Discussion assignment unit 8
New
model school
In
this chapter, Jacobs talks
about the idea of switching from old-fashioned schools to schools with new
forms, where he said, “To move our school structures into more
open, fluid, and correspondingly inventive forms, we need new forms,
not reform”. (Jacobs, H.H.,2010, P2)
In doing so, he invites for the idea of
comprehensive change from the roots and not the idea of reforming what exists,
he calls for the establishment of new schools with clear heckle systems
consistent with the standards of the twenty-first century, these schools where
the freedom of creativity and thinking and the establishment of new curricula
also conform to the needs of society by taking the opinions of models of
members of society students, teachers and parents
“Similarly, in designing a school environment, we can
consider a wide range of options for each component, but then we need to match
these program structures with the actual needs of students. As a 5th grader in
New Jersey once said to me, "You know, our school is a kind of
biosphere." To think in fresh ways about the shaping of new versions of
school, preparation and research are essential. Otherwise, we will simply
reiterate what we know” (Jacobs, H.H.,2010, P3)
Officials must answer a wide range of basic
questions that come to the mind of community members that must govern the programmatic structures we use to support
student learning as follows:
What kind of long-term and short-term schedules will support our best
learners? What different ways to bring
together our learners will help them in their learning experiences? How should faculty be trained to best serve
students and help each other? What
different ways to bring together our learners? How should faculty be formed to
best serve students and help each other? What different ways to bring together
our learners? How should faculty be
formed to best serve students and help each other? What different ways to bring together our
learners? How should faculty be formed
to best serve students and help each other? What different ways to bring together
our learners will help them with their learning experiences? How should faculty be trained to best serve
students and help each other? What different ways to bring together our
learners? How should faculty members be
formed to best serve students and help each other? What different ways to bring together our
learners? How should faculty members be
trained to best serve students and help each other? What different Are how physical
and virtual spaces can be created and used to support our work? (Jacobs, H.H.,2010)
In fact, the reform of the educational system in the
countries must be carried out with a comprehensive societal will, for example
in Egypt, the Minister of Education is trying to develop what is in the
education system, and I mean here not by creating a new model in the first place, but by conducting a reform
of education in Egypt, but it was met with great popular rejection and if it
were not for the belief of the Egyptian leadership in this transformation to be
implemented, this positive transformation would have stopped. The idea of
changing the curriculum or perhaps establishing high-level advanced schools,
that the opinions of students and parents of things and of course teachers were
not taken, and this is a focal point in the process of transformation and as I
mentioned in the project of unity that must be established sub-language whose
task is to introduce new ideas in the Egyptian curriculum and schools through
public meetings of samples of society as well as conducting multiple
questionnaires to take opinions to reach the best possible education.
It is modern education and schools that can prepare learners
not only for the skills of the 21st century, but beyond that, these learners
will live in a different time than ours, another time with different technology and different potentials, and
that is why the idea of preparing learners comes to the future.
After some colleagues knew that I am doing a master's degree
in education from the United States, they asked me about my opinion in
education now in Egypt because what is happening in Egypt in the field of
education is a great renaissance, so I thanked the efforts made by the Ministry
of Education in my country in order to make the change by developing strong
curricula based on research, projects, critical thinking, problem solving and
innovation, but my opinion was met with disapproval, rejecting the idea of
changing the education system under the pretext of the inability of students to
Understanding the new curricula and that there is no material potential for the state to develop the
education system in Egypt and in doing so they are trying to go back, I replied
to them that surely as long as the state made decisions on the development of
the education system, it is certain that the
sufficient budget will be provided that will provide students with open
scientific research and the treatment of schools with different universities on
the development of teachers to transfer new scientific knowledge to learners
Therefore, the
process of education begins with the establishment of modern schools equipped
with the latest educational systems and means and laboratories and the
development of internal regulations for students and teachers as there should
be a flexible curriculum based on the achievement of learners and their
achievement and does not require the presence of the student all the time in
the classroom to complete his work and thus create a new generation based on
creativity we find that the student can accomplish different
tasks in a less than expected time, also agree with local and international
organizations to allow students to live with them and take their opinions and
exchange ideas with them (Jacobs, H.H.,2010)
We must prepare
learners for the future with modern science based on the skills of the 21st
century and that education should be based on research and projects and provide
solutions to problems in society, done with a popular and governmental will to
develop education and perhaps we need an international will as well.
