INTERVIEW ZEMOS98:
1 - what the initiative exa-shit? (Source, the whys, etc..)
EXA-Shit is a provocative invitation to think deeply and
radically on the dominant system of teaching and learning in
universities (and other schools).
ORIGIN:
Well, it took several years, personally and in groups,
rehearsing and studying the diversity of ways of learning. As far as
is called "alternative education" never see a classroom "militarized"
and evaluation by test drives. Neither copy notes as a
"Unstitched". People sit in a circle, are dynamic and games
of trust, to tune some alumni / ae with others / as, work
into groups to participate easily learned, and the people involved,
at the same time learn and teach what you know sharing
openly with others, without fear and with hope and joy
learn that way as logical and natural (not authoritarian)
Personally, on the subject of Animal Biodiversity and Conservation
of the UMA, I had the opportunity to test the contribution of
students when they are forced by the traditional system. I
coordinated half of the course, and allowed me to record, of
advance, the maximum score for each student / a. The result was a
exceptional creativity in their work, which contributed much
knowledge more than mere isolated or canned.
The approach grew out of the fact that it is a subject
"Special" and novel in the sense that its goal is to train and
become aware of the global problems we face
global scale, and affect many species, including the
human species.
(As indicated in our report, the situation "peculiar" current
Malaga and the Spanish State, are very significant and are a
very real and close pretext to emphasize, from Malaga, in
EXA-Shit!)
Keep in mind that the only thing needed to get out of the doldrums in the
that humanity is a little imagination and creativity.
If this imagination and creativity is not encouraged in class, because
learning activities are based on repetition, in fear,
in immobility in excess theory, etc ... the results are
obviously very different. Interestingly, where it did work the
expressly creativity is in commercial advertising, and so it goes.
EXA-Shit! not only refers to the exams, even if they are your
most striking symbol. The failure of universities (in general)
to respond to the most pressing current needs of the
Humanity is described by many sites. What we have done
is to specify several specific aspects to overcome to get that
longed change: 1) conventional tests 2) available
alumni / ae in the classroom, and 3) the copy notes "as an unstitched".
Under a systemic point of view, which is what we use, change
some aspect of education, albeit very specific (and
seemingly unimportant), could have consequences
impressive improvement in terms of the practice of education.
What happens is that in many ways, society and education
based on a less systemic and more reductionist and mechanistic;
this means that many people actually contemplated, or about
Studies, for example, as if the elements of the
Actually, or their studies, they were separated from each other and
both were independent operation. This implies that, by
example, to learn a lot (believe), you need to study a lot
amount of information, adding hours and hours of dedication and
study.
The systemic approach is multiplicative rather than summative.
A very practical example of the systemic approach is precisely the
EXA campaign-Shit! As this is a topic of great interest for
a large part of the population, which is well aware of the
injustice of conventional systems of education, is a
debate that can lift a stir at many scales without
too much effort, since the easy spread of EXA-Shit! makes
be transmitted at high speed, in a manner therefore multiplicative.
For us it is the culmination of the Simbiodiversity. The
Simbiodiversity tries to break the barrier between the perceptual
humans and nature (science and letters) in the career of Biology
and Environmental. And EXA-Shit! violence is related
structure that occurs in the classroom (from all causes mentioned)
violence against nature we see in intensity
growing around us.
(You can google and find information Simbiodiversity diverse
interesting and perhaps surprising, the diversity of the topics
treated)
2 - The exam is the cause or the consequence of a larger problem
related to education?
In the systemic approach (in a network) causes and effects are not
opposites, but that a cause may be an effect of another cause and
backwards.
The exam is the most significant rite of capitalism. Capitalism
comes to mind. By squeezing the brain increasingly more people, based
to learn to force both canned knowledge (theory), we
find a society populated by "functionally illiterate." The
result, in principle, it seems surprising: in the world there are millions
and millions of people literate and universities. And despite
So stoically endure every day a greater number of injustices
by those who govern us. The problems in the world will not stop
to grow, while the university population and cultured.
Is not that a glaring contradiction? And if we consider the
enormous accumulation of all types of scientific knowledge that
Mankind has made especially in recent decades.
Do you know why there was a revolution in the State Spanish anarchist in
1936? Precisely because 40% of the anarchists were
"Illiterate / ace". Put another way: there were so contaminated
mentally as we / as they knew very well what they did not want and
fought in heart, and without prejudice building communities
self-management that were the envy of many foreign visitors
of the time.
Well, that is "the problem". All revolutions are "illiterate".
For the current revolution in the making, we must let
("Unlearning") of extraneous nonsense so we have tried to
put on many levels. We have tried to build as beings each
perceived more and more abstract (living in) a world increasingly
Abstract. I can write here the word LIFE, but here there is no
any living cell, but something quite different: a few signs (very
alineaditos) that represent what is LIFE.
Our knowledge is increasingly theoretical and far from reality.
And here, not only education, but especially the mass media
have much to do.
We are living beings able to perceive and process a number of
extraordinary information (4 billion bits per second)
through our senses. The more we wring the brain,
unless we look at the basic function of the brain, which is precisely
the capture and process all that wonderful free information!
channeled through the senses.
And here the word "HAPPY" is essential. Content comes from
"Consensus". Consensus is feeling CON. A living being, a human being is a
sensory connection organism (consensus) everything permanent
around him at all times. And your action, your survival will depend
directly to be with open senses that consensus
permanent.
If you're crappy mood, for example because of an exam, you are not
happy. Which results in a decreased ability
perception and action, in every way, and therefore your
survival.
That is the function of endorphins. Keeping to-attempt WITH all alert.
Therefore, in education, the only assessment should be desirable
be happy or not. If someone at one point in the class, not
is happy (no consensus), would be entitled to speak and change
activity freely. Because there is no learning enjoyment
good. Without learning enjoyment decreases in proportion
decrease the degree of enjoyment.
Teachers / as they learned based on conventional tests
have known no other ways of learning, since obviously going to
surprised with proposals like EXA-Shit! And the consequence of the
tests made at the time is that now seek to follow
imposing their students / as more conventional tests.
Endorphins cheapest on the market are spicy chili or
chilli. They contain capsaicin, a molecule opioid group
segregating in our brain to stay awake and
consensus (happy) standing. If a teacher or someone puts you face
rare with EXA-Shit! I can advise endorphins (chile) to
sulfure not too much, and you can understand this campaign and all that
hides behind, ie a world without suffering and where everything is
shared and problems are never individual but collective, and
both have solutions.
3 - Why propose evaluation system as an alternative to the exam?
For nearly four billion years of life on Earth, the
only existing evaluation has been living and sharing one's
LIFE. And now we we in the West, in the last century
here, and we intend to convince everyone that the best
way to acquire knowledge is based examinatorio stress.
In the West we hit up 25 years of our life to "learn"
to live life, but almost without living, ie enclosed
four walls thousands of hours (just at the time of our
life in which we are more awake and more eager to live). How
learned before? How to learn the indigenous communities? How
learn other species?
LIVING THE LIFE As well, directly. You go to Tangier, for example,
and you see the kids learning at the shoe's father
sharing with the parent directly all activities. Is a
direct learning, entirely practical, day to day, without examinations. A
Continuous assessment is called to live and survive.
And interestingly that what we Westerners now proposing that
is that we have a very rich array of technologies of all kinds
for learning.
Imagine discuss any topic through Internet, from the
classroom, with people from the other side of the planet. Imagine bringing the
class people that I have and share their own experiences,
although they are not doctors or teachers (with title). Imagine
invite the class to people from other countries and cultures,
interestingly, now fill "our" own cities. Imagine that
every day is a different person to share the class with
you / as. Imagine learning in class to play a series of rhythms
drum and relate the experience to the subjects of this course
(Already given). Imagine that there is a single class begins without
done before and trusted cooperative games. Imagine that in class
biology such people brings all the animals, or
plants or spices you can from their homes. Imagine a day when
90% of the classes are open to the outside (because we have a climate
enviable) (UMA-Sun: the University of the Sunshine Coast). Imagine
dance in a circle in a classroom or outside, for example in the Baths of
Carmen. Imagine that one day (or many) classes give naked / as.
YES, IN BALL! Why not?
We are aware that adult fashion dress that every
day of the year was a fashion imposed by cultures further north where
much of the year is "preferable" to be warm. (Interestingly it was in
these countries further north colder where discipline was imposed
(The "mother" of the test) as a climatic factor, since the
cold there becomes a major limiting factor
both the temperature itself as food and resources
energy needed).
Being naked / as, very significantly increases our
sensory capabilities, this being CON-tempted (consensus) yet
around us, as our body is overpopulated
receivers of all kinds, which are being constantly dressed,
for the first time in thousands of years, wasted.
Imagine is essential for survival (live super). Is a
infinite resource (imagination is infinite) and to throw to walk
all that is required are endorphins. Imagine you can circumvent
these neural shorts are our "Pacman" and
apprehend-scientemente (in consensus) all this myriad of
sensations (stimuli) that reach us every second from the outside.
Remember, finally, that we are heirs / as Christianity,
antiendorfínica culture and therefore suffering and unimaginative.
STUDENTS / AS YOU HAVE THE POWER because you walk sobraos imagination.
WHY I allowed DENSO dwell in language, that of the
Simbiodiversity, while CREATIVE, providing easy
many issues together in a small space. ABUSE, in this sense, of
you / as with the confidence that WE CAN CHANGE THINGS.
And STILL / AS, for EXA-Shit! is only a step from the
Simbiodiversity. Continuing to give you an idea will
even more explosive and (of course) supported by the best science
currently the most revolutionary, which surprisingly is not taught
in universities. A science that such perverted form
current of seeing things, or the world, translated and integrated into
simple language we have dared to call: THE MAGIC OF Gearry
POKER (gea = Gaia). Gearry Poker is the warrior (or guerrilla / a)
represents the youth or student, whose arms are those knowledge
advanced scientists will allow (CAN BE SURE / AS), not
just take forever happy and conventional examinations,
but to show that they know more than their teachers / as.
That's the Simbiodiversity revolution.
