Instead of a secondary school classroom labs
- Interview with Dalton School in New York, Dr. Richard Students do not lined Timetable schedule does not need to listen to ring tones class. School for them is not too daunting, the hand, appealing. They marched into the brisk pace of “classroom”, where there could be * made equipment and instruments. They take the issue to explore would like to know the common knowledge, there are difficulties also be able to consult in the next teacher. Which they freely choose to go “laboratory” learning. When they are addicted to a study, it will probably not hear the ringing of school.
For the tired teacher “Man Tangguan” Chinese students, such a learning approach, while appealing, but it seems that some idealistic. Held in Beijing in early October of “world-renowned secondary school principals Forum”, New York, Dr. Richard Dalton school principals bring their experience, Dalton is such a paradise to attract secondary school students.
Dr. Richard said Helen Dalton, founder of the school. Pakaste Ms. goal is “to enable schools to become as attractive as the game.” Her most striking change program is to use “laboratory” to replace the classroom. She allows students to choose courses according to their own interests, in the “laboratory” where students take the initiative to explore the knowledge, solve the problem. However, she suggested that the learning system, students also clearly a long-term learning task, such as each subject should be completed within one month what the students to schedule according to their own learning progress. Pakaste believe that the child’s nature is curious and eager to learn, and she was reluctant to students interested in a particular subject, let ring force students to turn to another subject and teachers. Give full play to the personality of the “laboratory” outside, there are common learning classroom. Not so much class, but rather that lectures and discussions more appropriate. Teacher to student organizations into different groups to discuss the school and the world what is happening. Pakaste hoped that through this collaborative approach to stimulate students an idea of citizenship and collective consciousness.
Dr. Richard says Dalton schools also try to recover the real living environment for students to learn in life experience to solve practical problems, rather than rote memorization of knowledge. School emphasis on students to obtain their own life experience, believed to be bound by the rigid education system, children can not get enough experience. Dalton schools to encourage students themselves to face and solve problems, students learn how to solve their life problems, but also to the plight of a friend to make recommendations.
However, the students Pakaste does not advocate laissez-faire freedom. Dalton school students are free to pursue their hobbies, but in the end, students must complete an academic teacher layout tasks, and task cards to the students at each stage of the process of progress. Meanwhile, the Dalton school curriculum retains the authority, the basic disciplines issue directly placed in front of students and pointed out that the standards should be achieved. Students can use their own way of thinking and speed to solve the problem.

Dalton School was founded in the early 20th century, but Dr. Richard Dalton school education philosophy will remain the basis for the 21st Century School. Today’s world and there are many similarities between the early 20th century, when faced with rapid changes caused by industrialization, are now facing is a computer network represented by the information age, people can not predict the future, to be engaged in the work of students, set complete subject knowledge to educate the students have been outdated. Today’s students will be addressed in life is that they now can not imagine the problem, and may have never seen their new career. Therefore, schools should teach students to think about the habit as well as research and investigation skills to enable them to live independently at the same time teach them to create independent, self-discipline and self-confidence, enabling them to become fearless pioneer the future world.
