- Activist & Education Director Pasi Sahlberg brings what he has learned from the education system in his native Finland to United States' parents, teachers and policy makers.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
Best talk I've ever heard about education, and I've been a teacher for 17 years, and I've heard quite a lot....
Add this TEDTalk to Michael Moore"s short documentary about Finish Education and you'll start to see why Finland ranks #1 in Education by various rating agencies.
This video created is 11 years ago. Now I seen it. It's wanted thing around the globe. Thankyou lot mr pasi shelberg
This matches with what management sciences say. Help people learn to understand their strengths and weaknesses, help them to mitigate the risks of their weaknesses and to develop their strengths which make them valuable on the job market. I don't see how that can happen when the educational system is effectively industrialized through standardization to make everyone merely capable of passing specific tests. If the standards and demands are high enough then you can guarantee some quality but it leaves all of the non-standard talents of the diverse pool of potential mostly untapped. Finland is not a very big country in terms of population so Finland can't really afford to throw any talent away.
So very interest to know more about Accountability and Responsibility .
I just had a three-week trip to Helsinki, Finland. Many people said Finnish people do not talk much like Dr. Pasi Sahlberh states here. Interestingly, I spoke to quite a few Finnish people there. My goodness, they were very talkative. So, Finnish people can😊 be very talkative when they feel comfortable talking with you.
Than you for your idea and may just have to do that , david nz..
6:03 teachers in Finland need a master's degree and teacher training programs are the most selective schools in the country. In the US, you can be in six month programs and become a teacher with no experience 🙄 this is a simple difference that matters greatly.
Something I also like that Finland's education system does is offer individualized grading and student counseling (as well as offering free psychological counseling, education and healthcare). Less homework and creative play, or at least prioritizing creativity, is also fantastic.
But, for the US to achieve the same level of success as Finland's education system, they need not become a socialist country. In fact, they should become more of a free market by pulling back restrictions and laws on businesses, establishing a competitive environment in the private sector, and securing economic freedom for people to pursue their separate interests. There's nothing wrong with having free healthcare and free education, but taxes will be enormously high (as the Prime Minister of Denmark has pointed out). And to "pay" for free healthcare and education in taxes, you need to have a strong private sector. This is why, contrary to popular belief, places like Finland and Denmark are not socialistic countries; they're market economies with a strong safety net. Best of both worlds you can say.
I think that teachers in Finland a given a living wage. From what my American friends tell me, teaching in the United States is an act of charity.
@@freddyfriesen so true. It's not that difficult to be a teacher here either. That might contribute to pay and quality
Would it also be true to say that you could become a teacher in the US if you know someone at the local school ? No experience needed, just friends with the school board ? No accounability ? Just like becoming a cop in the US ?
Fantastic!
I went to our local library system to get the book but guess what ? Very , very sad , david nz
Hello, i'm teacher from Indonesia and very interested about this presentation. I think Indonesian people must see this in their language. May i help to give translate to Indonesian language?
What a Fantastic idea! Go ahead and translate it. It would bring much good to both students and teachers.
Include a link to this video in your video description for proper credit to the original video. That way you dont violate You Tube copyright laws.
Please let me know once you do it, if you can. Thanks
wow 16:35-16:40 as well amazing
Why are your books in the garage?
Dammit, I fell for the 5000!!! Welp I'm sad.
wow..15:03-15:15....wow yes!
Responsibility > Accountability!
5000!!! wait 4,100 wow. ...
i like his presentation about the germs that might hit the education, now i am in finland as refugee and we started to see violence in street against refugees!!, does it the result of that GERM, or related with quick learning from the others?
And they have "downproved" Finnish schools heavily since then. Too sad.
Sorry, That was a quote from u.s. pres. Obama. It w as s w/ regard to increasing our students knowledge levels. The discussion acknowledged possibility our future success in this area by implementing and enhancing U.S.teaching methods from ideas which are successful currently in the top world schools.
2019
we have taken teachers seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
marqann I'm not so sure
Let's become competitive with the top world schools. We are spending $3,000 more a yr. per kid than the world's top school system. We can do it.
Not sure if your choice of words is best. "Competitive" ;)
They WILL be competing in the world job mrkt
........But is it ability to compete or the ability cooperate as part of a successful team that the most innovative employers are looking for.
Who would you want on your team, the person that wants to do better than you or the person that's wants both of you to create something special together by sharing creative ideas?
Yes, Andrew so good. You hv very very strong point! consider a more controlled environment minus the much publicized U.S. kids' bullying/ harassment ...thru our newly fostered and developing teacher autonomy here not unlike that in Finland blending kids together.
CJ LeBlanc Highly educated autonomous early years education work force is where we would like to reach in the not too distant future. However, I feel a marketing campaign aimed at the general public (THE VOTERS) promoting the importance of child led QUALITY education thus evoking thought and making people question politicians about what they plan to do for the sector is necessary. Government listen to voters and nothing can be implemented without government backing and much needed funding to support many areas such as non-contact time for staff to plan, write observations, personal development, continuous training etc. etc. and critically reflect on how to improve practice through personal, team and sector development. So we can provide better services for children and families.
Sorry my reply above is a bit rushed and messy, its late and more work to do tomorrow. :D
Do Americans really say 1000 as 'thousand'?
Like most others, you confuse standardized tests with standardized persons. If the entire zoo is in a common class, then they need to take a common test, period. Just because some will fail at a specific class, does not mean they are less of an animal. It just means that a fish can't climb a tree, or a teacher can't teach an old dog new tricks. It does not mean you are not who you are. You're just in the wrong class. You sound like the sloth who's looking for any class that's easy to graduate by birth-right without learning anything. You don't need school for that.
I would like to disagree with you. I was told that my daughter is "biologically not ready to get multiplication tables and word problems". I ask school for a "Friday-off" for her and taught her. By the end of the year she was "on-line" with kids who are "biologically ready for math". Since that time she become independent learner of math, and now 3 years later she is at the "top of her class" in math. I just wanted to say that every child deserves an individualized education. And that will help them to feel more confident in their abilities that eventually will lead to the "discovery" of their talent
@@FA-kt3is "biologically not ready to get multiplication tables and word problems"? There's your problem. That's like saying, "Mathematically not ready to get exercise.". I wouldn't have believed them either. That doesn't invalidate my argument.
I expected more from him. He speaks boring, said almost nothing helpful
