takesako âThis is great for an elementary school student, but there are many kids at this level in technical colleges. They have formal knowledge from the Internet, but their understanding of basic scientific concepts is shallow. They do not listen well to the advice of those around them and give up quickly when they fail in their experiments. This is tough,â said a frustrated student of gifted education who gathered a group of outstanding children.
ockeghem From the standpoint that I usually say âIf you aspire to security, do your schoolwork first,â I conclude thatâs true, but I continued I would like to support the efforts / âFailure in gifted education that attracted outstanding children âItâs not just about IQâ: lessons from the schoolïŒAsahi Shimbun Digitalâ
tabbata Setback for gifted education that attracted outstanding children âItâs not just IQ,â schoolâs lesson: âIt was pointed out to me, âThatâs great for an elementary school student, but there are kids at this level in technical colleges. There are many. They have formal knowledge from the Internet, but their understanding of basic scientific concepts is shallow. They donât listen to the advice of those around them and give up too quickly when they fail in their experiments. It was, âThis is not going to be easy.ââ
âThat being said, when I looked closely at them, I found that they had high IQs and were skilled orators, so they were speaking amazing things that would impress adults, but I sometimes felt that they were just memorizing material and did not understand the essential parts. I also saw an aspect where the children felt special in a bad way because they were selected based on their IQ.â
okisayaka While I think that there will certainly be difficulties and that there is a need for the cultivation and cultivation of the non-cognitive aspects, the article made me a little concerned that the Japanese universities and companies that came to visit may be asking for too much humility and cooperation. okisayaka Talking with PIs in experimental science laboratories, I think that nowadays a very high level of management ability is required as more team research is being conducted and research is becoming more expensive. I think that the PIâs in the laboratory of experimental science are required to have a very high management ability nowadays. However, on the other hand, the field of âindividual play and risk-takingâ has not disappeared. However, it is a field that is easily left behind due to the recent university reforms. okisayaka And gifted is not just science. okisayaka Even in the days before IQ tests, there were people like François Quenet, a peasant child whose intelligence was discovered by a church priest. He had more than 10 siblings, didnât read or write until he was 11, but was good at learning the flowers and plants in his garden. And as I recall, Kant was the son of a craftsman, and I think he was sent to college in a similar way.
mihyonsong I went to a public elementary school in Kobe where there were many students who went to Nada Junior High School, but they all attended classes, participated in events, went to Tokyo University and medical school, and are still active in society. I donât think having a high IQ is a reason for not fitting in at school. mihyonsong I think itâs good to educate them in an environment that suits each individual regardless of IQ, but an IQ of 130+ is not at all rare in terms of frequency, I think itâs better for the kids if you donât raise them up in their childhood. saeko1234567 if it might be the same elementary school as your teacher? Iâm not sure. I think it might be the same elementary school as the teacher. I think itâs because itâs an upscale residential area and near a hospital of Godai University, so all the parents who live there are either excellent or doctors, and there is a high concentration of excellent children. mihyonsong It was Motoyama 2nd Elementary School in Kobe! Kobe Jogakuin was there a lot every year too!
shikakugangu âWe need a foundation to develop our strengths. (omitted) This child is now working hard, not to conquer her weak Japanese, but to further develop her strong point, pictures, by looking up words and other studies.â I nodded my head so much I thought I was going to lose my neck.
coccodesho Important perspective. I think itâs important to note that âthere is no skipping a grade in the development of a childâs ability to successfully lead a life in society. Basic academic skills, cooperation, and the ability to get things done are still essential for growth.â
impressions
- Maybe itâs too early to judge in 3 years, it will be 20 years before we know if this education is a success or not.
- Comparing the loss in the lives of the children who have been told here that they were failures, to the benefit to society from the publication of this article, isnât the benefit too little? What makes you happy? - An ordinary man killing a genius Then?
- Parents expect their children to have a 100% chance of success, but my skinny is that these things are like â30% reach the line that about 3% of the average person reaches! Ten times the odds, wow!â Itâs strange to expect a high success rate because itâs like that.
- I think there are a lot of kids who feel that they give up too soon when things donât go well, but thereâs nothing wrong with running around with your interests until youâre 30 or so, is there?
- I wonder if learning about multiple disciplines in this way will lead to unforeseen connections and innovation after the fact.
- Connecting the Dots
-
Japanese universities and companies that have come to visit may be asking too much of humility and cooperation.
- In the meantime, letâs take these kids to an academic conference in the U.S. or something.
-
There is no skipping a grade in the development of successfully living in society.
- This âsocietyâ is not one.
- Even if you canât make a good living in âJapanese societyâ
-
They have formal knowledge from the internet, but their understanding of basic scientific concepts is limited.
- Most of the public doesnât even know enough to look it up on the Internet, though.
- Well, thatâs why even kids who can do just that are misidentified as âgeniusesâ by the dumb adults around them.
