右脑革命与创造教育——对当代教育改革发展趋势的认识

Right-brain Revolution and Creative Education: Understanding Tendency of Contemporary Educational Reform

脑科学的重大突破,带来了一场人类思维方式的新的革命———右脑革命;它有力地冲击着当今社会的许多领域,首当其冲的就是教育。传统教育模式忽视甚至扼杀了创造潜能的开发,因此,教育改革的浪潮正在整个世界范围内掀起;开展以开发创造潜能、培养创新精神和实践能力为使命的创造教育无疑是当代教育改革的"突破口"。

An important breakthrough in brain science heralds a new revolution in the thinking mode of human beings, that is, the right-brain revolution, which is having a strong impact on many areas of the present society, and especially on education. Traditional education modes ignore or even stifle the student's development of creative potentialities; as a result, educational reforms are becoming a common practice across the world. The creative education, which aims at developing creative potentialities and cultivating creative spirit and practice competence, is undoubtedly a breakthrough of the current educational reforms.
