​The Slow Education is a movement that claimed another model of education, out of rigid structures which are only the latest results. The Slow Movement was created to provide an educational system that generates the necessary connection between knowledge and learning. Carl Honoré was the pioneer in this type of education. It is interesting that in many aspects of daily life can be practiced Slow movement.

 

Proposals for the Education Slow

Some of the pillars on which is founded the Slow Education and promoted by the same values ​​are:

• Ecological Literacy : education for a sustainable world, which promotes respect for and nature, creating a responsible consumption.

• Creativity : the processes are more important than results. Thus we see how linking creativity and discovery.

• School gardens : students learn to observe the rate of growth of fruits and vegetables, which has nothing to do with speed.

• Knowledge : is acquired through questioning arguments, reflect, listen and discuss.

• The education authority: it alerts the consequences of leaving the responsibility to define the educational strategy to governments.

 

Schools Slow

 

Today, there are two school models that work in accordance with the fundamentals of the Slow movement. Schools are Waldorf and Montessori, who have long been working on the promotion of these values ​​for students to build a world more sustainable and respectful.

 

It's interesting how in traditional schools, will gradually enhancing the slow movement, for example by building school gardens.

We invite you to elaborate on the Slow movement through the following reference works on the slow education and the benefits of this pedagogy.

 

In my opinion, I think it's a good system, because not all children learn the same way. It is preferable that they discover new things and not just what matters are the results. A child may have studied hard for the exam and to have learned nothing. I think this method should start teaching in the classroom.
