Sugata Mitra: The child-driven education

Summary:
Sugata Mitra gives us a great show which is The Children Education. In the very beginning, he said good teachers will not go some places which are the countries really need help, so he did lots of experiments about education in these developing countries. His experiments show that children do fast and good work when they do what they are interested in. Also, children can learn by themselves although they use different languages. Moreover, he finds that when children study together, the results are better, and children can remember what they do better. He did lots of experiments on children education, so he found that a self-organizing system. This means that the system appears without interruption, and this system shows emergency which is the system starts to do things which is was never designed for. At the end, he gives us his future guess which is that education is a self-organizing system, where learning is an emergent phenomenon.

Response:
Every time when I am watching these talks, I feel so great. I cannot even explain my feeling by words. Like there are something fills up my heart. I think I can do what I want, and I should try my best. Even thought this world is reality, we still have to follow our hearts, so we do what we want to do. I think this responsible for us. Nothing can stop us except ourselves. I find I like to do something like this presenter is doing. He does many experiments with group of people, and then he finds problems from it. Finally, he solves the problems and tells everybody his ideas. This is what I want to do. People should not regret when they are old. Everybody should try when they have chance. Truly satisfied comes from great work, and great work comes from what you love to do. Universities should be the place to make good thinker not good worker or good learner.
