No, no, you’re not thinking; you’re just being logical. | Martin Westwell | TEDxFlindersUniversity

How will we teach in the future? How do we encourage students, to think outside of the box? How do we promote logical and critical thinking? Martin Westwell poses some thought provoking questions and offers some possible solutions.

Martin Westwell is the Strategic Professor in the Science of Learning at Flinders University. He works with schools and systems nationally and internationally to bring an evidence-informed approach to innovation in education, and collaborates intensively with public schools in South Australia. He’s the state department of education’s “Scientist in Residence”, one of the chief investigators in the National Science of Learning Research Centre and in 1999 was named by The Times newspaper as the “Scientist for the New Century.”
