Hole in the Wall “牆中洞”項目

1999年,“牆中洞”項目(Hole in the Wall,簡稱為HIW)作為一個針對於孩子學習的教育實驗首次啟動。起初,一台電腦被安放在德裏Kalkaji貧民窟的一麵牆亭裏,孩子們可以免費使用這台電腦。這個教育實驗的目的是要證明在沒有任何正規訓練的情況下,孩子們可以通過電腦輕鬆學習。蘇伽特稱這種學習為鑿壁上網教育計劃。這個實驗在多地進行,在印度郊區有40多個“牆中洞”項目。2004年,柬埔寨也進行了這個實驗。“牆中洞”項目的興趣點包括教育、遠程展示、自發組織體係、認知體係、自然科學和意識。

“牆中洞”實驗項目在流行文化裏也留下了深刻烙印。印度小說作家兼外交官維卡斯·史瓦盧普讀了有關蘇伽特實驗的報道後,有感而發,創作了小說處女作《Q&A》,隨後被改編為奧斯卡金像獎獲獎電影《貧民窟的百萬富翁》。

There is evidence from 10)neuroscience. The center of our brain, when it’s threatened, it shuts down everything else. Punishment and examinations are seen as threats. So we basically make our children shut their brains down, and then we say, “Perform.” We need to look at learning as the product of educational selforganization. The teacher sets the process in motion and then stands back 11)in awe and watches as learning happens. My wish is to build these Self-Organized Learning Environments; design a future of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into their wonder and their ability to work together. Help me build this school. It will be called the School in the Cloud, where children go on these intellectual adventures driven by life’s big questions.

Plus, you can also do Self-Organized Learning Environments at home, in school, outside school, in clubs. It’s very easy to do. There’s a great document produced by TED which will tell you how to do it. Please do it across all five continents and send me the data, then I’ll put it all together, move it into the School of Clouds, and create the future of learning. That’s my wish.

And just one last thing. At the top of the Himalayas, at 12,000 feet, where the air is thin, I once built two Hole in the Wall computers, and the children flocked there. And there was this little girl who was following me around. I said to her,“You know, I want to give a computer to everybody, every child. I don’t know, what should I do?” She suddenly raised her hand, and said to me, “Get on with it.” I think it was good advice. I’ll follow her advice.

神經學上有支持的證據。我們的大腦中樞在受到威脅的時候會關閉一切功能。懲罰和考試被視為威脅。所以基本上,我們是令孩子關閉了他們的大腦後再命令其“運作”。我們需要將學習視為自發式教育的產物。老師在初始時設定進程,然後以敬畏的姿勢退到一旁,觀察學習的發生。我的願望是建立這種“自發組織的學習環境”;設計一種未來的學習模式,給世界各地的孩子們提供支持,幫助他們滿足好奇心並挖掘他們團隊合作的能力。幫助我建立這所學校吧。它將被稱為“雲學校”,在那兒,孩子們在人生難題的驅使下繼續這些智力旅程。

另外,你可以在家,在學校,在校外,在社團裏,組織自我學習。這很容易做到。TED製作過一部很棒的紀錄片,將告訴你如何去做。請把這個信息帶到世界各地,並把數據發給我,然後我會將其組合在一起,放進雲學校,創造未來的學習模式。這就是我的願望。

最後一件事情。在喜馬拉雅山的頂端,在12,000英尺的高空,那裏空氣稀薄,我曾置放了兩台“牆洞”電腦,孩子們聚集在那裏。而後有個小女孩跟著我轉。我對她說:“你知道吧,我想給大家每人,每個孩子一台電腦。我不知道,我應該做點什麼?”她突然伸出自己的手(向我要電腦),對我說:“行動起來呀。”我認為這是很好的建議。我會聽從她的建議。
