The Value-based Society
Developing countries are now moving to a knowledge-based society. But "knowledge is significant inly under the umbrella of the VALUE system" accdg. to Dr. Kim.
My ideas: Value is something an individual acquires through time. It is not simple to instill value or values to a person. Values will consist of beliefs, principles and even practices that an individual would adhere to even on occasions of moral dilemma. Values can also be based on culural traditions or religious beliefs. And we have to preserve the value-system. Value system is something that separates us from other living beings. More importantly, value system helps us to become better persons, better citizens of the nation.
The move to the "value-based society" will enable a "responsible knowledge=based society".
The Edutainment Park
The Edutainment Park is a grand, vigorous concept of mixing education and play. I wish the success of APEC and Korea in this endeavor.
My ideas: In the Phil setting, the Filipinos can make attempts to create such kind of edutainment park in a smaller scale like the children's museum. This can be a good alternate from the malls. In the Phils, people do not go anymore in the parks. They find the mall as the place to unwind with the possibility of endless consumption. This park can be a good vehicle of the value system if planned, designed and constructed well..
Professor Young-hwan Kim is the founder of IACE and ALCoB. His research interests include constructing international learning communities, making healthy future education systems, development of AI-applied learning management systems and running APEC-wide edutainment park. He is a very inspiring man, passionate and animated on how eLearning can make a better world.
