VITTRA SCHOOLS

International schools in Sweden

VITTRA SCHOOLS

Dicen en los centros docentes suecos Vittra que sus escuelas no son colegios al uso. Son puntos de encuentro de escolares y preescolares. Allí no existen clases ni aulas. Cualquier lugar puede ser un buen sitio para aprender.
Los estudiantes de estas escuelas suecas no se organizan por los mismos principios del sistema educativo convencional. Tampoco creen en las clases de toda la vida, las lecciones, las asignaturas…
Ni en las paredes, ni en las pizarras con tizas, ni en los pupitres. En cambio creen en la tecnología (y en los portátiles; cada alumno cuenta con uno), en la educación bilingüe (sueco-inglés), en el aprendizaje basado en la experiencia y en un sistema educativo capaz de recrear entornos de aprendizajes basados en la vida real.
Por eso para Telefonplan, su nueva escuela en Estocolmo, Vittra recurrió a Rosan Bosch. A este estudio de interiorismo le encomendó que el diseño del nuevo colegio se convirtiera en una herramienta pedagógica más.
Entre las propuestas que Rosan Bosch hizo a Vittra destaca un enorme iceberg que hace las veces de pantalla de cine. O los árboles repartidos por distintos lugares de la escuela y que sirven de puntos de encuentro ‘naturales’. O The Village, una zona con multitud de pequeñas casetas al descubierto ideales para las reuniones de pequeños grupos.

Las escuelas Vittra, en Suecia, revolucionan el concepto de clase y colegio

Por Adolfo Torrecilla
La metodología de enseñanza Vittra le promete a cada alumno lo siguiente:
  • Encontrar el mejor enfoque para cada uno de ellos (máxima individualización).
  • Aprender en base a la experiencia.
  • Entender su propio aprendizaje.
  • Confiar en si mismo y sus habilidades.
  • Desarrollar la habilidad de comunicarse y relacionarse con otras personas.
  • Estudiar en un ambiente internacional, completamente bilingüe y con posibilidad de realizar intercambios en el extranjero.
Al sistema escolar sueco lo administra el Estado; sin embargo, existen
algunas escuelas “libres” o “privadas”, como las llamadas Vittra. Lo común
en estas escuelas “privadas” es que son administradas con libertad por
los particulares, hasta con fines de lucro, pero ninguna de ellas cobra a los
padres por los servicios educativos ya que el Estado se encarga de subsidiarlas (...)

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

Ken Robinson: Author/educator
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.
Why you should listen to him:
Why don't we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it's because we've been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with restless minds and bodies -- far from being cultivated for their energy and curiosity -- are ignored or even stigmatized, with terrible consequences. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. It's a message with deep resonance. Robinson's TEDTalk has been distributed widely around the Web since its release in June 2006. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? "Everyone should watch this."

A visionary cultural leader, Sir Ken led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative and cultural education, a massive inquiry into the significance of creativity in the educational system and the economy, and was knighted in 2003 for his achievements. His latest book,
The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, a deep look at human creativity and education, was published in January 2009.
"Ken's vision and expertise is sought by public and commercial organizations throughout the world."
