Es cierto que los programas de vacunación se han enfocado principalmente hacia lactantes y niños, pero no debemos olvidar que la vacunación continúa en la adolescencia (y vida adulta). Hablar de vacunas habitualmente conlleva debate (cuando no polémica), pero en un ambiente de respeto y escucha mutua no podemos olvidar la diferencia entre los principios científicos (de eficacia, seguridad, inmunogenicidad, efectividad, eficiencia) y éticos (es clave la ausencia de conflictos de interés) que deben regir el soporte de los que apoyamos la vacunación, frente a los movimientos antivacunas y teorías conspiranoicas.
Al debate propio de la vacunación (aunque debe quedar claro que la gran mayoría de los profesionales sanitarios y población general la entienden y apoyan como una de las medidas fundamentales que han disminuido la morbi-mortalidad en el mundo), cabe sumar en esta edad las barreras propias en la adolescencia.
Creativity & Innovation are the two buzzwords floating around in almost every sphere of life. Everyone wants to be creative and wants to know more about creativity.
Most of us have some ideas about what is creativity and what are the sources of creativity. However, many times these anecdotal concepts may be misconcepts.
Mastering any skill requires basic understanding of original sources of that particular skill.
So is the case for creativity.
When I facilitate my flagship program on “Creativity @ Workplace”, which is conducted in Five weekends, invariably a discussion pops up regarding original source of Creativity.
Recently I delivered a two hours seminar on “Roots of Human Creativity” at local Chamber of Commerce.
Sharing the Presentation of the same.
Hope you would like it.
Please do drop I a few lines of feedback/comments.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Creativity
A "new" idea is a combination of old elements.
Creativity:
• It is your ability to combine ideas in a unique
way or to make useful associations among ideas.
• “Mere novelty of a product does not
, however, justify its being called creative ….. It
must serve to solve a problem , fit the needs of
a given situation, accomplish some recognizable
goal.”
-Donald W MacKinnon

3. Need for Creativity
*
In the present scenario:
– Competition is high, thus quality becomes important;
creativity leads to quality.
– Every profession needs updating, innovating and
experimenting; creativity thus becomes important.
– Customer purchasing power as well as information
power is high, they demand the best value for their money;
creativity gives that extra edge.

new ways of dong business would never emerge, and
most organizations would be forever stuck doing the
same old things the same old way."
Innovation
Innovation is a process of taking new ideas to satisfied
customers. It is the conversion of new knowledge into new
products and services.
Innovation is about creating value and increasing
efficiency, and therefore growing your business.

8. Process of Innovation
• The Innovation process can be
depicted as a series of funnels
each getting progressively
smaller.
• Typically sixty ideas into the top
funnel only produces just one
innovation.
• The funnels are labeled as the
four phases in the process - idea
generation, idea
screening, feasibility and
implementation.

concepts into new shapes or jump from old concepts to new
ones

8. Problem Sensitivity: To notice the unexplained ,the
unsatisfactory or the incongruent- i.e. ,the ability to sense
problems and issues that may be unclear or camouflaged.
9. Guessing Causes and Consequences: It is the ability to have
root cause analysis- go to the roots of the problem , find
reasons and the likely consequences.
10. Elaboration: The ability to elaborate on a theme is also a
creative ability.
11. Problem Restructuring: Defining the problem beyond what
is visible in a more interesting way.

15. Divergent and Convergent thinking skills
_
They are both important aspects of intelligence, problem
solving and critical thinking.
Bringing facts and data together from various sources and
then applying logic and knowledge to solve problems, achieve
objectives or to make informed decisions is known as thinking
convergently. Ex: Sherlock Holmes
Divergent Thinking is thinking outwards instead of inward. It is
the ability to develop original and unique ideas and then come
up with a problem solution or achieve an objective.
Ex: Einstein

5. Breakthrough: Evolved after combining many
problem solving techniques by Khandwalla. More
useful in people related issues. It emphasizes
identification of problems stakeholders, multiple
ways of defining a problem and demolition of the
chosen alternative and its reconstruction.
Process : Each member to state the problem as he sees-define the
stakeholders to the problem- stakeholder teams are formed-
Problem redefined- Top problems selected for brainstorming- Best
solution is selected- Reverse brainstorming is done (Why the idea
will not work)-Each group to reward the solution considering
objections – Further economics, planning and development are
looked into – Finalized.

Unconscious Mind
(instincts, Self preservation and
reproduction, no regulation)
Preconscious Mind
(Fantasizing and Imagining prominent in
childhood , motivated to fulfill dreams dropping
real life constraints like getting into IAS, acting

29. Roots of Human Creativity- Mental(Cont)
As per Alfred Adler, creativity is a way of compensating
for feelings of inferiority.
Carl Gustav Jung opined that human race has
collective unconscious in which archetypal (typical
, representative) shadows lurk.
These archetypes are the primal shared experiences of
mankind. They include Persona- Mask, Anima-
Feminine side of man , Animus – masculine side of
women‟s nature, Shadow- animal side of human
psyche and Self- individuals striving for
completeness.
Human creativity is always accessing and expressing
, in many ways , all the above potent and shadowy
archetypes.

2. Closure need and creativity: Humans feel
uncomfortable if there are no answers to
problems . When there are no answers to Why
, What , How, When or Where , humans go into
problem solving overdrive .
• Gaps between what it is and what ought to be.
• Questions asked are a response to perceived
gaps.
• Asking a good question is an art. It prioritizes
the knowledge and focuses on the search more
sharply.

31. Roots of Human Creativity- Mental(Contd---)
3. Dialectical sources of Creativity:
Another root of creativity is the urge to synthesize earlier
antagonistic (hostile)perspective into a new integrated
perspective.
As per Hegel‟s „Dialectical Phenomenology‟ it involves
finding what are the oppositions
, conflicts, contrasts, contradictions , the otherness
,estrangements that are possible in the context.
Imagination , Emotion or Passion also play critical role in
creativity.
Spiritual advances take place when thesis(Idea, opinion) and
anti-thesis is resolved productively .(like humans and
animals-the others concept of differentiating).
Ex: Wood outside the house transformed into a threshold.
Otherness of wood is not lost but uplifted/ upgraded.

32. Roots of Human Creativity- Mental(Contd..)
4. Intuition as a source of Creativity: Intuition is
more or less correct conclusion reached on the basis
of neither conscious logic or noticeable evidence.
Intuition could be in many forms:
a. Premonition- seeing in advance without evidence or
rationale- Ex : like expecting a calamity.
b. Guessing repeatedly on thin basis.-Ex: Stock investor
c. Creative intuitions- inspiration, vision, conviction,
hunch , law , hypothesis etc.
Thus , creative intuition is a stimulating pointer , an
initial awareness for creative work.
Dreams and meditation could be a source of intuitions.

2. Sense of Human Brotherhood and Sisterhood
3. Altruism- doing good with expecting reward
4. Deep moral sense of what is right or wrong
5. Love of Humanity and all living beings
B . Spiritual Fraternity and Creativity:
Forms of Yoga and TM increase our creativity when practiced
for long
Groups of people come together for good and humane deeds-
Green movement, Ramakrishna Mission, Sarvodaya , Red
Cross, Lions Club , Swadhyaya (empowering the
poorest), Krushibhakhti (Devotion through farming). Aam
Admi Party (against corruption)

are the societies to promote creativity.
1. Conservative Society- Conformance , and Why
Change?
2. Entrepreneurial Society – Creative destruction

expressed compactly with clear meaning. Succinct
expression of a novel idea. Result of individual effort
2. It is insightful and a product of distinctive
contexts, personality traits, cognitive (relating to the
process of acquiring knowledge by the use of
reasoning, intuition, or perception) process and
mental giftedness.
3. It can be graded from moderate to exceptional.
Nicely expressed by proverbs- No Risk No
Gain, Necessity is the mother of invention etc
Ex: Eureka- Archimedes discovery of law of floatation is
example of creative discovery. Darwin‟s survival of
the fittest is also an example of Essence Creativity

37. Forms of Creativity: Elaborative Creativity
• It is the distinctive elaboration of an idea
, principle, law, view point that render it not
only novel but useful in a context.

elaborations.
• Legal governance, Management systems ,work
flow are also elaborations.
