... alumnos que escriben en sus blogs sobre lo que aprenden, los que comparten sus dudas y descubrimientos, los que cuentan lo que piensan, los que reivindican. No estoy hablando de blogs de aula, sino de los que se abren discretamente, sin decir nada a los profesores.
The model that underlies our assessments is called WICS, which is an
acronym for wisdom, intelligence, and creativity, synthesized (Sternberg, 2003).
The basic idea underlying this model is that active and engaged citizenship and
especially leadership require individuals to have
(1) a creative vision for how they intend to make the world a better place,
not just for themselves, but also for their family, friends, colleagues, and
others;
(2) the analytical intellectual skills to be able to explain why their
vision, and that of others, is a good one;
(3) the practical intellectual skills to be able to execute their vision
and persuade others of its value; and
(4) the wisdom to ensure that their ideas represent a common good, not just
their own interests or those of their friends or family. Can we apply this model
to assessments that can be used in schools? We have done a variety of projects
suggesting that we can.
