Let's teach for mastery -- not test scores | Sal Khan

Super talk, completely valid explanation of my experiences of education, but I still have one huge question. How do we get the conservative idiots who run the show to actually listen and allow changes to this archaic classist system of education?

This man is a true genius.
Legend.

One of my all time favourite talks and mental models to explane the problem with education. Just love it and use it all the time! ❤ Thanks and please keep up the work

I had a indian professor who only taught my mesmoring to pass the test. This doesnt translate into the real world where variables are always changing. Its imperitive to make sure students have a clear understanding of the theory and how it can impact the equation.

He is from my Country Bangladesh

Every engineer, physicist, ect owes this man thousands of dollars he has/will never ask for

Sal khan membuatku melihat pendidikan, matematika, sains dengan cara yang sangat berbeda, jika ada orang yang akan berdampak sangat besar bagi hidupku di masa depan, orang itu adalah sal khan

While I wasvin the navt when middle school and high school wasvcrsp for education I took metal shop instead but it help out the mechanical portion of the test asvab

GeForce u applied to mit and took sat do you had to use the sat prep book to fobit well I did the same for military sndvtook thevnathbportion of the book snd master math

He truly deserve a Nobel prize

All this praise for Sal is from people who have a desire to learn, including me. However, once I became a teacher I realized that the real issue is that most kids have no desire to learn. They see no purpose in it. They don't want to fill in the gaps, Sal's fatal flaw here is that he doesn't have real classroom experience, and I mean like real real classroom experience. Most "experts" don't. That being said I think he is a great resource for those trying to learn.

"Let's draw a circle here... That's not a very good circle. Let me try again..." The memories of stumbling on his videos and how his explanations instantly flicked a switch in me.

This guy is like the Father of Education for all the students. Because of him, many students who once hated learning have taken an interest in learning.

Absolutely fantastic video!
Just one thing he got wrong imo, the future is still going to be a pyramid. It's not going to be automation at the bottom, it's going to be AI at the top.

Khan Academy is the holy grail of knowledge or The Organic Chemistry Tutor

Okay, I really like the idea behind this, and I've suggested it myself. But how do we keep those who need a lot more time to master a subject (or several subjects) able to complete their secondary education before they reach adulthood? How do we keep colleges from discriminating against the students who finish their math requirements at age twenty-one, versus those who got it taken care of by age seventeen? Are we as a society going to fund someone who spends seven years in high school? Are we going to provide childcare while they finish mastering their English requirements or their Biology requisites? Do these students get to continue with advanced courses if it took them three years to master the basic ones?
I know that our current system has similar, and in some cases worse, failings. I'm not suggesting that this isn't a better approach. I actually think it is. But in order to put it into effect, we're going to require a system overhaul and a radical adjustment in our expectations. Are we prepared to do that?

This is how Montessori works - has worked for over 100 years.

wow this has actually been insightful for my learning

Who's here from the AI video? It's beautiful seeing how he has worked on his goal to teach for mastery all this time. Greatest educator I have seen

Bro I thought the guy voicing the video was a white dude lmao

Sal Khan is Amazing.

I'm a retired college prof and I'd love to see mastery learning implemented in college.

Great presentation about the idea of mastery learning. This was like 6 years ago. The fascinating thing is that another Ted talk for Sal Khan was released few days ago about using bots in Khan academy and i believe using AI to achieve mastery learning could shape future learning.

The school system is so broken and inauthentic. Few people within it challenge it and really make change. Too few even understand that education itself isn’t the existing, flawed process itself.

Today he is one of finest AI teachers around the world

Sal khan, One of the greatest, noblest man the world has ever seen

I think with AI and particularly Khanmigo this has finally been achieved. Good work on Khan academy, it's been a blessing!

This is brilliant!!

When i started watching him
Brain finally said you chose one thing correct in life

can't do this in a class with 25-30 kids and one teacher

this needs to be applied to nursing school. all aspects of learning!!

Sal khan deez nuts

Bro whenever I hear his voice my brain goes to super focus and learning mode

Thank you Sal

the historical perspective was really cool. it makes his cause more imperative. we have the resources NOW for everyone to fill in knowledge gaps and to encourage everyone to strive for mastery in areas people were historically discouraged out of. the equalizing force of the information revolution has opened doors for equitable access, and now is the time for everyone to realize a mastery framework

❤

Such an iconic awesome human!

his voice is ingrained into every homeschooled child's brain.

I got placed in an Algebra 1 class, but I already knew it all. Still wanted to know more about math, KhanAcademy has an Algebra 2 class. I'm now doing that, and it is really fun.

My teacher ask me to remind you that human brain is not cement brick 😊

Crazy i had this idea today and got promoted this video today... scary.

W khan academy

Here's concrete, you've got 2 weeks, Do what you can!....haven't laughed this hard in while, Sal🤣😁🙌!!

This guy never says, uhh ummm soo, he kinda just took over everyone, like noone could laugh at or question him, just like a teacher(but better)....I mean great great skills dude....huge respect 🙏 🧡🧡

this guy deserves a nobel prize in something

Caramba, é este o criador da Khan Academy?

Whilst I think everyone benefits from mastery learning, I do think people have their cognitive limits, as well temperamental ones. I can't get motivated, but anything academic is easy.

I think for kids we should do everything we can go help them with mastery though.
