Thai Education is not broken | Pearl Phaovisaid | TEDxThammasatU
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 тра 2016
- After several years of teaching, coaching, and educating young minds, Pearl has come to realize a misconception of Thai education that it is not broken as many thinks. Rather than fixing Thai education, she, in this talk, intrigues a question "What society do we want to become?"
หลังจากทุ่มเทเวลาหลายปีเพื่ออุทิศตนให้กับการสอน การฝึกฝน และให้การศึกษากับคนรุ่นใหม่ เพรินตระหนักได้ว่าสังคมมีความเข้าใจผิดเกี่ยวกับการศึกษาไทยอย่างมากว่าเป็นสิ่งที่ยังไม่ดีพอและสมควรถูกแก้ไขเปลี่ยนแปลงให้ดีขึ้น แต่การมุ่งแก้ไขการศึกษาในปัจจุบันนั้นดำเนินมาถูกทิศทางหรือไม่? ในทอล์คนี้เธอได้ตั้งคำถามฉุกคิดแก่สังคมว่าแทนที่จะมุ่งแต่แก้ไขสิ่งที่เราเชื่อว่าไม่ดี เราเคยถามตัวเองหรือยังว่าเราต้องการอยู่ในสังคมแบบใด?
Pearl Phaovisaid is a former helicopter pilot in The US army, currently a director and an instructor of Global Studies and Social Entrepreneurship Program (GSSE), Thammasat University. She has dedicated her life to contribute change makers and leaders for the 21th century throughout her career path. She strongly believes that those change makers and leaders can solve the problems that may not be solved in her lifetime and can make the world a better place.

I hate Thai education because when you want to ask, your teacher say "you don't listen me? Why do you don't understand what I said 😔? And when I failed the test
Parents will send me to academy 5to7 p.m everyday. Weekend I don't have free time! I read books and do my homework.
Some week have 4 subjects to test 😱
Likes Chemistry/Biology/Math/Thai etc.
Who good at math or science parents can do everything to help you to be a doctor.I want change Thai education to international. Everyone can learn what you want. And develop to professional.
100% agree. It is not broken, it is producing exactly what it was designed to produce. And the product is... well.
Of course, if you want better products, you must upgrade the production line.
I believe this is her point, if I understood right.
My parents paid $20,000 for an American education in Bangkok. Thai education FAILED.
As a Thai teenager I think it's a better way to send their child to study at international school more than normal school in Thailand.
One simple solution to this issue. GET RID OF 'NO FAIL POLICY'!
She doesn't know Thai educational well enought!
ikr !
I'm sure she's not precisely talking about how Thai education is still doing fine and therefore persuades you to embrace it instead if that's what you mean by her having insufficient knowledge of Thai education, as you may have rather agreed that it IS actually broken. The point is not that. She is actually persuading us to, instead of looking at the existing system in linear way by falling into the loop of identifying problems and fix it. It is not broken because the system has served well what it was built to serve. The point is, if one day we wanted to make changes, you don't fix as it won't create something new, you REDESIGN it to serve your new purpose. Understand?
Why do you think they had invented mobile phone and had not preferred to go fix postboxes?
The analogy with cassette recorders is the -best- only good part of this talk.
School, like cassette recorders are outdated! Who uses them nowadays??
Same for CD players: why buy CDs if you can find the music you like on the Internet??
Same for school: why go to school if you can find all the knowledge you need on the Internet??
Why have your house built by builders when you can find all you need online?
Thoughtful and quietly radical, in a way most comments below do not realise. Watch through to the very last sentence.
A very good speech about innovation and design that no one seems to understand.
excellent talk - great analogy!
I get lost in the middle of the talk. I cannot get a point of why we should have this discussion. Thai Education is not broken, and then what? What will be the effect of if we think this way or another way?
exactly, it seems like this discussion is leading to nowhere.
What she said is based on her opinion, not a clear evidence. She is a former helicopter pilot in the US and is a director of an educational program in one of the most famous universities in Thailand. This is clear to me that she must have a very good opportunity for her education. On the other hand, the majority of Thai people don't have that. They are poor and struggling to live their lives. Most schools provided to them are under standard. I have lived in a small village far away from big cities. I've seen them all with my own eyes.
It does not need to be fix. It need to be thrown out. The system and methods might have worked in the past BUT not in the present nor will it work in the future!! If you drive a broken vehicle, not only will it get you to the destination slower, it could even cause accidents which takes life! The older version needed more resource (oil) as the old systems need more money to spend on useless items. You have people who runs at the top of education who has never taught in a classroom and head of school only require a minimum of 1 year of experience! (I've read the Thai's education regulation and that was one of the requirements. As long as you have a Master degree and a year of teaching, you can even open your own school and run as head master/mistress etc.!)
Having clear goal is meaningless if you don't have a solid foundation. You can see a castle in the sky, but you do not see what you are standing on or try to understand what you have to develop/build/recreate or fix, in order to reach that castle in the sky!!
She said "What kind of society we should become", well it's obvious that Thailand is a nation culturally obsessed with the hierarchy of things, so those that control the economic and social power of the system should be asked "when will you start letting people determine their own lives without you constantly interfering them"
Good analogy to the walkman. The Thai education is just like that. The educator just add more cassette tapes to the curriculum.
How to say little with a lot of words... TEDx can tell...
real basic. in the USA, in every town, there are places everyone is quite familiar with, at least knows the location for sure..... for sure. hospital, airport if they have one, police station.... and the library, maybe the local neighborhood one and of course the main branch library. usually quite prominently located, for a reason too. yes, even in the age of Kindles. in Thailand... in Chiangmai for instance... a not too small town... yup to hospitals, airport, police stations.. libraries? at CMU?? but a "library library"? hmmm dunno... well then how about bookstores.. B2B that's a big store.. at Robinsons.. yup.. you might even occasionally see someone purchasing.... some coloring pencils.... maybe some expensive cough drops........ but a bunch of books?.........one book????
A shockingly poor presentation and analysis...
Im not sure what was said, how does its not broken relate to how you feel?
Not yet. This world could be a better place if people were able to reach quality education equally. Even though it is not broken doesn't mean it is fine. It's just not good enough no matter what. So stop whining and improve it. Therefore, the rest of our descendants wouldn't be this much suffer.
you haven't understood her point or you haven't watched 'till the end
@@RobotFX she is from rich family, not understand what she talks about, done few research, and then state it as fact...
you are foreigner probably, so your opinion even less accurate than the spoiled girl from video
not like she had to earn with own hands for her education in Us... it was all given to her... spoiled.. if she had to earn it all herself, she would have been working 20 years with the small Thai salaries and wouldn't be the student age but 35yo+ ... and obviously she wouldn't bother try so hard if she haven't been given all this money for free from parents. money gives opportunities .. try hard without money, then achieve a lot.. then Ted talk, else don't.
Is she talking about public or private schools in Thailand..
both are bad,only some international schools in Thailand are good
Look at the Thai polytechnic students who'd prepare and phone their whole army to slam-dunk you if you look at them in a "wrong way" around the streets.
what? not broken? omg. good rhetoric but empty evidence
agree. most of the commentators didn't even watch the video, they only read the title and started arguing like idiots.
I could bet that some of them are farang English teachers.

She maybe right... maybe it's not broken but only outdated. It worked in the past but not working properly anymore.
*_P R A N K ' D_*
We always blame prime minster for every problem that happened in Thailand so if you have problem with education just blame the prime minister.

OMG! please research more
Struggling to make sense of her talk. Full of empty rhetoric and irrelevant connotation.
Half way through the talk I couldn't even figure it out what her argumentative statement is.
Research more on history of Thai public education and its interconnection with the construction of modern nation state please.
เล็กน้อยแต่ยิ่งใหญ่
reminds me of Donald Trump
