Curricula in school often do not prepare students adequately for the kinds of critical and creative thinking that they will need in their careers and lives. Part of the problem is that the characteristics of real-world problems differ greatly from the characteristics of many curricular activities, and so what the students learn in school about critical and creative thinking may fail when generalized to everyday problems. We suggest that extracurricular activities, such as in aspects of musical and athletic training, often prepare students better for real-world challenges. We describe the kinds of methods that can be used in curricular instruction to better prepare students for the challenges of the everyday world.
学校课程往往无法让学生充分具备他们在职业生涯和生活中所需的批判性和创造性思维。部分问题在于,现实世界问题的特点与许多课程活动的特点有很大差异,因此学生在学校学到的关于批判性和创造性思维的知识,在应用于日常问题时可能会失效。我们认为,课外活动,比如音乐和体育训练方面的活动,往往能让学生更好地应对现实世界的挑战。我们描述了一些可以在课程教学中使用的方法,以便让学生更好地应对日常世界的挑战。
