Quem acha que os Finlandeses vão acabar com as disciplinas deve ler este esclarecimento do M.E. finlandês. Mas vai mudar alguma coisa na Finlândia, nomeadamente o aparecimento de uma área de Projetos Educativos interdisciplinares com uma grande chamada à participação ativa dos estudantes:

"In order to meet the challenges of the future, the focus is on transversal (generic) competences and work across school subjects. Collaborative classroom practices, where pupils may work with several teachers simultaneously during periods of phenomenon-based project studies are emphasised. The pupils should participate each year in at least one such multidisciplinary learning module. These modules are designed and implemented locally. The core curriculum also states that the pupils should be involved in the planning."

World's Oldest Computer Antikythera Mechanism is More Ancient than Previously Thought : SCIENCE : Tech Times



"The Antikythera was capable of calculating phases of the Moon, positions
of planets, and eclipses. The technology, more than 2,000 years old,
predates other inventions by more than 1,000 years. Astronomical
predictions are carried out utilizing around 40 differential gears and
cogs. The mechanism was found in a shipwreck by sponge divers in the
year 1900."
