In 1997, the Government published its White Paper Excellence Our aim must be to create a nation in Schools. It described education as a vital investment in where the creative talents of all the Ôhuman capitalÕ for the twenty-first century. It argued that one people are used to build a true enterprise economy for the twenty- of the problems in education is the low expectations of young first century Ñ where we compete on peopleÕs abilities and that it is essential to raise morale, brains, not brawn. motivation and self esteem in schools. The main focus of the The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon White Paper was on raising standards in literacy and numeracy. Tony Blair MP But this will not be enough to meet the challenges that face education, and the White Paper recognised this. It also said: If we are to prepare successfully for the twenty-first ...we cannot rely on a small Žlite, no century we will have to do more than just improve matter how highly educated or highly literacy and numeracy skills. We need a broad, paid. Instead we need the creativity, enterprise and scholarship of all our flexible and motivating education that recognises people. the different talents of all children and delivers excellence for everyone. Rt. Hon David Blunkett MP, Secretary of State for Education and It emphasised the urgent need to unlock the potential of every Employment young person and argued that BritainÕs economic prosperity and social cohesion depend on this. ii. This report argues that a national strategy for creative and We must change the concept of cultural education is essential to that process. We put the case creativity from being something that for developing creative and cultural education; we consider is Ôadded onÕ to education, skills, training and management and make what is involved; we look at current provision and assess the sure it becomes intrinsic to all of opportunities and obstacles; and we set out a national strategy. these. By creative education we mean forms of education that Rt. Hon Chris Smith MP, Secretary develop young peopleÕs capacities for original ideas and action: of State for Culture, Media and by cultural education we mean forms of education that enable Sport them to engage positively with the growing complexity and diversity of social values and ways of life. We argue that there are important relationships between creative and cultural education, and significant implications for methods of teaching and assessment, the balance of the school curriculum and for partnerships between schools and the wider world. What is this Report About? iii. Our report develops five main themes: The Challenge for Education Education faces challenges that are without precedent. Meeting these challenges calls for new priorities in education, Introduction and Summary NACCCE report 5 including a much stronger emphasis on creative and cultural education and a new balance in teaching and in the curriculum. Creative Potential Creativity is possible in all areas of human activity, including the arts, sciences, at work at play and in all other areas of daily life. All people have creative abilities and we all have them differently. When individuals find their creative strengths, it can have an enormous impact on self-esteem and on overall achievement. Freedom and Control Creativity is not simply a matter of letting go. Serious creative achievement relies on knowledge, control of materials and command of ideas. Creative education involves a balance between teaching knowledge and skills, and encouraging innovation. In these ways, creative development is directly related to cultural education. Cultural Understanding Young people are living in times of rapid cultural change and of increasing cultural diversity. Education must enable them to understand and respect different cultural values and traditions and the processes of cultural change and development. The engine of cultural change is the human capacity for creative thought and action. A Systemic Approach Creative and cultural education are not subjects in the curriculum, they are general functions of education. Promoting them effectively calls for a systemic strategy: one that addresses the balance of the school curriculum, teaching methods and assessment, how schools connect with other people and resources and the training and development of teachers and others. Who is this Report for? iv. Formally, our report is addressed to the Secretaries of State, and many of our recommendations do call for Government action at various levels. But education concerns everybody: children and young people, parents, employers, those in Introduction and Summary NACCCE report 6 work, out of work or in retirement. Consequently, our report is also written for a wider audience: · for parents, who want education to offer the best opportunities for their children; · for teachers and headteachers who see the potential range and vitality of young peopleÕs abilities; · for school governors, who want their schools to be alive with energy and achievement; · for other organisations who see themselves as partners in the education of young people and who want to find better ways of engaging with them; · for business and union leaders who recognise the need for new approaches to preparing young people for the changing nature of work. Above all, our aim is to urge the need for a national strategy which engages the energies of all of these to provide the kind of education, in substance and in style, that all young people need now, and to enable them to face an uncertain and demanding future. Why Now? v. There are great opportunities now to promote young peopleÕs creative and cultural education: · The Government is committed to promoting the creative abilities and cultural understanding of all young people through education. At the same time, it is introducing new patterns of funding to support extended curricula, specialist facilities and innovation. · The business community wants education to give a much higher priority to promoting young peopleÕs creative abilities; to developing

  • A Narrative Metaphor to Facilitate Educational Game Authoring Eugenio J
    A narrative metaphor to facilitate educational game authoring Eugenio J. Marchiori 1, Javier Torrente 1, Ángel del Blanco 1, Pablo Moreno-Ger 1, Pilar Sancho1, Baltasar Fernández-Manjón 1,2 1 Department of Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence, Complutense University, Madrid 2 Laboratory of Computer Science, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, Boston (emarchiori, jtorrente, angel.dba, pablom)@fdi.ucm.es, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract In this paper we present WEEV (Writing Environment for Educational Video games), a methodology for educational point-and-click adventure game authoring. Our approach aims to allow educators to actively collaborate in the educational game development process, using a narrative-based representation. WEEV is based on a pragmatic reinterpretation of previous works on narrativity and video games, enhanced by the use of a novel visual language to represent the flow of the story or narrative. The WEEV methodology has been implemented into an actual tool based on the already established <e-Adventure> platform for educational games. This tool was improved with feedback gathered from formative evaluation, end-users testing (i.e. educators), and actual use in the development of an educational game. The system, still under development, presents some user-interaction problems along with a need for the educational effectiveness of the resulting games to be further analyzed. However, this paper highlights that, according to the qualitative results of evaluations, WEEV can indeed be successfully applied to simplify the game creation process and that by using representations of games that educators can understand, WEEV can help provide educational value to games.
