Geoff Mulgan: A short intro to the Studio School

Prevoditelj: Senzos Osijek Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

What I want to talk about today is one idea.

Ono o čemu želim govoriti danas je jedna ideja.

It's an idea for a new kind of school,

To je ideja za novu vrstu škole

which turns on its head much of our conventional thinking

koja okreće naše konvencionalno razmišljanje

about what schools are for and how they work.

o tome što su škole i kako one rade.

And it might just be coming to a neighborhood near you soon.

I to možda uskoro dolazi u vaše susjedstvo.

Where it comes from

Dolazi od

is an organization called the Young Foundation,

organizacije pod nazivom Zaklada mladih,

which, over many decades,

koja je, tijekom mnogih desetljeća,

has come up with many innovations in education, like the Open University

došla do mnogih inovacija u edukaciji, kao što su Pučko otvoreno učilište

and things like Extended Schools,

te stvari kao što je Proširena škola,

Schools for Social Entrepreneurs, Summer Universities

Škole za poduzetnike, Ljetno sveučilište

and the School of Everything.

te Škola za sve.

And about five years ago, we asked

Prije otprilike pet godina, zapitali smo se

what was the most important need for innovation

koja je najvažnija potreba za inovaciju

in schooling here in the U.K.

edukacije ovdje u Velikoj Britaniji

And we felt the most important priority

i osjetili smo da je najvažniji prioritet

was to bring together two sets of problems.

okupiti dva seta problema.

One was large numbers of bored teenagers

Jedan je bio veliki broj tinejdžera kojima je dosadno

who just didn't like school,

i koji baš nisu voljeli školu,

couldn't see any relationship between what they learned in school

nisu mogli vidjeti bilo koji odnos između onoga što su naučili u školi

and future jobs.

i budućih poslova.

And employers who kept complaining

Te poslodavci koji se žale

that the kids coming out of school weren't actually ready for real work,

da djeca koja izlaze iz škole zapravo nisu spremna za pravi posao,

didn't have the right attitudes and experience.

nemaju prave stavove i iskustva.

And so we try to ask:

I tako smo se zapitali:

What kind of school would have the teenagers fighting to get in,

Kakva je to škola u koju bi se tinejdžeri borili da uđu,

not fighting to stay out?

a ne da izađu?

And after hundreds of conversations

I nakon stotina razgovora

with teenagers and teachers and parents

s tinejdžerima i nastavnicima, roditeljima

and employers and schools

te poslodavcima i školama

from Paraguay to Australia,

od Paragvaja do Australije

and looking at some of the academic research,

te gledajući na neka od znanstvenih istraživanja

which showed the importance

koja su pokazala važnost

of what's now called non-cognitive skills --

onoga što se sada zovu ne-kognitivne sposobnosti --

the skills of motivation, resilience --

sposobnosti motivacije, otpornosti --

and that these are as important

te da su one jednako važne

as the cognitive skills -- formal academic skills --

kao i kognitivne sposobnosti -- formalne akademske vještine --

we came up with an answer, a very simple answer in a way,

došli smo do odgovora, vrlo jednostavnog odgovora na neki način,

which we called the Studio School.

koji smo nazvali Studio škola.

And we called it a studio school

I nazvali smo to studio škola

to go back to the original idea of a studio in the Renaissance

za povratak na izvornu ideju u renesansi

where work and learning are integrated.

gdje su rad i učenje integrirani.

You work by learning,

Radite učeći,

and you learn by working.

a učite radeći.

And the design we came up with had the following characteristics.

Dizajn koji smo smislili imao je sljedeće značajke.

First of all, we wanted small schools --

Prije svega, htjeli smo male škole --

about 300, 400 pupils --

oko 300, 400 učenika --

14 to 19 year-olds,

14 do 19-to godišnjake,

and critically, about 80 percent of the curriculum done

i bitno, oko 80 posto nastavnog plana i programa radi se,

not through sitting in classrooms,

ne sjedeći u učionicama

but through real-life, practical projects,

već u stvarnom životu, praktičnim projektima,

working on commission

radeći na proviziju

to businesses, NGO's and others.

poduzeća, nevladine organizacije i druge.

That every pupil would have a coach, as well as teachers,

Da svaki učenik ima trenera, kao i učiteljia,

who would have timetables

koji bi imao radni raspored

much more like a work environment in a business.

kao u uredu.

And all of this will be done within the public system,

I sve to će biti učinjeno u javnom sustavu,

funded by public money,

financirano javnim novcem,

but independently run.

ali vođeno samostalno.

And all at no extra cost, no selection,

I sve bez ikakvih dodatnih troškova, bez selekcije,

and allowing the pupils the route into university,

dopuštajući učenicima put prema sveučilištu,

even if many of them would want to become entrepreneurs

čak i ako bi mnogi od njih željeli postati poduzetnici

and have manual jobs as well.

i imati fizički posao.

Underlying it was some very simple ideas

Temelj su bile neke vrlo jednostavne ideje

that large numbers of teenagers learn best by doing things,

da veliki broj mladih najbolje uči radeći stvari,

they learn best in teams

oni uče najbolje u momčadi

and they learn best by doing things for real --

i oni uče najbolje radeći stvari za stvarno --

all the opposite of what mainstream schooling

sve suprotno od onoga što današnje školovanje

actually does.

zapravo radi.

Now that was a nice idea,

Sada kada je to bila dobra ideja,

so we moved into the rapid prototyping phase.

krenuli smo u brzu fazu prototipa.

We tried it out,

Iskušali smo,

first in Luton --

prvi put u Lutonu --

famous for its airport and not much else, I fear --

poznatom po svojim zračnim lukama i po ničem drugom, bojim se --

and in Blackpool -- famous for its beaches and leisure.

i u Blackpoolu -- poznatom po svojim plažama i odmoru.

And what we found -- and we got quite a lot of things wrong

I ono što smo pronašli -- a napraviil smo dosta stvari krivo

and then improved them --

i onda ih poboljšali --

but we found that the young people loved it.

otkrili smo da se mladim ljudima sviđa.

They found it much more motivational, much more exciting

Smatraju da je mnogo više motivirajuće, puno uzbudljivije

than traditional education.

od tradicionalnog obrazovanja.

And perhaps most important of all,

I možda najvažnije od svega,

two years later when the exam results came through,

dvije godine kasnije, kada je došlo do rezultata ispita,

the pupils who had been put on these field trials

učenici koji su bili u tim pokusima

who were in the lowest performing groups

koji su pripadali najgorim grupama

had jumped right to the top --

su skočili na vrh --

in fact, pretty much at the top decile of performance

u stvari, velik dio na vrhu decil izvedbe

in terms of GCSE's,

u smislu GCSE-a,

which is the British marking system.

što je britanski sustav obilježavanja.

Now not surprisingly,

Sada ne iznenađujuće,

that influenced some people to think we were onto something.

utjecalo je na ljude da pomisle da smo na tragu nečega.

The minister of education

Ministar obrazovanja

down south in London

na jugu u Londonu

described himself as a "big fan."

opisao se kao "veliki fan".

And the business organizations thought we were onto something

I poslovne organizacije su mislile da smo na na tragu nečega

in terms of a way of preparing children much better

u smislu načina pripreme djece

for real-life work today.

za stvarni život i posao.

And indeed, the head of the Chambers of Commerce

I doista, šef Gospodarske komore

is now the chairman of the Studio Schools Trust

je sada predsjednik Zaklade Studio škole

and helping it, not just with big businesses,

i pomaže joj, ne samo s velikim poduzećima,

but small businesses all over the country.

već i s malim kompanijama diljem zemlje.

We started with two schools.

Počeli smo s dvije škole.

That's grown this year to about 10.

Ove godine je naraslo na oko 10.

And next year, we're expecting about 35 schools

A iduće godine, očekujemo otvorenja oko 35 škola

open across England,

diljem Engleske,

and another 40 areas

a 40 područja

want to have their own schools opening --

žele otvoriti svoje škole --

a pretty rapid spread

prilično brzo širenje

of this idea.

ove ideje.

Interestingly,

Zanimljivo,

it's happened almost entirely without media coverage.

to se dogodilo gotovo u potpunosti bez medija.

It's happened almost entirely without big money behind it.

To se dogodilo gotovo u potpunosti bez velikog novca.

It spread almost entirely through word of mouth, virally,

To se proširilo gotovo u cijelosti usmenom predajom, veoma brzo,

across teachers, parents,

preko učitelja, roditelja,

people involved in education.

ljudi koji su uključeni u obrazovanje.

And it spread because of the power of an idea --

I to zbog širenja moći ideje --

so the very, very simple idea

tako vrlo, vrlo jednostavna ideja

about turning education on its head

o okretanju edukacije naglavačke

and putting the things which were marginal,

i stavljanjem stvari koje su bile marginalne,

things like working in teams, doing practical projects,

stvari kao što su rad u timovima, rad na praktičnim projektima

and putting them right at the heart of learning,

stavljajući ih ravno u srce učenja,

rather than on the edges.

a ne na rubove.

Now there's a whole set of new schools

Sada postoji cijeli niz novih škola

opening up this autumn.

koje se otvaraju ove jeseni.

This is one from Yorkshire

Ovo je jedna iz Yorkshire,

where, in fact, my nephew, I hope, will be able to attend it.

gdje će, u stvari, moj nećak, nadam se, biti u mogućnosti pohađati ju.

And this one is focused

Ova je usmjerena

on creative and media industries.

prema kreativnosti i medijskoj industriji.

Other ones have a focus on health care,

Ostale imaju fokus na zdravstvenu skrb,

tourism, engineering

turizam, inženjering

and other fields.

i druga područja.

We think we're onto something.

Mislimo da smo naišli na nešto.

It's not perfect yet,

To još nije savršeno,

but we think this is one idea

no mislimo da je to jedna ideja

which can transform the lives

koja može preobraziti živote

of thousands, possibly millions, of teenagers

tisuća, možda milijuna tinejdžera

who are really bored by schooling.

kojima je školovanje stvarno dosadno.

It doesn't animate them.

Ne animira ih.

They're not like all of you who can sit in rows

Oni nisu kao vi koji možete sjediti u redovima

and hear things said to you for hour after hour.

i slušati stvari koje im netko sat za satom govori.

They want to do things, they want to get their hands dirty,

Oni žele raditi, žele zaprljati ruke,

they want education to be for real.

žele stvarno obrazovanje.

And my hope is that some of you out there

Moja nada je da su neki od vas

may be able to help us.

u mogućnosti da nam pomognu.

We feel we're on the beginning of a journey

Mi osjećamo da smo na početku putovanja

of experiment and improvement

eksperimenta i poboljšanja

to turn the Studio School idea

kako bismo uključili ideju o Studio školi

into something which is present,

kao o nečemu što je prisutno,

not as a universal answer for every child,

ne kao univerzalni odgovor za svako dijete,

but at least as an answer for some children in every part of the world.

ali barem kao odgovor za neku djecu u svakom dijelu svijeta.

And I hope that a few of you at least can help us make that happen.

I nadam se da nam neki od vas mogu pomoći da se to i ostvari.

Thank you very much.

Puno hvala.

(Applause)
