RSA/Encyclopaedia Britannica Debate - Do schoolchildren and students know how to research?

In the age of user-generated content and the instant search result, how can we encourage critical analysis of the “wisdom of crowds”? How can we help young people in the education system towards the platform of intellectual confidence that is a characteristic of growing up and underpins all contributory citizenship?

Our panel includes: Professor Guy Claxton, Professor of Learning Sciences at the University of Bristol Graduate School of Education, Professor Stephen Heppell, online education policy adviser, heppell.net, Sir Mike Tomlinson CBE, Chief Adviser of London Challenge and former H. M. Chief Inspector of Schools and Kathryn Pollard,  Director of Curriculum Development at St John's School and Community College, Marlborough.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008 from 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (GMT)
