00:17
Well, that's kind of an obvious statement up there.
0
2000
2000
上面的這些話，是大家都知道的
00:19
I started with that sentence about 12 years ago,
1
4000
3000
12年前，我從這句話開始，
00:22
and I started in the context
2
7000
3000
從開發中國家
00:25
of developing countries,
3
10000
2000
的環境開始
00:27
but you're sitting here from every corner of the world.
4
12000
3000
但是在座的各位，是從全世界各地來的
00:30
So if you think of a map of your country,
5
15000
3000
你們如果想像一下自己國家的地圖
00:33
I think you'll realize
6
18000
2000
你會發現
00:35
that for every country on Earth,
7
20000
2000
對每一個國家而言，
00:37
you could draw little circles to say,
8
22000
2000
你都可以畫出些小圈圈，說:
00:39
"These are places where good teachers won't go."
9
24000
3000
"這些是好老師不願意去的地方"
00:43
On top of that,
10
28000
2000
而且
00:45
those are the places from where trouble comes.
11
30000
3000
這些都是出現問題的地方
00:48
So we have an ironic problem --
12
33000
2000
這是個有點諷刺意味的問題
00:50
good teachers don't want to go
13
35000
2000
好老師不願意去
00:52
to just those places where they're needed the most.
14
37000
3000
那些最需要他們的地方
00:55
I started in 1999
15
40000
3000
我從1999年開始
00:58
to try and address this problem with an experiment,
16
43000
3000
針對這個問題做實驗
01:01
which was a very simple experiment in New Delhi.
17
46000
3000
這是個在新德里的很簡單的實驗
01:06
I basically embedded a computer
18
51000
3000
我基本上把一部電腦嵌進
01:09
into a wall of a slum in New Delhi.
19
54000
3000
一座位於新德里貧民窟的圍牆裡面
01:13
The children barely went to school, they didn't know any English --
20
58000
3000
那裡的孩子幾乎不上學。也完全不懂英文
01:16
they'd never seen a computer before,
21
61000
2000
他們從沒有看過電腦
01:18
and they didn't know what the internet was.
22
63000
3000
也不知道網際網路是什麼
01:21
I connected high speed internet to it -- it's about three feet off the ground --
23
66000
3000
我給這部電腦連上高速網路 - 電腦嵌在約一公尺高的牆面上
01:24
turned it on and left it there.
24
69000
2000
把電腦打開，然後就留在那裡
01:26
After this,
25
71000
2000
之後
01:28
we noticed a couple of interesting things, which you'll see.
26
73000
3000
我們注意到幾件有趣的事情，等一下你們也會看到
01:31
But I repeated this all over India
27
76000
3000
但我在全印度重複做這件事
01:34
and then through
28
79000
2000
也到
01:36
a large part of the world
29
81000
2000
世界的很多地方做同樣的實驗
01:38
and noticed
30
83000
2000
我注意到
01:40
that children will learn to do
31
85000
2000
孩子們會學著做
01:42
what they want to learn to do.
32
87000
3000
他們自己想學的東西
01:45
This is the first experiment that we did --
33
90000
2000
這是我們做的第一個實驗 -
01:47
eight year-old boy on your right
34
92000
2000
右手邊的八歲男孩
01:49
teaching his student, a six year-old girl,
35
94000
3000
正在教他的學生 - 一個六歲的小女孩
01:52
and he was teaching her how to browse.
36
97000
3000
他在教她如何上網
01:56
This boy here in the middle of central India --
37
101000
3000
這個孩子是在印度中部的
02:00
this is in a Rajasthan village,
38
105000
2000
這裡是一個拉加斯坦村落
02:02
where the children recorded their own music
39
107000
3000
在這裡，孩子們錄自己的音樂
02:05
and then played it back to each other
40
110000
3000
然後放給彼此聽
02:08
and in the process,
41
113000
2000
在這過程中
02:10
they've enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
42
115000
2000
他們完全陶醉其中
02:12
They did all of this in four hours
43
117000
2000
在第一次接觸電腦之後的
02:14
after seeing the computer for the first time.
44
119000
3000
4小時之內，他們完成這些作品
02:17
In another South Indian village,
45
122000
3000
在另一個南印度村落
02:20
these boys here
46
125000
2000
這些男孩子
02:22
had assembled a video camera
47
127000
2000
自己組了一個錄影機
02:24
and were trying to take the photograph of a bumble bee.
48
129000
2000
然後試著替一隻大黃蜂拍照
02:26
They downloaded it from Disney.com,
49
131000
2000
他們從迪士尼或類似的網站
02:28
or one of these websites,
50
133000
2000
下載程式
02:30
14 days after putting the computer in their village.
51
135000
3000
這是把電腦放在這裡14天之後完成的。
02:36
So at the end of it,
52
141000
2000
最後
02:38
we concluded that groups of children
53
143000
2000
我們的結論是：孩子們
02:40
can learn to use computers and the internet on their own,
54
145000
3000
可以自己學會用電腦和網際網路
02:43
irrespective of who
55
148000
2000
不論他們是誰
02:45
or where they were.
56
150000
3000
或住在哪裡
02:48
At that point, I became a little more ambitious
57
153000
3000
這時候，我開始有大一點的野心
02:51
and decided to see
58
156000
3000
決定去看看
02:54
what else could children do with a computer.
59
159000
3000
孩子可以用電腦做哪些其他的事
02:57
We started off with an experiment in Hyderabad, India,
60
162000
3000
我們從印度海得拉巴的實驗開始
03:00
where I gave a group of children --
61
165000
3000
在那裡，我給一群孩子--
03:03
they spoke English with a very strong Telugu accent.
62
168000
3000
他們講的英文有很重的泰盧固口音
03:06
I gave them a computer
63
171000
2000
我給他們一部電腦
03:08
with a speech-to-text interface,
64
173000
2000
附上語音辨識的介面
03:10
which you now get free with Windows,
65
175000
3000
現在，在Windows上就有免費的語音輸入
03:13
and asked them to speak into it.
66
178000
2000
我要他們對電腦說話
03:15
So when they spoke into it,
67
180000
2000
當他們對電腦說話時
03:17
the computer typed out gibberish,
68
182000
2000
電腦顯示的是亂七八糟的字
03:19
so they said, "Well, it doesn't understand anything of what we are saying."
69
184000
2000
他們說："電腦完全聽不懂我們說的話"
03:21
So I said, "Yeah, I'll leave it here for two months.
70
186000
2000
我說："對阿，我把電腦留在這裡兩個月，
03:23
Make yourself understood
71
188000
2000
你們要讓電腦
03:25
to the computer."
72
190000
2000
聽懂你們說的話"
03:27
So the children said, "How do we do that."
73
192000
2000
孩子說："這怎麼辦得到?"
03:29
And I said,
74
194000
2000
我說
03:31
"I don't know, actually."
75
196000
2000
"我也不知道"
03:33
(Laughter)
76
198000
2000
(笑聲)
03:35
And I left.
77
200000
2000
我就走了
03:37
(Laughter)
78
202000
2000
(笑聲)
03:40
Two months later --
79
205000
2000
兩個月之後
03:42
and this is now documented
80
207000
2000
這個實驗紀錄在
03:44
in the Information Technology
81
209000
2000
資訊技術
03:46
for International Development journal --
82
211000
2000
促進國際發展雜誌上
03:48
that accents had changed
83
213000
2000
口音改掉了
03:50
and were remarkably close to the neutral British accent
84
215000
3000
改成非常接近中性英式英語的口音
03:53
in which I had trained the speech-to-text synthesizer.
85
218000
3000
這就是我設的語音輸入合成器的口音
03:56
In other words, they were all speaking like James Tooley.
86
221000
3000
換句話說，他們講得像英國教育家詹姆士托利一樣
03:59
(Laughter)
87
224000
2000
(笑聲)
04:01
So they could do that on their own.
88
226000
2000
所以，證明他們可以自己學會
04:03
After that, I started to experiment
89
228000
2000
之後，我開始實驗
04:05
with various other things
90
230000
2000
各種不同的知識
04:07
that they might learn to do on their own.
91
232000
2000
看看他們是不是可以自己學會
04:09
I got an interesting phone call once from Columbo,
92
234000
3000
我接到一通從可倫波打來的電話
04:12
from the late Arthur C. Clarke,
93
237000
2000
是已故的亞瑟·克拉克爵士打來的
04:14
who said, "I want to see what's going on."
94
239000
2000
他說："我想聽聽你在做什麼"
04:16
And he couldn't travel, so I went over there.
95
241000
3000
因為他不能長途旅行，所以我就去找他
04:19
He said two interesting things,
96
244000
2000
他說了兩件有趣的事：
04:21
"A teacher that can be replaced by a machine should be."
97
246000
5000
"如果機器可以取代老師的話，就應該取代"
04:26
(Laughter)
98
251000
2000
(笑聲)
04:28
The second thing he said was that,
99
253000
2000
他說的第二件事是：
04:30
"If children have interest,
100
255000
2000
"當孩子們有興趣
04:32
then education happens."
101
257000
3000
教育就會出現"
04:35
And I was doing that in the field,
102
260000
2000
我就是在外面做這樣的教育
04:37
so every time I would watch it and think of him.
103
262000
2000
所以每次我看到這些，我就想起他
04:39
(Video) Arthur C. Clarke: And they can definitely
104
264000
3000
(影像)亞瑟·克拉克說："這些絕對可以
04:42
help people,
105
267000
2000
幫助人
04:44
because children quickly learn to navigate
106
269000
2000
因為孩子們很快就學會搜尋
04:46
the web and find things which interest them.
107
271000
3000
然後到裡面找有趣的東西。
04:49
And when you've got interest, then you have education.
108
274000
3000
當有了興趣，教育就自然產生"
04:52
Sugata Mitra: I took the experiment to South Africa.
109
277000
3000
我把這個實驗帶到南非去
04:55
This is a 15 year-old boy.
110
280000
2000
這是個15歲的男孩
04:57
(Video) Boy: ... just mention, I play games
111
282000
3000
(影像)男孩說: ...我玩遊戲
05:00
like animals,
112
285000
3000
像動物遊戲
05:03
and I listen to music.
113
288000
3000
我也聽音樂
05:06
SM: And I asked him, "Do you send emails?"
114
291000
2000
SM:我問他，"你會用電子郵件嗎?"
05:08
And he said, "Yes, and they hop across the ocean."
115
293000
3000
他說，"會啊，電子郵件一路跳過海洋"
05:12
This is in Cambodia,
116
297000
2000
這是在柬埔寨
05:14
rural Cambodia --
117
299000
3000
柬埔寨的郊區
05:17
a fairly silly arithmetic game,
118
302000
3000
這是個很呆的算術遊戲
05:20
which no child would play inside the classroom or at home.
119
305000
2000
孩子在教室或在家裡都不願意玩
05:22
They would, you know, throw it back at you.
120
307000
2000
他們會丟回給你
05:24
They'd say, "This is very boring."
121
309000
2000
說："這很無聊"
05:26
If you leave it on the pavement
122
311000
2000
如果你把這遊戲放在走道上
05:28
and if all the adults go away,
123
313000
2000
當大人都走開了
05:30
then they will show off with each other
124
315000
2000
他們就會彼此炫耀
05:32
about what they can do.
125
317000
2000
他們會答的題目
05:34
This is what these children are doing.
126
319000
2000
這就是孩子們正在做的..
05:36
They are trying to multiply, I think.
127
321000
3000
據我所知，他們正試著做乘法
05:39
And all over India,
128
324000
2000
全印度
05:41
at the end of about two years,
129
326000
2000
在兩年之後
05:43
children were beginning to Google their homework.
130
328000
3000
孩子們開始上網找家庭作業的答案
05:46
As a result, the teachers reported
131
331000
2000
結果，老師說
05:48
tremendous improvements in their English --
132
333000
2000
他們的英文進步神速
05:50
(Laughter)
133
335000
4000
(笑聲)
05:54
rapid improvement and all sorts of things.
134
339000
2000
在每一個方面都進步神速
05:56
They said, "They have become really deep thinkers and so on and so forth.
135
341000
3000
老師說:"他們變成深度的思想家"之類的
05:59
(Laughter)
136
344000
3000
(笑聲)
06:02
And indeed they had.
137
347000
2000
實際上也是真的
06:04
I mean, if there's stuff on Google,
138
349000
2000
我是說，如果在谷歌搜尋引擎上有答案
06:06
why would you need to stuff it into your head?
139
351000
3000
幹麻還要把答案東西塞在腦子裡?
06:10
So at the end of the next four years,
140
355000
2000
所以四年之後
06:12
I decided that groups of children can navigate the internet
141
357000
3000
我下了結論：成群的孩子可以一起上網搜尋
06:15
to achieve educational objectives on their own.
142
360000
3000
以這樣的自我學習，達成教育的目標。
06:18
At that time, a large amount of money
143
363000
2000
當時，有很多經費
06:20
had come into Newcastle University
144
365000
2000
給纽卡斯爾大學
06:22
to improve schooling in India.
145
367000
3000
來改進印度的教學
06:25
So Newcastle gave me a call. I said, "I'll do it from Delhi."
146
370000
3000
所以纽卡斯爾大學就打電話給我。我說："我在新德里這裡執行"
06:28
They said, "There's no way you're going to handle
147
373000
2000
他們說:"你不可能坐在新德里
06:30
a million pounds-worth of University money
148
375000
3000
來管理價值一百萬英鎊的
06:33
sitting in Delhi."
149
378000
2000
學校經費"
06:35
So in 2006,
150
380000
2000
所以，2006年
06:37
I bought myself a heavy overcoat
151
382000
2000
我買了一件很厚重的大衣
06:39
and moved to Newcastle.
152
384000
2000
搬到紐卡素去工作
06:42
I wanted to test the limits
153
387000
2000
我要試試看這個系統的
06:44
of the system.
154
389000
2000
極限在哪裡
06:46
The first experiment I did out of Newcastle
155
391000
2000
我到紐卡素做的第一個實驗，
06:48
was actually done in India.
156
393000
2000
發生在印度
06:50
And I set myself and impossible target:
157
395000
3000
我給自己一個不可能的目標:
06:53
can Tamil speaking
158
398000
3000
講泰米語的
06:56
12-year-old children
159
401000
2000
住在印度南部村落的
06:58
in a South Indian village
160
403000
3000
12歲孩子們
07:01
teach themselves biotechnology
161
406000
2000
可能用英文自學
07:03
in English on their own?
162
408000
2000
生物科技嗎?
07:05
And I thought, I'll test them, they'll get a zero --
163
410000
3000
我想："我給他們測驗，他們會得0分，
07:08
I'll give the materials, I'll come back and test them --
164
413000
2000
然後我給們素材，再回來測一次，
07:10
they get another zero,
165
415000
2000
他們會再得0分
07:12
I'll go back and say, "Yes, we need teachers for certain things."
166
417000
4000
然後我就回去說："在某些領域，還是需要老師教才行"
07:16
I called in 26 children.
167
421000
2000
我找了26個學生
07:18
They all came in there, and I told them
168
423000
2000
他們都進到教室裡，我對他們說
07:20
that there's some really difficult stuff on this computer.
169
425000
2000
在電腦裡，有個很難的東西
07:22
I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't understand anything.
170
427000
3000
你們如果不懂，我也不會很驚訝
07:25
It's all in English, and I'm going.
171
430000
3000
全部是英文的。而且，我要走了。
07:28
(Laughter)
172
433000
2000
(笑聲)
07:30
So I left them with it.
173
435000
2000
我就讓他們自己弄清楚
07:32
I came back after two months,
174
437000
2000
兩個月之後，我回來
07:34
and the 26 children marched in looking very, very quiet.
175
439000
2000
那26個學生進來時，看起來非常安靜
07:36
I said, "Well, did you look at any of the stuff?"
176
441000
3000
我說:"你們讀過那篇文章了嗎?"
07:39
They said, "Yes, we did."
177
444000
2000
他們說:"讀了"
07:41
"Did you understand anything?" "No, nothing."
178
446000
3000
"你們學到什麼?" "什麼也沒學到"
07:44
So I said,
179
449000
2000
我說，
07:46
"Well, how long did you practice on it
180
451000
2000
"你們學習了多久之後，
07:48
before you decided you understood nothing?"
181
453000
2000
才確定你們什麼都沒學到?"
07:50
They said, "We look at it every day."
182
455000
3000
他們說:"我們每天都在看"
07:53
So I said, "For two months, you were looking at stuff you didn't understand?"
183
458000
2000
我說:"你們每天看這個搞不懂的東西，足足兩個月嗎?"
07:55
So a 12 year-old girl raises her hand and says,
184
460000
2000
一個12歲的女孩舉手說：
07:57
literally,
185
462000
2000
她這麼說
08:00
"Apart from the fact that improper replication of the DNA molecule
186
465000
3000
"除了知道DNA分子不正常的複製
08:03
causes genetic disease,
187
468000
2000
會造成基因上的疾病之外
08:05
we've understood nothing else."
188
470000
2000
我們沒有學到任何其他東西"
08:07
(Laughter)
189
472000
2000
(笑聲)
08:09
(Applause)
190
474000
7000
(掌聲)
08:16
(Laughter)
191
481000
3000
(笑聲)
08:19
It took me three years to publish that.
192
484000
2000
我花了三年才出版這篇論文
08:21
It's just been published in the British Journal of Educational Technology.
193
486000
3000
這論文剛剛在英國教育技術期刊上刊出
08:24
One of the referees who refereed the paper said,
194
489000
3000
其中一位評審寫：
08:27
"It's too good to be true,"
195
492000
3000
"好得令人難以置信"
08:30
which was not very nice.
196
495000
2000
這評語其實不太好
08:32
Well, one of the girls had taught herself
197
497000
2000
其中一個女孩子，
08:34
to become the teacher.
198
499000
2000
自學成為大家的老師
08:36
And then that's her over there.
199
501000
2000
畫面上的就是她
08:46
Remember, they don't study English.
200
511000
2000
大家記得，他們不懂英文
09:01
I edited out the last bit when I asked, "Where is the neuron?"
201
526000
3000
我剪掉最後的一小段。當時我問："神經元在哪裡?"
09:04
and she says, "The neuron? The neuron,"
202
529000
2000
她說，"神經元?神經元?"
09:06
and then she looked and did this.
203
531000
3000
然後她看著我，做這個動作
09:09
Whatever the expression, it was not very nice.
204
534000
3000
不管表情如何，都不太好看。
09:12
So their scores had gone up from zero to 30 percent,
205
537000
3000
他們的分數也從0分，提升到30分
09:15
which is an educational impossibility under the circumstances.
206
540000
3000
在這種環境下，已經是教育不可能做到的了!
09:18
But 30 percent is not a pass.
207
543000
3000
但是30分不及格
09:21
So I found that they had a friend,
208
546000
2000
後來，我發現他們有個朋友
09:23
a local accountant, a young girl,
209
548000
2000
是當地的會計師，一個年輕女生
09:25
and they played football with her.
210
550000
2000
他們和她一起玩足球
09:27
I asked that girl, "Would you teach them
211
552000
2000
我邀請那個女生，"妳教他們生物科技
09:29
enough biotechnology to pass?"
212
554000
2000
讓他們通過考試，好嗎?"
09:31
And she said, "How would I do that? I don't know the subject."
213
556000
2000
她說:"我怎麼會?我對這個學門不了解啊!"
09:33
I said, "No, use the method of the grandmother."
214
558000
2000
我說:"不必了解。只要用奶奶的方法就好了"
09:35
She said, "What's that?"
215
560000
2000
她說："那是什麼方法?"
09:37
I said, "Well, what you've got to do
216
562000
2000
我說:"妳只要
09:39
is stand behind them
217
564000
2000
站在後面
09:41
and admire them all the time.
218
566000
3000
一直讚美他們
09:44
Just say to them, 'That's cool. That's fantastic.
219
569000
2000
跟他們說:好棒啊，好厲害喔
09:46
What is that? Can you do that again? Can you show me some more?'"
220
571000
3000
那是什麼呢?你可以再做一次嗎?再多給我看幾招，好嗎?"
09:49
She did that for two months.
221
574000
2000
她就這樣做了2個月
09:51
The scores went up to 50,
222
576000
2000
分數提昇到50分
09:53
which is what the posh schools of New Delhi,
223
578000
2000
這分數是在新德里的高級學校
09:55
with a trained biotechnology teacher were getting.
224
580000
3000
有專業生物科技老師教導的學生的分數
09:58
So I came back to Newcastle
225
583000
2000
所以我回到紐卡素
10:00
with these results
226
585000
2000
帶著這些結果
10:02
and decided
227
587000
2000
我確定
10:04
that there was something happening here
228
589000
2000
這些現象
10:06
that definitely was getting very serious.
229
591000
3000
是很嚴肅的
10:10
So, having experimented in all sorts of remote places,
230
595000
3000
所以，在對偏遠地去做了這麼多實驗之後
10:13
I came to the most remote place that I could think of.
231
598000
3000
我到了全世界最偏遠的地方
10:16
(Laughter)
232
601000
2000
(笑聲)
10:19
Approximately 5,000 miles from Delhi
233
604000
3000
距離德里5000英哩遠
10:22
is the little town of Gateshead.
234
607000
2000
就是英國小鎮蓋茨黑德
10:24
In Gateshead, I took 32 children
235
609000
3000
在蓋茨黑德，我找了32個學生
10:27
and I started to fine-tune the method.
236
612000
3000
開始微調我用過的方法
10:30
I made them into groups of four.
237
615000
3000
我讓他們成為4人一組
10:33
I said, "You make your own groups of four.
238
618000
2000
我說："你們自己組成4人一組
10:35
Each group of four can use one computer and not four computers."
239
620000
3000
每4個人一組可以用1部電腦，而不是4部"
10:38
Remember, from the Hole in the Wall.
240
623000
3000
這是從"牆上的洞"來的經驗
10:41
"You can exchange groups.
241
626000
2000
"你可以換組
10:43
You can walk across to another group,
242
628000
2000
你可以到別的組去
10:45
if you don't like your group, etc.
243
630000
2000
如果你不喜歡自己這一組的話
10:47
You can go to another group, peer over their shoulders, see what they're doing,
244
632000
3000
你可以去別組，偷看，看他們在幹什麼
10:50
come back to you own group and claim it as your own work."
245
635000
3000
回來之後跟你的組員說，這是你自己的想法"
10:53
And I explained to them
246
638000
2000
我跟他們解釋說，
10:55
that, you know, a lot of scientific research is done using that method.
247
640000
3000
很多科學研究，都是用這種方法做出來的
10:58
(Laughter)
248
643000
2000
(笑聲)
11:00
(Applause)
249
645000
5000
(掌聲)
11:07
The children enthusiastically got after me and said,
250
652000
2000
那些孩子很急切的追著我問說:
11:09
"Now, what do you want us to do?"
251
654000
2000
"你要我們做什麼?"
11:11
I gave them six GCSE questions.
252
656000
3000
我給他們6個英國中等教育普通證明考試(GCSE)的題目
11:14
The first group -- the best one --
253
659000
2000
第一組，最好的那組
11:16
solved everything in 20 minutes.
254
661000
2000
在20分鐘之內解完所有題目
11:18
The worst, in 45.
255
663000
3000
最差的也在45分鐘之內解完題目
11:21
They used everything that they knew --
256
666000
2000
他們用了所有資源
11:23
news groups, Google, Wikipedia,
257
668000
2000
新聞、谷歌搜尋、維基百科
11:25
Ask Jeeves, etc.
258
670000
2000
AskJeeves(各種問題的解答網站)等
11:27
The teachers said, "Is this deep learning?"
259
672000
3000
老師說:"這樣有深度學習嗎?"
11:30
I said, "Well, let's try it.
260
675000
2000
我說:"試試看囉
11:32
I'll come back after two months.
261
677000
2000
2個月後我再回來
11:34
We'll give them a paper test --
262
679000
2000
我們給他們紙上的測驗 --
11:36
no computers, no talking to each other, etc."
263
681000
2000
不能用電腦、也不能互相交談等等，看結果如何"
11:38
The average score when I'd done it with the computers and the groups
264
683000
2000
用小組討論和電腦時，平均分數是
11:40
was 76 percent.
265
685000
2000
76分
11:42
When I did the experiment, when I did the test,
266
687000
2000
2個月之後，我再回來
11:44
after two months, the score
267
689000
3000
做測驗，分數是
11:47
was 76 percent.
268
692000
3000
76分
11:50
There was photographic recall
269
695000
2000
這些孩子像拍照一樣，
11:52
inside the children,
270
697000
2000
記得所有學過的東西。
11:54
I suspect because they're discussing with each other.
271
699000
3000
我猜想，這是因為他們彼此討論，所以記得。
11:57
A single child in front of a single computer
272
702000
2000
因為，單獨一個孩子坐在電腦前
11:59
will not do that.
273
704000
2000
是不可能記得所有東西的。
12:01
I have further results,
274
706000
2000
我還有進一步的結果
12:03
which are almost unbelievable,
275
708000
2000
幾乎是難以置信的結果
12:05
of scores which go up with time.
276
710000
2000
就是考試分數繼續往上提升
12:07
Because their teachers say
277
712000
2000
因為老師說，他們
12:09
that after the session is over,
278
714000
2000
課程結束之後
12:11
the children continue to Google further.
279
716000
3000
這些孩子繼續在網路上找答案
12:14
Here in Britain, I put out a call
280
719000
2000
在英國，我送出一個需求
12:16
for British grandmothers,
281
721000
2000
號召英國奶奶們
12:18
after my Kuppam experiment.
282
723000
2000
經過我的實驗之後，
12:20
Well, you know,
283
725000
2000
喔，大家都知道
12:22
they're very vigorous people, British grandmothers.
284
727000
2000
英國奶奶是很有活力的一群
12:24
200 of them volunteered immediately.
285
729000
2000
馬上有200位自願者
12:26
(Laughter)
286
731000
2000
(笑聲)
12:28
The deal was that they would give me
287
733000
3000
奶奶們給我
12:31
one hour of broadband time,
288
736000
2000
一個小時的寬頻上網時間
12:33
sitting in their homes,
289
738000
2000
坐在自己家裡
12:35
one day in a week.
290
740000
2000
每週只要一天即可
12:37
So they did that,
291
742000
2000
他們就照做
12:39
and over the last two years,
292
744000
2000
過去兩年之間
12:41
over 600 hours of instruction
293
746000
2000
有超過600小時的教導
12:43
has happened over Skype,
294
748000
2000
在Skype上進行
12:45
using what my students call the granny cloud.
295
750000
3000
用的技術，被我的學生稱為"雲端奶奶"
12:48
The granny cloud sits over there.
296
753000
3000
雲端奶奶坐在那裡
12:51
I can beam them to whichever school I want to.
297
756000
3000
我可以把她們發射到任何一所學校去
13:00

13:02
You say it.

767000
3000
你們說一遍
13:05
You can't catch me.
300
770000
3000
你抓不到我"
13:08
Children: You can't catch me.
301

2000
孩子:"我是薑餅人"
13:16
Teacher: Well done. Very good ...
304
781000

老師:"很棒很棒!!"
13:24
SM: Back at Gateshead,

2000
兩個孩子在看TED網路視訊
13:38
They wanted to be footballers before.
310
803000
2000
他們以前想當足球明星

13:51
It's pretty simple stuff.
315
816000
2000
這其實都很簡單
13:53
This is what I'm building now --
316
818000
2000
這是我現在正在做的
13:55
they're called SOLEs: Self Organized Learning Environments.
317
820000
3000
叫做SOLE：自我組織的學習環境
13:58
The furniture is designed
318
823000
2000
這些家具的設計
14:00
so that children can sit in front of big, powerful screens,
319
825000
3000
讓一群小朋友可以圍坐在很強大的電腦螢幕前
14:03
big broadband connections, but in groups.
320
828000
3000
可以寬頻上網，但是要一群小朋友才行
14:06
If they want, they can call the granny cloud.
321
831000
3000
如果他們想的話，可以呼叫雲端奶奶
14:09

畫面上的管理員來自印度
14:13
So how far can we go? One last little bit and I'll stop.
324
838000
3000
我們可以做到什麼程度呢? 再一點點我就結束了。
14:16
I went to Turin in May.
325
841000
3000
我5月去了義大利的都靈
14:20
I sent all the teachers away from my group of 10 year-old students.
326
845000
3000
我把老師支開，讓我單獨和一群10歲孩子在一起
14:24
I speak only English, they speak only Italian,
327
849000
3000
我只會講英文，他們只會講義大利文
14:27
so we had no way to communicate.
328
852000
2000
我們不能溝通
14:29
I started writing English questions on the blackboard.
329
854000
3000
我在黑板上寫英文題目
14:33
The children looked at it and said, "What?"
330
858000
2000
孩子們看著我，說:"什麼啦?"
14:35
I said, "Well, do it."
331
860000
2000
我說："解題阿"
14:37
They typed it into Google, translated it into Italian,
332
862000
3000
他們把問題輸入谷歌搜尋引擎，翻譯成義大利文
14:40
went back into Italian Google.
333
865000
2000
回到義大利文的谷歌搜尋引擎
14:42
Fifteen minutes later --
334
867000
3000
15分鐘之後
14:52
next question: where is Calcutta?
335
877000
3000
下一個問題：加爾各答在哪裡?
14:57
This one, they took only 10 minutes.
336
882000
3000
這個只花了10分鐘就答對了
15:04
I tried a really hard one then.
337
889000
3000
我又試了一題很難的
15:07
Who was Pythagoras, and what did he do?
338
892000
3000
畢達格拉斯是誰? 他做過什麼事情?
15:12
There was silence for a while,
339
897000
2000
剛開始，一度沉默
15:14
then they said, "You've spelled it wrong.
340
899000
2000
然後他們說："你寫錯了啦!"
15:16
It's Pitagora."
341
901000
3000
"應該是畢達哥拉斯啦"
15:23
And then,
342
908000
2000
然後
15:25
in 20 minutes,
343
910000
2000
在20分鐘之內
15:27
the right-angled triangles began to appear on the screens.
344
912000
2000
直角三角形的圖像，出現在螢幕上
15:29
This sent shivers up my spine.
345
914000
3000
這讓我脊椎發麻
15:32
These are 10 year-olds.
346
917000
2000
他們才10 歲
15:47
Text: In another 30 minutes they would reach the Theory of Relativity. And then?
347
932000
3000
文字: 再過30分鐘，他們可能查到相對論。然後呢?
15:50
(Laughter)
348
935000
2000
(笑聲)
15:52
(Applause)
349
937000
9000
(掌聲)
16:01
SM: So you know what's happened?
350
946000
2000
SM: 到底發生了什麼事呢?
16:03
I think we've just stumbled across
351
948000
2000
我想，我們正歪歪倒倒的
16:05
a self-organizing system.
352
950000
2000
走過了一個自我組織的系統
16:07
A self-organizing system is one
353
952000
2000
自我組織的系統是
16:09
where a structure appears
354
954000
2000
一個在沒有外界干擾的時候
16:11
without explicit intervention from the outside.
355
956000
3000
出現的完整架構。
16:14
Self-organizing systems also always show emergence,
356
959000
3000
自我組織的系統同時也顯示出一種演進，
16:17
which is that the system starts to do things,
357
962000
2000
這演進，就是系統開始用前所未有的方式
16:19
which it was never designed for.
358
964000
2000
來完成它的工作。
16:21
Which is why you react the way you do,
359
966000
2000
這就是你你有這些反應背後的原因
16:23
because it looks impossible.
360
968000
3000
因為乍看之下，這些演進是不可能的。
16:26
I think I can make a guess now --
361
971000
3000
我想我可以猜測：
16:29
education is self-organizing system,
362
974000
2000
教育是個自我組織的系統
16:31
where learning is an emergent phenomenon.
363
976000
2000
在教育系統裡，學習是一個漸進的現象
16:33
It'll take a few years to prove it, experimentally,
364
978000
2000
得花好幾年去實驗改進，
16:35
but I'm going to try.
365
980000
2000
但是我會繼續嘗試。
16:37
But in the meanwhile, there is a method available.
366
982000
3000
在此同時，有個可行的方法
16:40
One billion children, we need 100 million mediators --
367
985000
3000
10億個孩子，我們需要1億個協助者
16:43
there are many more than that on the planet --
368
988000
2000
我們有的比需要的還要多
16:45
10 million SOLEs,
369
990000
2000
1 千萬組SOLE
16:47
180 billion dollars and 10 years.
370
992000
3000
1千8百萬美金和10年的時間
16:51
We could change everything.
371
996000
2000
我們可以改變一切
16:53
Thanks.
372
998000
2000
謝謝
16:55
(Applause)
373
1000000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sugata Mitra - Education researcherEducational researcher Sugata Mitra is the winner of the 2013 TED Prize. His wish: Build a School in the Cloud, where children can explore and learn from one another.
Why you should listen
In 1999, Sugata Mitra and his colleagues dug a hole in a wall bordering an urban slum in New Delhi, installed an Internet-connected PC and left it there, with a hidden camera filming the area. What they saw: kids from the slum playing with the computer and, in the process, learning how to use it -- then teaching each other. These famed “Hole in the Wall” experiments demonstrated that, in the absence of supervision and formal teaching, children can teach themselves and each other -- if they’re motivated by curiosity. Mitra, now a professor of educational technology at Newcastle University, called it "minimally invasive education."
Mitra thinks self-organized learning will shape the future of education. At TED2013, he made a bold TED Prize wish: Help me build a School in the Cloud where children can explore and learn on their own -- and teach one another -- using resouces from the worldwide cloud.
The School in the Cloud now includes seven physical locations -- five in India and two in the UK. At the same time, the School in the Cloud online platform lets students participate anywhere, with partner learning labs and programs in countries like Colombia, Pakistan and Greece. In 2016, Mitra held the first School in the Cloud conference in India. He shared that more than 16,000 SOLE sessions had taken place so far, with kids all around the world dipping their toes in this new education model.
