The Future of Education 4th Edition 2014

An Invention with a Great Educational Potential

Ioan Grosu

Abstract

Today every country pays an increased attention to Education as a reliable source of progress. European Union released on Nov. 20th , 2012  a document RETHINKING EDUCATION [1] to push Education in direction of improving skills in order to lower the unemployment rate  among young people.
     
Recently we heard several complaints from primary school teachers concerning the elementary skills of their  school children. Just clicking with the mouse or touching screens  is not enough for a balanced , healthy activity of school children. A book develops this topic [2]. 
      
In this communication  we suggest an idea which can help to manage these difficulties. It is about a toy and a didactic device invented in Romania [3] and produced by REKUBUS  in Germany [4] under the commercial name TOP-SPEEDY. 
     
Spinning Top is an old and much beloved toy[5]. The new Spinning Top is controllable [6] and magic, educative, interactive, scientific and helps to improve patience, perseverance, coordination hand-eye, patience. In addition it is useful to increase the self-confidence of girls to study natural sciences and engineerings[7].
