Disa fëmijë mësojnë duke dëgjuar; të tjerë duke bërë gjëra konkrete. Geoff Mulgan na bën një prezantim te shkurtër të llojit të shkollës së quajtur Shkollë Studio, një forme e re shkolle e aplikuar në Angli, në të cilën grupe të vogla nxënësish mësojnë duke punuar në projekte, që siç i quan Mulgan janë “prej vërteti”.

What I want to talk about today is one idea.
0
0
3000
Une sot dua t'ju flas per nje ide qe kemi.
00:18
It's an idea for a new kind of school,
1
3000
2000
Idene e nje lloji te ri shkolle,
00:20
which turns on its head much of our conventional thinking
2
5000
3000
qe ndryshon pak nga menyra tradicionale se si e mendojme shkollen
00:23
about what schools are for and how they work.
3
8000
2000
per ate ç'ka sherben shkolla dhe se si funksionon ajo.
00:25
And it might just be coming to a neighborhood near you soon.
4
10000
3000
Dhe kjo ide shkolle mund te aplikohet dhe ne lagjen tuaj shume shpejt.
00:28
Where it comes from
5
13000
2000
Kjo ide vjen nga
00:30
is an organization called the Young Foundation,
6
15000
2000
nje organizate e quajtur Fondacioni Rinor,
00:32
which, over many decades,
7
17000
2000
e cila per shume dekada,
00:34
has come up with many innovations in education, like the Open University
8
19000
3000
ka sjelle inovacion ne sistemin e edukimit, si psh. Universiteti i Hapur
00:37
and things like Extended Schools,
9
22000
2000
dhe ide si ajo e Shkollave te Perzgjatura,
00:39
Schools for Social Entrepreneurs, Summer Universities
10
24000
3000
Shkollat per Ndermarres Social, Universitetet Verore
00:42
and the School of Everything.
11
27000
2000
dhe Shkollen per Gjithçka.
00:44
And about five years ago, we asked
12
29000
2000
Rreth 5 vjet me pare, filluam te mendonim
00:46
what was the most important need for innovation
13
31000
2000
se cila ishte nevoja e vertete per te perteritur
00:48
in schooling here in the U.K.
14
33000
3000
sistemin shkollor ne Angli.
00:51
And we felt the most important priority
15
36000
2000
Dhe patem ndjesine se perparesia me e rendesishme
00:53
was to bring together two sets of problems.
16
38000
2000
ishte te bashkonim dy lloje problematikash kryesore.
00:55
One was large numbers of bored teenagers
17
40000
2000
E para ne lidhje me adoleshentet e merzitur
00:57
who just didn't like school,
18
42000
2000
te cileve nuk u pelqente aspak shkolla,
00:59
couldn't see any relationship between what they learned in school
19
44000
2000
sepse nuk arritin te shikonin lidhjen midis asaj ç'ka mesonin ne shkolle
01:01
and future jobs.
20
46000
2000
me punet qe do te benin ne te ardhmen.
01:03
And employers who kept complaining
21
48000
2000
Dhe punedhenesit qe vazhdimisht ankoheshin
01:05
that the kids coming out of school weren't actually ready for real work,
22
50000
3000
sepse nxenesit qe mbaronin shkollen nuk ishin realisht gati per te nisur punen,
01:08
didn't have the right attitudes and experience.
23
53000
2000
sepse nuk kishin eksperience dhe qendrimin e duhur ndaj punes.
01:10
And so we try to ask:
24
55000
2000
Keshtu pra ne filluam ti benim vetes pyetjen:
01:12
What kind of school would have the teenagers fighting to get in,
25
57000
2000
Ne çfare lloj shkolle adoleshentet do te luftonin te hynin,
01:14
not fighting to stay out?
26
59000
3000
e jo te luftonin per te mbetur jashte?
01:17
And after hundreds of conversations
27
62000
2000
Dhe pas qindra bisedash
01:19
with teenagers and teachers and parents
28
64000
2000
me adoleshentet, me mesuesit, me prinderit,
01:21
and employers and schools
29
66000
2000
me punedhenesit dhe shkollat
01:23
from Paraguay to Australia,
30
68000
2000
nga Paraguai ne Australi,
01:25
and looking at some of the academic research,
31
70000
2000
dhe duke u konsultuar dhe me kerkime akademike,
01:27
which showed the importance
32
72000
2000
te cilat tregonin rendesine
01:29
of what's now called non-cognitive skills --
33
74000
2000
e asaj ç'ka quhet aftesi-e papercaktuar
01:31
the skills of motivation, resilience --
34
76000
3000
aftesi si motivimi, elasticiteti
01:34
and that these are as important
35
79000
2000
te cilat jane po aq te rendesishme sa
01:36
as the cognitive skills -- formal academic skills --
36
81000
2000
dhe aftesite e percaktuara - aftesite akademike formale-
01:38
we came up with an answer, a very simple answer in a way,
37
83000
3000
arritem te gjenim nje pergjigje, qe ne nje fare menyre eshte shume pergjigje e thjeshte,♪
01:41
which we called the Studio School.
38
86000
2000
te cilem e quajtem Shkolla Studio
01:43
And we called it a studio school
39
88000
2000
E quajtem shkolle studio
01:45
to go back to the original idea of a studio in the Renaissance
40
90000
4000
duke menduar idene origjinale te studios ne periudhen e Rilindjes
01:49
where work and learning are integrated.
41
94000
2000
kur puna dhe mesimi ishin te lidhura me njera tjetren.
01:51
You work by learning,
42
96000
2000
Punohet duke mesuar,
01:53
and you learn by working.
43
98000
2000
dhe mesohet duke punuar.
01:55
And the design we came up with had the following characteristics.
44
100000
3000
Dhe skema perfundimtare qe arritem ka keto karakteristika.
01:58
First of all, we wanted small schools --
45
103000
2000
Pikesepari, na duhen shkolla te vogla --
02:00
about 300, 400 pupils --
46
105000
2000
rreth 300, 400 nxenes -
02:02
14 to 19 year-olds,
47
107000
2000
14 deri ne 19 vjec,
02:04
and critically, about 80 percent of the curriculum done
48
109000
3000
dhe ne menyre kritike te perfshinin ne 80 per qind te veprimtarise
02:07
not through sitting in classrooms,
49
112000
2000
jo veprimtari te kryera duke u ulur neper klasa,
02:09
but through real-life, practical projects,
50
114000
2000
por ne jete-reale, ne projekte praktike,
02:11
working on commission
51
116000
2000
duke punuar me perqindje fitimi
02:13
to businesses, NGO's and others.
52
118000
2000
per biznese, OJQ etj.
02:15
That every pupil would have a coach, as well as teachers,
53
120000
3000
Dhe çdo nxenes duhet te kete nje tutor/trajner, ashtu si dhe mesues,
02:18
who would have timetables
54
123000
2000
qe te kene orare
02:20
much more like a work environment in a business.
55
125000
2000
shume te ngjashme me ato te vendeve te punes ne nje biznes.
02:22
And all of this will be done within the public system,
56
127000
2000
Dhe e gjithe kjo ide do te aplikohet ne sistemin publik,
02:24
funded by public money,
57
129000
2000
te financuar me fonde publike,
02:26
but independently run.
58
131000
2000
por te manaxhohen ne menyre te pavarur.
02:28
And all at no extra cost, no selection,
59
133000
3000
Dhe e gjithe kjo pa kosto shtese, pa seleksionim,
02:31
and allowing the pupils the route into university,
60
136000
3000
duke i hapur nxenesve rrugen per ne Universitet,
02:34
even if many of them would want to become entrepreneurs
61
139000
3000
dhe nese shume prej tyre do te donin te beheshin biznesmen
02:37
and have manual jobs as well.
62
142000
2000
ose do te kene pune manuale.
02:39
Underlying it was some very simple ideas
63
144000
3000
Ne baze te ketij propozimi ishin idete shume te thjeshta
02:42
that large numbers of teenagers learn best by doing things,
64
147000
3000
se nje pjese e madhe e nxenesve mesojne me mire duke i bere gjerat.
02:45
they learn best in teams
65
150000
2000
mesojne me mire ne grupe
02:47
and they learn best by doing things for real --
66
152000
3000
dhe mesojne me mire kur bejne gjera reale --
02:50
all the opposite of what mainstream schooling
67
155000
2000
krejt e kunderta e asaj çka ndodh
02:52
actually does.
68
157000
2000
ne nje shkolle tradicionale.
02:54
Now that was a nice idea,
69
159000
2000
Kjo ide na pelqeu,
02:56
so we moved into the rapid prototyping phase.
70
161000
3000
dhe filluam menjehere fazen e proves.
02:59
We tried it out,
71
164000
2000
Provuam fillimisht,
03:01
first in Luton --
72
166000
2000
ne Luton --
03:03
famous for its airport and not much else, I fear --
73
168000
2000
qytet i famshem per aeroportin e tij po jo per me teper kam idene -
03:05
and in Blackpool -- famous for its beaches and leisure.
74
170000
3000
dhe ne Blackpool -- i famshem per plazhet dhe per defrimet.
03:08
And what we found -- and we got quite a lot of things wrong
75
173000
2000
Dhe ajo ç'ka zbuluam -- ishte se shume gjera i kishim menduar gabim
03:10
and then improved them --
76
175000
2000
dhe me pas i permiresuam --
03:12
but we found that the young people loved it.
77
177000
2000
por zbuluam se te rinjte e adhuronin kete lloj shkolle.
03:14
They found it much more motivational, much more exciting
78
179000
3000
I dukej shume me motivuese, shume me interesante
03:17
than traditional education.
79
182000
2000
se edukimi tradicional.
03:19
And perhaps most important of all,
80
184000
2000
Dhe mbase ajo ç'ka eshte me e rendesishme
03:21
two years later when the exam results came through,
81
186000
3000
eshte se dy vjet me vone kur erdhi momenti per te bere provimet perfundimtare,
03:24
the pupils who had been put on these field trials
82
189000
2000
rezultatet treguan se nxenesit qe kishin bere shkollen prove
03:26
who were in the lowest performing groups
83
191000
2000
te cilet kishin patur ne te kaluaren resultatet me te uleta
03:28
had jumped right to the top --
84
193000
2000
kishin kaluar ne majen e listes -
03:30
in fact, pretty much at the top decile of performance
85
195000
3000
faktikisht, ne grupin me rezultatet me te mira
03:33
in terms of GCSE's,
86
198000
2000
duke u bazuar ne GCSE
03:35
which is the British marking system.
87
200000
3000
qe eshte sistemi anglez per venien e notave.
03:38
Now not surprisingly,
88
203000
2000
Dhe ishte e pritshme,
03:40
that influenced some people to think we were onto something.
89
205000
3000
qe disa njerez te mendonin se kishin filluar nje rruge te rendesishme.
03:43
The minister of education
90
208000
2000
Ministri i Arsimit
03:45
down south in London
91
210000
2000
ne jug te Londres
03:47
described himself as a "big fan."
92
212000
2000
deklaroi se ishte "nje tifoz i vertete" i projektit.
03:49
And the business organizations thought we were onto something
93
214000
3000
Dhe organizatat e biznesit menduan se vertet po benim diçka te rendesishme
03:52
in terms of a way of preparing children much better
94
217000
2000
per te pergatitur nxenesit shume me mire
03:54
for real-life work today.
95
219000
2000
per punen-reale te diteve te sotme.
03:56
And indeed, the head of the Chambers of Commerce
96
221000
2000
Bile, dhe Shefi i Dhomes se Tregtise
03:58
is now the chairman of the Studio Schools Trust
97
223000
3000
tani eshte president i Fondacionit te Shkollave Studio
04:01
and helping it, not just with big businesses,
98
226000
3000
dhe po ndihmon, jo vetem nepermjet bizneseve te medha,
04:04
but small businesses all over the country.
99
229000
3000
por dhe bizneseve te vogla ne gjithe vendin.
04:07
We started with two schools.
100
232000
2000
Ne filluam me dy shkolla,
04:09
That's grown this year to about 10.
101
234000
2000
Kete vit kemi arritur ne 10.
04:11
And next year, we're expecting about 35 schools
102
236000
3000
Dhe presim qe vitin tjeter te behen 35 shkolla.
04:14
open across England,
103
239000
2000
ne gjithe Angline,
04:16
and another 40 areas
104
241000
2000
dhe 40 zona te tjera
04:18
want to have their own schools opening --
105
243000
2000
po presin qe te hapin shkollat e tyre --
04:20
a pretty rapid spread
106
245000
2000
pra kjo eshte nje perhapje e shpejte
04:22
of this idea.
107
247000
2000
e kesaj ideje.
04:24
Interestingly,
108
249000
2000
Eshte shume interesant fakti se,
04:26
it's happened almost entirely without media coverage.
109
251000
3000
gjithçka ka ndodhur pothuaj pa ndihmen e mediave.
04:29
It's happened almost entirely without big money behind it.
110
254000
4000
Dhe pothuaj krejtesisht pa perdorur shuma ta medha per projektin,
04:33
It spread almost entirely through word of mouth, virally,
111
258000
4000
Ideja u shpernda pothuaj krejtesisht nga goja ne goje, ne menyre virale,
04:37
across teachers, parents,
112
262000
2000
nga mesues, prinder,
04:39
people involved in education.
113
264000
2000
njerez qe ishin te perfshire ne sistemin e edukimit dhe arsimimit.
04:41
And it spread because of the power of an idea --
114
266000
2000
Dhe u shpernda sepse ideja ishte shume e fuqishme -
04:43
so the very, very simple idea
115
268000
2000
dhe flitej per nje menyre shume te thjeshte
04:45
about turning education on its head
116
270000
2000
se si mund ti jepej rendesi arsimimit
04:47
and putting the things which were marginal,
117
272000
3000
duke perdorur metodat qe per momentin konsideroheshin si anesore,
04:50
things like working in teams, doing practical projects,
118
275000
3000
si per shembull punimi ne grup, berja e projekteve praktike,
04:53
and putting them right at the heart of learning,
119
278000
3000
dhe vendosja e tyre drejtperdrejt ne zemren e sistemit te arsimimit,
04:56
rather than on the edges.
120
281000
3000
dhe jo ne cepat e larget.
04:59
Now there's a whole set of new schools
121
284000
2000
Tani shume shkolla te reja
05:01
opening up this autumn.
122
286000
2000
do te hapin dyert ne kete vjeshte.
05:03
This is one from Yorkshire
123
288000
2000
Kjo per shembull eshte nje shkolle ne Yorkshire
05:05
where, in fact, my nephew, I hope, will be able to attend it.
124
290000
3000
ne te cilen une shpresoj se do te kete mundesine te marre pjese nipi im.
05:08
And this one is focused
125
293000
2000
Dhe kjo shkolle qe fokusohet
05:10
on creative and media industries.
126
295000
2000
ne industrine kreative dhe te mediave.
05:12
Other ones have a focus on health care,
127
297000
2000
Shkolla te tjera jane te fokusuara ne sherbimin shendetsor,
05:14
tourism, engineering
128
299000
2000
turizem, inxhinjeri,
05:16
and other fields.
129
301000
2000
dhe fusha te tjera.
05:18
We think we're onto something.
130
303000
2000
Ne mendojme se po bejme diçka.
05:20
It's not perfect yet,
131
305000
2000
Akoma nuk eshte perfekte,
05:22
but we think this is one idea
132
307000
2000
por ne mendojme se kjo ide
05:24
which can transform the lives
133
309000
2000
mund te trasformoje jetet
05:26
of thousands, possibly millions, of teenagers
134
311000
2000
e mijera, pse jo milione adoleshentesh
05:28
who are really bored by schooling.
135
313000
2000
te cilet jane realisht te merzitur nga shkolla.
05:30
It doesn't animate them.
136
315000
2000
Sepse shkolla nuk i defren.
05:32
They're not like all of you who can sit in rows
137
317000
3000
Nuk jane si puna juaj qe rrini tani ulur ne rradhet e salles
05:35
and hear things said to you for hour after hour.
138
320000
3000
ndersa degjoni ate çka ju tregojne per ore te tera.
05:38
They want to do things, they want to get their hands dirty,
139
