L’article “But what could you learn instead?”, rédigé par Seth Godin a été le sujet de discussion de la deuxième séance de débat de nos participants. Dans cet article, Godin y exprime son point de vue sur l’éducation qui n’a pas été selon lui basée sur un système qui encourage à l’apprentissage mais plutôt à la consommation. Nos participants ont été invités à débattre sur le sujet et à rédiger un texte résumant la discussion et exprimant leur point de vue.
Voici le texte de Rachida :
“Seth Godin, in his article shows the difference between learning and studying. The first one is more effective than the other in terms of creativity and productivity.
Learning a skill needs an effort, a commitment, and productivity. In learning there might not be a certificate submitted but instead there is a skill that is learned, while in studying a certificate is given but nothing is learned.
I admit that during my schooling I was a spectator most of the time. I was just consuming as much as I can. I never took any initiatives. I never contributing in any extracurricular activities. as a result I have gathered great amount of information and certificates, but I mostly acquired no skills.
I agree that I found it hard to deal with Connect Institute activities at first because this institution is about learning not studying.
I appreciate that today I’m at least trying to learn something by myself, this gives me so much self-satisfaction and pushes me to go forward and change something in my life. As Godin said « The good news is that each of us, without permission from anyone else, can change that ».”
