The prevailing school system of education is criticized systematically. One of the specialists in the field of education and creativity is Ken Robinson. He offers his project to update and modernize existing teaching methods.
Starting conditions
The problem of the development and improvement of human capital arose at the beginning of the last century. In that chronological period when complex machines and mechanisms began to appear in everyday reality. Ken Robinson is an internationally recognized creativity expert. His ideas are confirmed in many countries. Books in which he shares his thoughts and experiences diverge in large print runs across the globe. His interests are outlined in studies of education, creative thinking and innovation.
The future doctor of philosophy was born on March 4, 1950 in a large family. Ken was one of seven children who grew up in a house surrounded by love and care. Parents at that time lived in the famous city of Liverpool. My father worked at a shipbuilding enterprise. Mother was engaged in housework. The head of the family wanted the child to become a professional footballer. However, at 4 years old, the boy fell ill with polio. I had to give up the dream of football. At school, Robinson studied well. He graduated from the University of Leeds, where he studied cultural studies and pedagogy.
Professional activity
After graduation, Robinson remained within the walls of his native university. He lectured to students and studied human creativity abilities. Twelve years later, the scientist was invited to the post of director of the School of Art Projects, which operated in London. By this time, Robinson had already formulated the basic requirements that must be observed that talent in a person "woke up." The owners of large corporations began to turn to the professor in the hope of obtaining a prescription to identify the creative abilities of staff.
Over time, Ken perfectly mastered oratory. He regularly and convincingly spoke at international events on the problems of creativity and the development of the human person. One of the books that came out of his pen “Recognition: How to Find What You Are Created for, ” has been translated into 20 languages, including Russian. Robinson led the National Commission on Education and Creativity, which operated under the UK government. He was invited as an adviser to advise managers and government officials in Singapore.
