Louis Agassiz, il noto zoologo che insegnò a Harvard a metà dell'Ottocento, era solito dire ai suoi studenti: “Guardate i vostri pesci”; e spesso non aggiungeva molto. Il consiglio che dava loro senza dirlo era questo: fatevi carico delle vostre conoscenze, seguite i vostri interessi, create voi stessi la vostra ispirazione, osservate, riflettete, scoprite nessi, stabilite un rapporto indipendente e originale con i pesci… e con tutto l'universo. Oggi, proprio perché il clima in cui viviamo li sprona troppo spesso a cercare il risultato che fa colpo (e quindi, inavvertitamente, incentiva anche la dipendenza, l'autoreferenzialità e una consapevolezza dei propri diritti che giunge a essere paralizzante), ai giovani farebbe bene guardare più da vicino ciò che fanno e perché lo fanno. In questo modo, la ridefinizione di educazione proposta da Agassiz tornerebbe come un'eco, ma con un suono nuovo.

Bonus: UX Design focuses on improving user experience by planning user expectations and habits into software or product design. Curiosity types may help with design focused on what type of curiosity is motivating the consumer to seek out the product or website. Main: Curiosity and Intrinsic Motivation. The feeling of curiosity may be similar to intrinsic motivation - an internal drive to explore, learn, practice and improve skills. We may have more intrinsic motivation or curiosity about something when we have two things: competence - the challenge is reasonably matched to our current skill level - it would be achievable with some effort, and autonomy - freedom to try without severe risks linked to any potential mistakes. Extrinsic motivation is an external force encouraging or coercing action - a school grade or job bonus is linked to the effort. Being allowed to be curious may help children and adults to achieve better success with grades, decisions, and even long term mental health. Trailer: Curiosity, an overview.

Who says? David McCullough, Jr., that’s who. He’s the guy who said ‘You Are Not Special’ over and over and over again to a graduating class of high school seniors in a wealthy Boston community, leaving some shocked, others puzzled, but most inspired. Why would you say such a thing to an accomplished group on their day to be feted? Because it needed it. And what David McCullough, Jr. said that day has been repeated millions of times, becoming a YouTube sensation and eventually leading to a book deal: You Are Not Special: And Other Encouragements. At the heart of it all David McCullough, Jr. is a modest man who lives simply and teaches high school English. His deep love of reading and discussing the books he’s read is captivating. Listening to a chat with him could very well influence your next book choice. Not long after recording, host Kevin Walsh went out and purchased Zorba the Greek. If the name sounds familiar, it should. He shares a name with his famous father, David McCullough Sr., perhaps America’s most accomplished author of American and Presidential history. David Jr shares wonderful stories of commandeering his father’s typewriter at a young age and bringing to his dad the typed version of chicken scratch. Well imagine a father’s pride when the same son presented him with the finished version of his own book years later. If anyone has a good handle on the struggles of today’s kids, you’d have to think David McCullough Jr. is more than qualified to speak about it. And he does so with a passion and zest that’s delightfully wise. View the full transcript at https://whyireadnonfiction.com/you-are-not-special-with-david-mccullough-jr/
Many Asian Americans see college education, particularly elite college education, as their main pathway to success. But is that true? Furthermore, does the process turn Asian American kids against each other to strive for inclusion in a selective white liberal milieu? Jess, Oxford, and Oriana draw upon their experiences at these types of schools to talk about whether we should idealize these institutions at all.

An interview with David McCullough Jr., author of You Are Not Special (HarperCollins, April 2014). The interview is conducted by Karen Dziekonski, Executive Producer @HarperAudio_US. A profound expansion of David McCullough, Jr.'s popular commencement speech—a call to arms against a prevailing, narrow, conception of success viewed by millions on YouTube—You Are (Not) Special is a love letter to students and parents as well as a guide to a truly fulfilling, happy life. Children today, says David McCullough—high school English teacher, father of four, and son and namesake of the famous historian—are being encouraged to sacrifice passionate engagement with life for specious notions of success. The intense pressure to excel discourages kids from taking chances, failing, and learning empathy and self-confidence from those failures. In You Are (Not) Special, McCullough elaborates on his now-famous speech exploring how, for what purpose, and for whose sake, we're raising our kids. With wry, affectionate humor, McCullough takes on hovering parents, ineffectual schools, professional college prep, electronic distractions, club sports, and generally the manifestations, and the applications and consequences of privilege. By acknowledging that the world is indifferent to them, McCullough takes pressure off of students to be extraordinary achievers and instead exhorts them to roll up their sleeves and do something useful with their advantages.
