The educational reality in which we live shows the need for a transformation in the teaching and learning process. As Robinson points out, what must be done to achieve improvements in our education is to move from an educational model based on linearity and conformity to an agricultural model based on human flourishing where students can develop solutions. Now, as teachers, we can ask ourselves how to achieve this transformation because our systems are usually cloned; we can find this answer based on the videos presented by Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution and Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates, us as both shows a comprehensive approach to put our grain of rice into the transformation of education.
First, by integrating the critical driver of intrinsic motivation and creativity, recognizing diverse talents, and fostering a passion for learning, educators can create more meaningful, stimulating, and relevant learning experiences for all students. This will involve giving students greater control over their educational process, allowing them to be self-directed by choosing projects and methods that awaken their creativity and passion for learning. This could manifest in classrooms where students' experimentation, exploration, and decision-making are encouraged rather than following a rigid and pre-established curriculum.
Finally, both videos significantly influence my learning philosophy as they expand my understanding of what it means to educate and learn. As a pre-kindergarten teacher, they inspire me to adopt a more student-centered, motivating, creative, and adapted approach to individual needs and interests. I can prepare my students to succeed in an ever-changing world and empower them to become lifelong learners committed to their growth and development.
