- 10:13Meșterul minții | Silvia Timișescu | TEDxYouth@DrobetaTurnuSeverinMintea ta este un atelier, iar tu ești meșterul care adună instrumente și dezvoltă abilitățile necesare pentru a le folosi, pentru a le combina, pentru a crea conexiuni, pentru a inova. Sunt profesor, și de peste 10 ani susțin elevi de gimnaziu în explorarea tărâmului matematicii și în a-și crește încrederea în capacitatea lor de a o învața. Încă de când am terminat facultatea mi-am dorit să am spațiul și libertatea de a face lucrurile diferit, așa că am ales calea antreprenoriatului și am creat contexte în care să pot să predau și explic matematica “altfel”.Acest “altfel” înseamnă, pe de o parte, abordarea noțiunilor într-un context practic, dar în același timp mai înseamnă și implicare în dezvoltarea moțională a copiilor cu care lucrez.Dacă ar fi să aleg un singur cuvânt care să mă descrie, acela ar fi “curiozitate”. Cred că ea e esențială pentru a trezi dorința de explorare și a descoperi bucuria învățării.
