Bøger af Ken Robinson

Ken Robinson argues that organisations everywhere are trying to fix a problem that originates in schools and universities: "It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to.

KREATIVITET OG LÆRING er en oversættelse af den britiske lærings- og kreativitetsforsker Ken Robinsons bestseller Out Of Our Minds fra 2011. Robinson er internationalt anerkendt for sit arbejde, og hans veloplagte, provokerende og tankevækkende foredrag på TED’s konferencer i 2006 og 2010 er blevet set af flere hundrede millioner mennesker verden over. Robinsons bud på, hvordan kreativitet og læring hænger sammen, kan inspirere undervisere på alle niveauer i uddannelsessystemet. Hans grundlæggende pointe er, at det er muligt at skabe undervisning og uddannelse, der giver folk lyst til at lære, gør dem klogere, mere innovative og gladere på samme tid. I 2003 blev han adlet af den britiske dronning for sin indsats, og i 2011 var han i Danmark for at modtage LEGO Prisen.

The headlines read, "The Last Good Deed Cost Daniel A. Walker Jr. His Life" and "Murder Victim Was Always Doing Favors." The unresolved twist-of-fate story regarding the October 1, 1974, murder of Danny Walker has haunted his family and friends for nearly fifty years. What happened to the free-spirited, easygoing twenty-one-year-old as he crossed the Mojave Desert that fateful night?Just hours before he was killed, Dan stopped near Cajon Pass to pick up a hitchhiker whose destination was Texas. Dan may have changed his route out of California to accommodate the young traveler. Shielded by Dan's gear in the back of the van, the eighteen-year-old hitchhiker was an ear-and-eye witness to Dan's final moments.Only those closest to Dan knew the basic facts of his murder, which remains a cold case. Those further removed from available information were left to wonder, often forming their own interpretations based on hearsay.Why was Dan in California? Did he know his killers? What did the police do to catch the two assailants? What did they believe was their motive? The identities of Dan's killers may remain a mystery, but what is known lies within.

This is a gripping story of alternate realities and one man's descent into madness as he tries to escape the physical embodiments of the demons of his past whilst they keep him in a prison constructed of his own fractured psyche. Full of twists, frightening revelations, and profound but maddening insights into a world that may or may not even be real (Shutter Island meets Silent Hill meets Stephen King's survivor type). Psychological horror on a new level.When all you have is your sanity, do everything to keep it...

Una llamada a la acción de Sir Ken Robinson en la que anima a los lectores a reimaginar el mundo y a mejorarlo. Ken Robinson cambió la vida de millones de personas; sus famosas charlas TED han recibido millones de visitas y sus libros se han traducido a veinticuatro idiomas. Dedicó los últimos años de su vida a escribir lo que sería su manifiesto, en el que integra las claves de su revolución de la educación. Cuando en agosto de 2020 le diagnosticaron un cáncer terminal, pidió a su hija Kate que concluyera ese manifiesto y continuara la labor que él había comenzado. Este libro es, en esencia, un homenaje al potencial de los seres humanos y una llamada a renovar los sistemas educativos y a revolucionar la forma de gestionar la sociedad. Para Sir Ken, lo que realmente nos diferencia del resto de los seres vivos es la imaginación: la capacidad para crear en la mente cosas que no existen, para proyectar un mundo diferente al que habitamos y, en definitiva, para volver a crearlo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A call to action that pulls together all of Sir Ken Robinson's key messages and philosophies, and that challenges and empowers readers to re-imagine our world, and our systems, for the better. Sir Ken Robinson changed the lives of millions of people. The embodiment of the prestigious TED conference, his TED Talks are watched an average of 17,000 times a day --a figure that Chris Anderson, Head of TED, says is the equivalent of selling out the Millennium Dome every night for fifteen consecutive years. A New York Times bestselling author, Sir Ken's books have been translated into twenty-four languages. In his final years, Sir Ken was working on a book that would serve as his manifesto. This book was being written for both new and dedicated audiences alike as a coherent overview of the arguments that he dedicated his life to, and as a pivotal piece of literature for the education revolution he began. When Sir Ken received his cancer prognosis in August 2020 he asked his daughter and collaborator, Kate Robinson, to finish writing this manifesto and continue his work. At its core, Sir Ken's work is a love letter to human potential --a celebration of what we as a species are capable of doing, and of being, if we create the right conditions. It is a rallying cry to revolutionize our systems of education, and the ways in which we run our businesses and structure our social systems, so that they bring out the best in each and every person. Sir Ken often observed that what separates us from the rest of life on Earth is our power of imagination: the ability to bring to mind things that are not present to our senses. It is imagination that allows us to create the world in which we live, rather than just exist in it. It also gives us the power to recreate it.

Der er i stigende grad fokus på skoleparathed, bogstav- og tal­aktiviteter i børnehaven, og der synes at være sket en læring­gørelse af børnehaven som rum for leg og kreativitet. I ‘Kreativ tænkning – ’Lifelong Kindergarten’’ som tilgang i skole og uddannelse argumenterer Mitchel Resnick for den stik modsatte vending: Vi skal lære af børnehaven og lade dens karakteristiske tilgang til leg og eksperimenter indtage skolen og resten af uddannelsessystemet. Evnen til at tænke og handle kreativt er vigtigere end nogen­sinde. Børn og unge vil hele livet komme til at stå i nye og uventede situationer, og de skal lære at håndtere usikkerhed og forandring på en kreativ måde. Den bedste måde at gøre dette på er ved at arbejde med evnen til at forestille sig, skabe, lege, dele og reflektere – præcis som i børnehaven. Mitchel Resnick har mere end 30 års erfaring fra MIT's Media Lab at trække på, når han giver sit bud på den kreative tænknings hvorfor og hvordan. I bogen diskuterer han nye teknologier og aktiviteters bidrag til udvikling af børn og unges kreative tænkning. Den er fuld af konkrete eksempler på børn, der programmerer egne spil, historier og opfindelser, og som indgår i store online arbejdsfælleskaber. Ved at give børn og unge mulighed for at arbejde på projekter i fællesskab med jævnaldrende og med en legende, eksperimenterende tilgang, kan vi hjælpe dem med at udvikle sig som kreative tænkere.
