Revive Renaissance Education
Renaissance education is typified by the integration of diverse knowledge with action.
Modern education is a bureaucracy perfect for creating industrial age conformists. We will limit our discussion of modern education to this paragraph, we will then try to concentrate on more positive matters. Modern education creates human parts for a social machine. The educational machine's artificial division of subjects produces specialist cogs. These machine part graduates function well only in their appropriate role. Stratified and oppressive rules define all actions in a centrally planned, one size fits all, structure.
Physical Therapy EducationHow many times do you find you are having to create worksheets, or resources and then they just remain on your own computer, or in a resource ..... Renaissance education mixed all of the disciplines into a total life experience. The history of sculpture is accompanied by art creation and the study of anatomy which leads to psychology, and back to art. The student defines their educational needs by their desire to answer questions. The student then follows these answers with new questions on a now higher level. Learning is an all day, all life endeavor; the joy of discovery and the satisfaction of self growth impel further research. Success is thus defined by the student in relationship to their goals.
Why should we return to healthy education' The first step is to consider where we are, in time and in process. We are at the end of the industrial age, the huge bureaucratic structures that developed in the past were based on the economy of size dwarfing the needs of the individual. Success was defined as being part of the system, supporting it as it supported you. As the information age grows the size of effective systems decreases. There is less need for formally trained human cogs, just as we are creating far more of them.
How do we create the innovators that will lead us to greater success' We don't. Innovators create themselves. All we can do is provide the tools that allow them to grow, and remove the many bureaucratic hurdles that block their path. Small business now creates the majority of new jobs, as big businesses cut their work force. Innovators and entrepreneurs will create the fast ideas that force the growth of the network society. In a Schumpeterian wave the new entrepreneurial structures will create a better life style for all even as the old bureaucracies crumble. The Internet provides ready access to innovator's tools; knowledge, new ideas, and many classic ideas that at this turning point of society are of even greater value.
