    "curiosity is both intrinsic to children's development and unfolds through social interactions. Thus, it should be cultivated in schools, even though it is often almost completely absent from classrooms."

creativity mind neuroscience wandering

shared by Chris Harrow on 26 May 12 - No Cached
  • A study now suggests that simply taking a break does not bring on inspiration — rather, creativity is fostered by tasks that allow the mind to wander.
  • From an evolutionary perspective, mind-wandering seems totally counterproductive and has been viewed as dysfunctional because it compromises people’s performance in physical activities. However, Baird’s work shows that allowing the brain to enter this state when it is considering complex problems can have real benefits. Zoning out may have aided humans when survival depended on creative solutions.
  • Chris Harrow on 26 May 12
     
    Some evidence that 100% "time on task" might actually be counterproductive if you want to develop creativity.
  • Ted Sadtler on 27 May 12
     
    Thanks Chris. I'm currently reading Jonah Lehrer's "Imagine: How Creativity Works." lots of tie-ins with this research (Kounios is one of his main sources). I wonder if we can build such mind- wandering into our classes...do physics labs allow for "deliberate zoning out time"? Probably not.

  • Learning to practice, this book vividly illustrates, takes time and effort, trial and error. It won’t happen tomorrow. But even a small movement in the direction of more practice will reap benefits, in teaching and many other things we do.

shared by Chris Harrow on 20 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • The hard part of professional journalism going forward is writing about what hasn't been written about, directing attention where it hasn't been, and saying something new.
  • Chris Harrow on 20 Dec 11
     
    The great challenge for journalists is also the challenge for educators. We do need to look for the new ways to learn and share and reach each of our students. We cannot afford to teach the same old stuff in the same old way and expect that to be sufficient for our new students in this new time. Thanks to Bo A. for the lead to this article.

  • Do we structure school in such a way that we truly promote and achieve that intricate balance between: 1) wanting to know and to understand and 2) keeping perspective that we have to be wrong quite a bit in order to gain deep knowledge and understanding?
