(Αποσπάσματα από συνέντευξη με την δημοσιογράφο Κική Τσιλιγγερίδου, TV100 Τα γεγονότα στις 10 – 18.08.2020)
– Ποιες οι επιπτώσεις του Covid και τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε; Οι επιπτώσεις είναι οικονομικές, σωματικές, ψυχολογικές. Η κατάθλιψη στη Βρετανία διπλασιάστηκε την άνοιξη 2020 από 10 σε 20%. Είναι το COVID-19 μια φοβερή καταστροφή ή μια άνευ προηγουμένου ευκαιρία; Μπορεί να είναι και τα δύο. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι εν μέρει επιλογή μας, όπως εξηγώ στο άρθρο μου «Παραγωγική χρήση του χρόνου μας κατά τη διάρκεια του COVID-19.» Το μοντέλο COM-B (Michie et al., 2011) είναι ένας πολύ χρήσιμος οδηγός για οποιαδήποτε στρατηγική αλλαγής συμπεριφοράς. Υπάρχουν εννέα ευρείες κατηγορίες παρεμβάσεων: εκπαίδευση, πειθώ, κίνητρα, εξαναγκασμός, ενεργοποίηση (enablement), πρακτική κατάρτιση, περιορισμός, περιβαλλοντική αναδιάρθρωση, και χρήση μοντέλων. Τα κριτήρια για την εφαρμογή μιας λύσης είναι να είναι αποδεκτή, πρακτική, αποτελεσματική, οικονομική, να μην έχει παράπλευρες απώλειες, να είναι ίση για όλους. Βλέπε το σχετικό άρθρο μου “How to deal with Disinformation & advance Critical thinking.” Συνεχίζεται εδώ Διδασκαλία εξ αποστάσεως δεν σημαίνει παίρνω το δια ζώσης μάθημά μου, αναρτώ τις διαφάνειες και το παρουσιάζω μέσω Zoom η Skype. Είναι κάτι τελείως διαφορετικό. Για παράδειγμα, για κάθε 10 ώρες μαθήματος, η σύγχρονη εκπαίδευση μέσω τηλεδιάσκεψης δεν πρέπει να ξεπερνά τις μία με δύο ώρες. Επιπλέον, η κάθε παρουσίαση δεν πρέπει να ξεπερνά τα 6 με 8 λεπτά.
Σχολεία και πανεπιστήμια, εκπαιδευτικοί και μαθητές/φοιτητές θα έπρεπε να ετοιμάζονται πυρετωδώς για τη νέα σχολική ακαδημαϊκή χρονιά. Συγκεκριμένα, το Υπουργείο Παιδείας και οι αντίστοιχοι εκπαιδευτικοί φορείς θα πρέπει μέχρι την έναρξη των μαθημάτων να έχουν ετοιμάσει:
Στην ιστοσελίδα μου παραθέτω συνδέσμους και πηγές για διδάσκοντες εξ αποστάσεως, όπως τα εξαιρετικά δωρεάν μαθήματα για online teaching από το UNSW και την FutureLearn, τη δωρεάν πλατφόρμα Learning Designer από το University College London (UCL) για το σχεδιασμό δραστηριοτήτων μάθησης και ολόκληρων πλάνων μαθημάτων, οδηγίες πως να δουλεύετε πιο έξυπνα (π.χ., χρησιμοποιώντας τον βοηθό της Google, την υπαγόρευση Dictation, κλπ.). “Disinformation in a time of national crisis can be deadly.” (European Commission) "Policy-makers often rely heavily on common sense when making decisions instead of making use of available evidence from social and behavioral sciences. This has led to repeated policy failures and considerable unnecessary waste in resources and opportunities." (Academy of Social Sciences, 2017) Problem

κατά τη διάρκεια του COVID-19
Είναι το COVID-19 μια φοβερή καταστροφή ή μια άνευ προηγουμένου ευκαιρία; Μπορεί να είναι και τα δύο. το αποτέλεσμα είναι εν μέρει η επιλογή σας. Ασκήσεις κατά τη διάρκεια του Webinar:
Δείτε ολόκληρο το κείμενο με τις προτεινόμενες επιλογές εδώ. Is COVID-19 a terrible disaster or an unprecedented opportunity? It can be both; the outcome is partially your choice. Dream, Immerse, Grow (D.I.G. ) “If it’s to be it’s up to me,” they say. Due to the quarantine measures, you have an unprecedented opportunity to Dream, Immerse & Grow; to re-examine your values and your life and to plan and prepare for your future. You also have the chance to spend time and connect with loved ones - or you can choose to spend this time watching the news and complaining about the situation. It’s up to you! Here are three recommendations, for those who wish to adopt the second perspective.
1. AWARENESS The X/3 Formula Today, a 50 year old in a developed country expects to live another 30 years. The truth is we spend 8 hours at work and 8 hours per day asleep. That leaves 8 hours for personal activities. Using the X/3 Formula you can calculate how many years of life you have left. According to the formula, your Remaining time on this planet = [Life expectancy] - [Your age] / 3. Here is a working example for the 50 year old: [80] - [50] / 3 = 10 years! (I know, the 50 yr old will retire, which will allow a little more personal time). What will you do to ensure you make the most of your personal time left? What will you not do anymore? What does your “wheel of life” look like? This exercise will allow you to assess the different areas in your life. Use a grade from 0 (low) to 10 (high) to assess each area, and place a mark on each radius. When you are done, connect the dots. Does your wheel look round and inflated? What areas would you like to improve? 2. GOALS Connect with your values Where do you want to be in a few years? What would you like to do, be, or have? What do you enjoy spending time on? What will make you healthier, happier and more prosperous? What are your priorities? How are you doing with your No1?Consider the following. If you could only work on one skill, which one would yield the most benefits? Which one of your “shares” would produce the most value, if you decided to invest on it? With that in mind, what is your No1 priority at work (or in life)? Why? What, then, should be your No1 activity? OK, so how are you doing with your No1? Does your daily activity correspond to your priorities? If not, why? Plan What do you need to do? What do you need to learn? Who can help you? Who or what can stop you? What will you do? When? How? This online behaviour change contract will help you commit to what you will decide to change and describe how. Tailor it to your needs, choose your rewards/punishments, decide on your plan, set a deadline, and receive your contract on your email. Then follow it! 3. OPTIONS FOR USING YOUR TIME If you chose to D.I.G., here is a (brief) list of some options for you. Professional development Learn new skills, build or refresh your CV and LinkedIn profile, apply for new jobs, create your website (using wordpress, wix, weebly, etc.). Personal development Learn how to search or power search on Google, develop some of the top 10 most wanted skills (problem solving, critical thinking, communication, etc.), get an online degree, attend a MOOC (e.g., Learning how to teach online, Happiness) or complete micro courses, watch TED Talks, listen to podcasts while doing other things, become an expert user of different software from Accounting to Yoga Studio Management. Relax Meditate, listen to music from thousands of internet radio stations or Spotify, improve your dancing skills, or attend YouTube classes on virtually anything. Exercise Download nutrition and fitness apps or get fit working out with online instructors (without any equipment), lose those extra kilos. General
Learn how to work smarter (e.g., dictate to your phone/computer instead of typing), cook, read, work on your stress or anger management, assertiveness, communication skills, get organized, clean up, etc. Social Connect with family, relatives and friends using one of many teleconference options (Skype, Zoom, Google hangouts, Facebook), help others. With the kiddies Spend time playing with your children, go through the 24 killer websites that make you cleverer and pick your weapons together, etc. CONCLUSION There is plenty of time for self-pity and misery or time to D.I.G. (Dream, Immerse, Grow) and to connect with loved ones. What will you choose? Well done, I thought so!
