AustLit: The Australian Literature Resource How to Kill Your Child's Creativity Nuria from the The Adventures Archive is here today to share some great advice on nurturing creativity within the young makers in our lives. Kids are born creative geniuses. But unfortunately, by the time they reach the third or fourth grade, their creativity has sunk. With intelligence, there is a phenomenon called the Flynn effect: each generation, scores go up about 10 points because enriched environments make kids smarter. These are some of the most effective creativity killers: Rewards: scientific research has demonstrated that rewards inhibit children’s exploration and imagination. Creativity flourishes when things are done for enjoyment. Nuria Pérez Paredes is a creative director who worked in advertising for many years. Know someone else who would enjoy this activity?

10 Benefits Of Inquiry-Based Learning | TeachThought 10 Benefits Of Inquiry-Based Learning by TeachThought Staff Inquiry-based learning is a term that educators and parents alike hear bandied about without a clear sense of exactly what it is, why it’s effective, how it works, and what its benefits are. For now, let’s define inquiry-based learning simply as an open-ended approach to learning guided by students through questions, research, and/or curiosity. Sketch-noter Sylvia Duckworth took Trevor MacKenzie’s ideas on the benefits on inquiry-based learning and put together the image above.

La coopération, c’est politique ! « Aucun d’entre nous n’a choisi le métier d’enseignant pour faire réussir seulement les élèves issus des milieux les plus favorisés. Et pourtant, c’est bien ce qui se produit. Notre école se veut égalitaire mais elle est en fait élitiste et injuste. » C’est donc un véritable projet politique que défend Sylvain Connac, lorsqu’il promeut la différenciation pédagogique et la coopération comme pistes pour remédier aux difficultés scolaires de certains élèves. Il cite le rapport du CESE (Conseil économique, social et environnemental) de 2015, intitulé « École et grande pauvreté ». Rédigé conjointement avec le rapport du CESE, celui de Jean-Paul Delahaye, inspecteur général de l’Éducation nationale, dénonce le cynisme de l’« égalité des chances » et propose de parler plutôt d’ « égalité des droits ». Différenciation ou diversification pédagogique ? Qu’est-ce que la coopération ? Dessin d’Emilie Pradel Il existe un certain nombre de déclinaisons de la coopération en classe. Cécile Blanchard

10 Ways to Spot a Fake News Article - EasyBib Blog For many of us, 2016 is going down as a year to forget.

Source: JDD papier Why your most important relationship is with your inner voice | Psychology As Ethan Kross, an American experimental psychologist and neuroscientist, will cheerfully testify, the person who doesn’t sometimes find themselves listening to an unhelpful voice in their head probably doesn’t exist. Ten years ago, Kross found himself sitting up late at night with a baseball bat in his hand, waiting for an imaginary assailant he was convinced was about to break into his house – a figure conjured by his frantic mind after he received a threatening letter from a stranger who’d seen him on TV. Kross, whose area of research is the science of introspection, knew that he was overreacting; that he had fallen victim to what he calls “chatter”. But telling himself this did no good at all. At the peak of his anxiety, his negative thoughts running wildly on a loop, he found himself, somewhat comically, Googling “bodyguards for academics”. Does this mean that it’s not, after all, good to talk? But if such noise can be paralysing, it can also be self-sabotaging.
