Reimagining Education as if to Learn Means to CREATE Knowledge

Learning is the process embedded in life to sustain life. It is necessary to revisit the present education as unsustainability has become the default way of existence and sustainability an afterthought. This is the result of the disconnect from life that we experience in the way education is conducted. Even though human beings are equipped to create knowledge of the real world autonomously we are being educated to analyze second-hand information. It is only by understanding this biological process that enables us to relate to the world, that education as a relation can be reestablished. The video presentation is about unique research spanning over 30 years to understand how children create knowledge of the real world and in that process, the cognitive foundation gets built that enables creativity and ensures sustainability and the damages that modern education inflicts on people. https://reimaginingschools.wordpress.com/

Jinan KB, e k foundation, India. I consider myself a victim of modern education - in school I learned the WORD instead of the WORLD and trained to fit into the unnatural and antilife 'culture' of modernity. From 1991 learning from children and illiterate indigenous communities how to regain my real connection with nature and life. This has led me to understand the biological nature of cognition and aesthetics and what is wrong with modern education. jinankb@gmail.com
