Let the Children Play de Pasi Sahlberg

Let the Children Play

Autor Pasi Sahlberg, William Doyle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2019

Notăm cu interes faptul că, în peisajul actual al literaturii pedagogice, există o lacună critică în ceea ce privește echilibrul dintre rigoarea academică și nevoia biologică de explorare liberă. Volumul Let the Children Play vine să umple acest gol, oferind o argumentație solidă împotriva tendinței globale de a elimina jocul, artele și activitatea fizică din curriculumul școlar în favoarea testării standardizate. Autorii, Pasi Sahlberg și William Doyle, își ancorează analiza în experiența personală de a schimba sistemele de învățământ între SUA și Finlanda, observând direct cum politicile educaționale bazate pe presiune ignoră mecanismul fundamental al învățării umane. Reținem că structura cărții nu se rezumă la o pledoarie teoretică, ci integrează cercetări de ultimă oră și studii de caz din diverse regiuni geografice, de la Singapore la Scoția. Abordarea este una sistemică, demonstrând cum jocul liber acționează ca un motor pentru dezvoltarea abilităților esențiale precum empatia, munca în echipă și rezolvarea problemelor complexe. Cititorii familiarizați cu Play = Learning de Dorothy G. Singer vor aprecia modul în care acest volum duce discuția dincolo de psihologia dezvoltării, către o strategie de politici publice aplicabilă la nivel global. Această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție naturală în opera lui Pasi Sahlberg. Dacă în Finnish Lessons 3.0 autorul se concentra pe succesul structural al modelului finlandez, iar în FinnishED Leadership analiza managementul școlar, Let the Children Play sintetizează aceste teme într-o viziune umanistă despre succesul pe termen lung al copilului. Este un text precis, care transformă datele statistice într-un manifest pentru redobândirea bucuriei de a învăța.

Recomandăm această carte părinților, educatorilor și decidenților care caută o alternativă viabilă la sistemele bazate pe testare excesivă. Veți descoperi dovezi clare că jocul nu este o pauză de la învățare, ci însăși metoda prin care se construiește inteligența și reziliența emoțională. Este o lectură esențială pentru a înțelege cum putem pregăti copiii pentru o lume imprevizibilă, protejându-le în același timp dreptul la o copilărie echilibrată.

Descriere scurtă

Play is how children explore, discover, fail, succeed, socialize, and flourish. It is a fundamental element of the human condition. It's the key to giving schoolchildren skills they need to succeed--skills like creativity, innovation, teamwork, focus, resilience, expressiveness, empathy,
concentration, and executive function. Expert organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Centers for Disease Control agree that play and physical activity are critical foundations of childhood, academics, and future skills--yet politicians are
destroying play in childhood education and replacing it with standardization, stress, and forcible physical restraint, which are damaging to learning and corrosive to society. But this is not the case for hundreds of thousands of lucky children who are enjoying the power of play in schools in China, Texas, Oklahoma, Long Island, Scotland, and in the entire nation of Finland. In Let the Children Play, Pasi Sahlberg, Finnish educator and scholar, and Fulbright Scholar
William Doyle make the case for helping schools and children thrive by unleashing the power of play and giving more physical and intellectual play to all schoolchildren. In the course of writing this book, Sahlberg and Doyle traveled worldwide, reviewed over 700 research studies, and conducted interviews with over 50 of the world's leading authorities on education. Most intriguingly, Let the Children Play provides a glimpse into the play-based experiments ongoing
now all over the world, from rural China, Singapore, and Scotland to North Texas and Oklahoma, as well as the promising results of these bold new approaches. Readers will find the book to be both a call for change and a guide for making that change happen in their own communities.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
According to a professional association of 67,000 pediatricians, “the lifelong success of children is based on their ability to be creative and to apply the lessons learned from playing.” But play-including physical activity, the arts, and even free play-is being eliminated in our society and schools and despite huge financial investment these education policies have not improved learning. In Let the Children Play, the authors, both fathers of school-age children, tell how switching countries -- Pasi Sahlberg brought his Finnish family to the United States, while William Doyle brought his American family to Finland -- shocked them into writing this book. With research breakthroughs and case histories from Finland, China, Singapore, Scotland, New York, Texas, and around the world, the authors reveal how intellectual and physical play is the ultimate engine of transforming education -- the key to giving our children the well-being, happiness, and skills they need to thrive in the 21st century, including curiosity, creativity, teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and empathy.Written for parents, educators, and policymakers, this book reveals a striking vision of an inspiring future of our children's education-and how to make it happen.

Recenzii

Review from previous edition The definitive account of how educational policy-makers, presumably well-intentioned, have gone completely astray, in the United States and elsewhere, along with a vivid and convincing account of how to restore play to its proper place in the lives of children.
Inspirational, well written, and superbly documented, this book is a gift to the next generation. Adding play back into children's hurried and stressed lives might just be the elixir that will help them thrive in a workforce of thinkers, innovators, and collaborators. Thank you Doyle and Sahlberg for giving us a road map so that we can put our educational systems back on course.
Sahlberg and Doyle whack us in the head with the reality that 21st Century skills require old-fashioned learning as children. Play is the analog of life - observing the world, identifying challenges, taking risks, failing, problem-solving again and again, struggling to find consensus with others, absorbing defeats with grace and celebrating victories with exuberance. What builds successful adults is the ability to rise undaunted to opportunities, build relationships, feed curiosity and seize the joy that is at the heart of learning and of living!
Let the Children Play should be in the hands of every single teacher, parent and policy maker who touch the lives of the children they serve. Sahlberg and Doyle clearly articulate and demand that we wake up and finally acknowledge that children have the fundamental right to play in school. This is a compelling vision of the power of play and what we can do to ensure it comes off the 'endangered species' list and back into every school around the world.
Let the Children Play is a passionate, eloquent and substantiated argument for a radical change of priorities in how many parents, educators and policymakers provide for the education, health and well being of children.
We have undervalued the role of play in school to our own detriment as educators, and that of our students. In a culture where standardized testing has crowded out inquisitiveness and play, our students don't get an opportunity to tinker and experiment without high stakes judgments. Without play, teachers don't get to learn from watching their students be unbound by their inner creative selves. When children play, we observe the possibility of their imagination, and retool our structured classroom learning to create activities that model the authentic play and joy of students. It's a missed opportunity to learn from a feedback loop on what comes naturally to children. Play can liberate the power of inquiry in classrooms, that ironically can produce better test scores. Kudos for being so bold with this book!
Play develops our imagination and capacity to collaborate and is what makes us human. Sahlberg and Doyle have written a brilliant and compelling manifesto for bringing play back into the lives of children. Let the revolution begin!
Insightful... An excellent offering for parent activists, education students, and school administrators.
The book convincingly shows the reader that all children deserve to grow physically, emotionally, academically and socially--the benefits of real play nurture the soul as well as the development of the whole child. What's more important than that?
