SYNOPSIS

Living in a world and era of specialization of all kinds, today's students are being offered fragmented knowledge and massive, unprocessed information. Too much information is given and there are too many morning and evening activities, which results in today's youth being unable to have time to actually play, think, reflect, synthesize new stimuli, experiment, make mistakes and to develop.

Moreover, specialization in all professions, even in those of teachers, has lead to a common case in Greece where different people provide very focused and autonomous activities in their classes, with no regard to other disciplines. Two examples can demostrate, first, a 9-year-old student of the Greek Whole Day School, who attends a vast range of independent and separate activities every day; then the case of a Second Chance School student, who is being offered a project-based curriculum and a participatory type of teaching.

My point is to suggest that there should be an interdisciplinary approach to today's knowledge, based on projects where arts, sciences, social and environmental issues co-exist. Students shall have access to information, the tools and the knowledge of how to use them in order to handle it, and the chance to reflect critically on the consequences their actions.

簡介

今天的學生活在專業化的社會。希臘的兒童每天做許多獨立而不相關的細分活動，造成他們缺乏足夠時間反思、實驗、犯錯誤、發展。資訊爆炸使學生在接收大量訊息之餘卻沒時間嘴嚼，我認識融合藝術、科學及環境的跨科學習最能幫助他們使用資訊、分析知識、反思後果。
