课堂转型的指针——索耶(R.K.Sawyer)的“创意课堂”

Pointers to Classroom Transformation——“Creative Classroom”by R.K.Sawyer

应试教育崇尚“教育即暗记”的“灌输教学”,满足于“浅层知识”,而学生拥有再多的“浅层知识”也派不上用场。这一教学方式被索耶(R.K.Sawyer)称为“授受主义”教学。在他看来,在知识社会时代沿用这种教学方式是“时代的错误”,替代“灌输教学”势在必行。[1]索耶倡导的“创意课堂”(creative classroom)为创生教学策略、实现课堂转型,提供了理论依据与实践指引,值得关注。

Exam-oriented education advocates“indoctrination teaching”that“education is secret memory”and is satisfied with“superficial knowledge”,but however much students have“superficial knowledge”,it is useless.This teaching method is called“giving-and-receiving”teaching by R.K.Sawyer.In his opinion,it is“anachronistic”to follow this teaching method in the era of knowledge society,and it is imperative to replace“indoctrination teaching”.The“creative classroom”advocated by Sawyer provides theoretical basis and practical guidance for creative teaching strategies and classroom transformation,which is worthy of attention.
