问题     Dubbed Brainology, the unorthodox approach uses basic neuroscience to teach kids how the brain works and how it can continue to develop throughout life. The message is that everything is within the kids’ control, that their intelligence is malleable.
    Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and rigid separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids. Some educators say it’s important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurricular activities. "The crux of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions," says Michael Nakkula, a Harvard education professor who runs a Boston-area mentoring program called Project IF (Inventing the Future), which works to get low-income underachievers in touch with their aspirations. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to tell them the notion that classwork is irrelevant is not true, to show them how doing well at school can actually help them fulfill their dreams beyond it. Like any ambitious toddler, they need to understand that they have to learn to walk before they can run.

选项

答案 被称为Brainology,非正统的方法使用基本的神经系统科学来教孩子们如何用脑思考并如何一生继续发展。传达的信息是每件事都在孩子的控制中,他们的智力是可以锻造的。 一些专家说我们的教育体制,非常强调考试,把学生能力的不同层面严格区分开,在一些孩子中没了动力还会受责备。一些教育者说让孩子通过义务工作、运动、业余爱好和其他的业余活动多接触家庭作业和考试外的世界是很重要的。指导一个波士顿区IF(创造未来)项目的美国哈佛大学教育教授迈克尔?纳库拉说:“问题的症结在于许多学生经历的教育和他们生活的目标及雄心根本无关。”IF项目致力于使低收入的后进生能触摸到他们的渴望。 让孩子在学校力争上游的关键是告诉他们课堂作业是不相关的这种观念是错误的,引导他们在学校好好表现是如何实际帮助他们实现他们的梦想。像任何有雄心的刚学走路的孩子一样,他们需要明白在学会跑之前必须先学会走。
