessJustifiable, not self-serving or one-sided Think About...

The learning cycle and the power of asynchronous learning activities When grappling with the concept of learning I often talk about the importance of reflection. However, another key concept is asynchronicity (I’m not entirely sure that’s a word). I’ve reflected on this previously withinAsynchronous = Time and Space Learning. Learning is hard, really hard. I think this has contributed to the a vast mass of humans who don’t really know how to learn properly. A couple of asterisks to this post.

In fact most apps touch upon all different types of intelligences. I’ve tried to match all of my favorite educational apps with their corresponding intelligences. For those apps that matched with more than one, I’ve used equivalents. For example, Showme and Educreations are interactive whiteboard apps that have got the same functions and both fit in the Visual and Aural box. Just like I don’t believe all students fit only in one intelligence box either. Students can use whichever app they chose to study. Take the brilliant app “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. The debate whether Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences really excist or not has been contested quite a few times. Children do differ in their abilities with different modalities, but teaching the child in his best modality doesn‘t affect his educational achievement.

UNESCO Launches Global Portal to Track Open Access Image via Wikipedia The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has launched a Global Open Access Portal (GOAP). GOAP is an interesting website, designed to summarize the current status of open access to scientific information, especially from a regional and country-specific perspective. Key features include what UNESCO calls “critical assessments of major barriers to OA in each country; key organizations engaged in OA; and funding and deposit mandates.” UNESCO is clearly using the portal to promote OA, especially in developing countries, but most of the information is factual, not polemical. The content appears to be more encyclopedic than journalistic, and there is a lot of it. There is however a certain amount of pro-OA rhetoric. There is also a listing of major OA repositories, categorized by what GOAP calls thematic areas, which are basically disciplines, including Arts and Humanities. Like this: Like Loading...
The Ingredients Of A Creative Teacher - The Ingredients Of A Creative Teacher by Melissa Goodwin, creativist.io There is a lot of talk about creativity these days. Creativity drives innovation, it sparks new thinking, it enriches our lives, and it connects us to other human beings. While this is all wonderful and true, schools and educators find great difficulty in figuring out how to get more creative. Since creativity is individualized and it expresses itself in each person differently, it becomes difficult for educational systems entrenched in testing and standards to figure out how to unlock creativity in students. Here are three ingredients to cultivate creative teachers. 3 Seeds Of A Creative Classroom 1. “If you don’t know where you’re going, the road’ll take you there.” – the Cheshire Cat to Alice Any math teacher worth their salt will exclaim, “math is everywhere!” 2. Empowerment is not a gift bestowed upon you; empowerment comes from within. Every individual is filled with greatness and flaws. 3. This is the kicker.
Clive on Learning Today at 7pm, Michael Allen, Julie Dirksen, Clark Quinn and Will Thalheimer, backed by a raft of other well-respected thinkers and practitioners in the field of workplace learning technologies will be launching the Serious eLearning Manifesto. This campaign is the result of many years of discussions, lamentations and grumblings about the state of e-learning. It's time to do something about the problem before e-learning is discarded as a good idea that, in spite of 30 years of our best efforts, somehow never got to fulfil its potential. As usual, because this terminology means such different things to different people, I must clarify what sort of e-learning we're talking about here: the problem is with interactive, self-study materials accessed on a computer. We're not talking webinars, virtual classrooms, online video, social learning and all those other good things. So what is the problem with self-study e-learning? Unfortunately, throwing money at the problem is not enough.
5 tips to grow your start-up using SWOT analysis Having a strength greater than your competitor is irrelevant unless it is an important factor in customer decision making. As a start-up, how do you pinpoint these strengths? What can you do about it? If you have many competitors, and they offer equally attractive products and services, then you are unlikely to have great traction with customers. The use of SWOT Analysis allows a start-up business to identify your strengths, minimise your weaknesses, take advantage of opportunities and overcome threats. YOUR STRENGTHS: What are your key advantages in relation to problems and opportunities as defined by your target customer segment? YOUR VALUE: How do you develop a value proposition such that your target customers easily recognise your strengths as directly relevant to solving their specific problems? YOUR DIFFERENCE: How do you differentiate from your competition to make it easier for your prospective new customers to select you? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. inShare77
Knowing What to Do vs. Having the Will To Do It I've had a lot of conversations with people about the choices they face in their lives. We can spend hours trying to get clarity, trying to narrow choices and get to the heart of things. Days, weeks, months, even years can be spent trying to "figure things out." Most of the time this process is for naught because they are chasing the wrong question. Instead of asking "what do I want to do?' I've found that deep in their hearts, most people DO know what they want. If you truly don't know what you want to do, then by all means, explore and gather information. Clarity or courage--which is it you really need?
edutopia In school, we learn about geniuses and their ideas, but how did they get those ideas? What are the mental processes, attitudes, work habits, behaviors, and beliefs that enable creative geniuses to view the same things as the rest of us, yet see something different? The following are seven principles that I've learned during my lifetime of work in the field of creative thinking -- things that I wish I'd been taught as a student. 1. Artists are not special, but each of us is a special kind of artist who enters the world as a creative and spontaneous thinker. 2. You must show passion and the determination to immerse yourself in the process of developing new and different ideas. 3. When producing ideas, you replenish neurotransmitters linked to genes that are being turned on and off in response to challenges. 4. Your brain is a dynamic system that evolves patterns of activity, rather than simply processing them like a computer. 5. Aristotle believed that things were either "A" or "not A."
