AI无法替代的能力:在苏州诺德学校,我们如何为孩子的未来做好准备

未来，不只是学知识，更在于如何思考

今天，孩子们面对的已不再是：“他们能否找到正确答案？”而是：“他们能否真正理解它、质疑它，并加以自身的判断与运用？” 

在苏州诺德学校，我们每天都在培养孩子们这些核心思考能力。

“教育是唤醒，是一棵树摇动另一棵树。一朵云，推动另一朵云。”

在苏州诺德，我们如何培养思考力

我们不仅教孩子们答案，更教会他们如何主动思考。

在课堂中，学生将学会： • 在回答问题前，先自己独立主动思考 • 探索不同的观点 • 清晰表达并论证自己的想法 • 独立解决问题

在实践中，我校学子将这些能力生动落地：小学生在科学节中设计简易实验，针对自然现象提出疑问，通过动手操作验证猜想，并向同伴展示探究成果；参与MIT挑战赛的学生分组协作，为全球真实环境议题提出解决方案；中学生则在教师指导下，独立完成实验室实验、分析数据并总结结论——这些充满实操性的过程，正是AI无法复制的。

这样的学习方式，让每一个孩子都能建立好奇心、自信心与独立性。

全球研究成果为支撑

作为Nord Anglia Education教育集团的战略伙伴，我们的教学方式基于与波士顿学院开展的全球研究项目，该项目覆盖全球范围各校超过12,000名学生。

研究结果显示，在核心能力的培养上，我们的学生取得了显著提升： • 好奇心提升20% • 批判性思维能力提升21% • 协作力、投入度与同理心提升15% • 76%的学生表示，他们的独立性有所增强

这些研究成果，将持续推动我们不断优化教学方法与学习体验。

作为集团旗下的一员，我们能够借助这些全球范围的洞察，将研究成果融入教学实践， 持续提升学校的教学与学习质量。

这也支持我们更好地专注于个性化学习的教学方式，并帮助学生为AI驱动的未来做好准备。

在充满不确定性的世界中建立自信

当孩子学会如何思考，他们将拥有自信去：

 • 独立解决问题 • 在变化中灵活应对 • 在挑战中坚持前行 • 做出富有判断力的决定

这些能力，不仅帮助他们应对考试，更将陪伴他们走向未来的人生。

The future isn’t just about what children know. It’s about how they think.

Today, children in Suzhou are growing up in a world where the question is no longer, “can students find the right answer?”. It’s: “can they understand it, challenge it, and use it wisely?”

At NAS Suzhou, we focus on developing these essential thinking skills every day.

Education is an awakening. It is one tree shaking another, one cloud pushing another.

How we develop thinking skills at NAS Suzhou

We don’t just teach answers. We teach students how to think.

In our classrooms, students learn to:

• Reflect before responding  

• Explore different perspectives  

• Explain and justify their thinking

• Solve problems independently  

In practice, our students apply these skills vividly: primary students in the Science Festival designed simple experiments, asked questions about natural phenomena, tested hypotheses through hands-on operations, and presented their findings to peers; those in the MIT Challenge worked in groups to propose solutions to real global environmental issues, and secondary students completed independent lab experiments, analyzed data and summarized conclusions under teachers’ guidance — all these practical processes are what AI cannot replicate.

Our approach builds curiosity, confidence, and independence in every learner.

Backed by global research

As part of Nord Anglia Education, our school’s approach to learning is informed by a global research partnership with Boston College, involving over 12,000 students worldwide.

The results showed measurable improvements in the skills that matter most:

• +20% curiosity  

• +21% critical thinking  

• +15% collaboration, commitment and compassion  

• 76% of students reported increased independence  

This research helps us continuously improve how we teach and how students learn.

As strategic parterner of Nord Anglia Education, we benefit from these global insights, using research-informed approaches to continuously strengthen teaching and learning across the school.

This supports our focus on personalised learning and preparing students for an AI-powered future.

Confidence in an uncertain world

When children learn how to think, they gain the confidence to:

• Solve problems independently  

• Adapt when things change  

• Keep going when challenges arise  

• Make decisions with confidence

These are the skills that prepare them not just for exams, but for life.
