Dans cette intervention très tonique voir notamment l'opposition entre l'école organisée sur le modèle de l'usine fordiste

L'école, une autre usine ? -  source : Sir Ken Robinson  - TED 2010

et l'évocation du divergent thinking, an essential capacity for creativity (7 mn 44).

Divergent thinking - source : Sir Ken Robinson  - TED 2010
L'éducation comme un dressage au conformisme
ou une formation intellectuelle à l'exploration d'idées non conventionnelles ?

« Don’t look !
Don’t copy
That ‘s cheating !
Outside school ? That’s called collaboration ... »

Ken Robinson propose une lecture du recul de la capacité d'attention (ADHD) aux USA,
un recul qui ne se soigne pas par les médicaments et la chimie ...

Voir également l'opposition faite entre l'apprentissage en groupe et l'individualisation forcée.

« Most great learning happens in groups »
« Collaboration is the stuff of Growth »
« if we atomize people and judge them separately,
we create a sort of disjonction between them and their natural learning environment »

« TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds : Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TED Global conference in Edinburgh UK each summer ».

C'est là qu'Hans Rosling a fait connaître le très excellent Gapminder et la présentation dynamique des données statistiques.
