The Future of Education

1. REAL TEACHING, TRAINING AND LEARNING ARE CHANGING IN SUBSTANTIAL WAYS.2. TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION ARE DRIVING NEW APPROACHES TO EDUCATION.3. WHAT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION LOOKS LIKE.

4

The Future of Education• The technological revolution has increased the rate of

innovation, creativity, evolution, as well as critical thinking.

• Are we going to be able to predict the skills that people will need in 20 years?

• Are traditional skills for instance reading, writing and arithmetic out of date?

• Digital literacy, creativity, problem solving, team working and effective communication are essential in a list of 21st-century skills.

Full Definition of LEARNING• the act or experience of one that learns • knowledge or skill acquired by instruction

or study • modification of a behavioral tendency by

experience (as exposure to conditioning)

• Education for whom?

• How many people participate in education?

• What kind of education?

• How much does education cost?

• Who are our teachers?

Recognizing that learning is increasingly happening individually beyond formal educational settings, the role of teachers will have to evolve from dispensers of information and knowledge to facilitators of learning.

From a traditional focus on the content of learning programs and

teaching/learning methods, the focus is now shifting to the recognition, assessment and validation of knowledge and skills.

Predictions of Future Education 20151. Competency-based learning improvements steam.2. A slowdown in 1-to-1 (each child will have his own device, laptop or iPad

) initiatives; to have a one-device-fits-all approach does not make sense.3. Technology personalizes learning and creates a student-centered

education system.4. Drive in online corporate learning.******The very notion of education as an industry is problematic. School is about transmitting values and principles from one generation to the next. Education is the child-rearing activity of civilization. We support our young into reflective citizens by teaching them the social and epistemological agreements of an increasingly global collective.

What education will look like in the future?

There are people that say there is no future in online, classroom training is superior and there is no way to replace it.Others say that online training courses are boring and students do not enjoy taking them. Classroom training versus online training :+ Online education is easy to access and provides a convenient way to obtain course materials such as homework, exam schedules, test scores and more.+ For most online schools, all course information is obtained by browsing the internet and sending/receiving email.

- Online education has devalued post-secondary education and will reduce the effectiveness of obtaining quality career positions .- It isolates the students from one another as well as their instructor reducing the overall value of taking the course.

11

” Our children will create the future. We need to train people to have the creativity to reinterpret the world.”

Yong Zhao, director, Institute for Global and Online Education, University of Oregon

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) embarked on a research programme, sponsored by Google, to examine to what extent the skills taught in education systems around the world are changing.

So how can education best prepare young people to navigate their way through an increasingly interconnected and complex world?

12

Whereas 20th century learning was based on individual knowledge acquisition, the 21st century demands collaborative learning and skills blended with critical thinking. All higher ed leaders implored our schools to prepare capable communicators.• We should teach them to work together and focus more on

student engagement and learning.• We need a shift from a teacher-centered delivery model to a

learner-centered approach. • The students need to get much more sophisticated about

learning styles and educational diversity. • They need knowledge, creativity, skills, and leadership.

13

• Think outside the box (or traditional classroom and schedule), cultivate self-sufficient, independent learners, and prepare students for a future landscape where the only certainty is change..

• Our possibilities are limited only by our creative thinking.• 21st century student competency – critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity/innovation.

No one has a crystal ball to see the future…

14

What skills will the future demand?

• Using the Internet and connecting online made me feel like learning is no longer something kept for the young.

• I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and I do take advantage of new technologies.

• Education, or the transmission, acquisition, creation and adaptation of information are the main points.

• Knowledge, skills and values, is a key lever of sustainable development.

18

• Learning can be seen as something that takes place on an ongoing basis from our daily interactions with others and with the world around us. It can take the form of formal learning or informal learning, or self-directed learning.

• This is based on a vision of inclusive societies in which all citizens have equitable opportunities to access effective and relevant learning throughout life delivered through multiple formal, non-formal and informal settings.

• As such, education is essential to individuals’ development as it is to the development of their families, of the local and national communities to which they belong, and to the world at large.

Llifelong Learning

19

Education of Tomorrow• The learner as well as the teacher of the future is totally

digitalized. • Media data as well as computers are in daily use. • New interaction and usage paradigms, for instance, on multi

touch devices have an impact on the way end users interact with omnipresent devices.

• Students learn more from doing than watching.

20

5 Education Tech Trends For 2015

;

This is an exciting time to be in education technology.

• Technology for flipped-learning;a form of blended learning in which students learn content online by watching video lectures, usually at home, and homework is done in class with teachers and students discussing and solving questions

• is to engage learners in and out of the classroom.

The dynamic nature of this approach enables teachers to create effective and fun asynchronous and synchronous learning experiences.

• Device agnostic learningWhile videos and websites are basically ubiquitous across all devices, many apps are native, even exclusive, to one device or mobile operating system.

The pain points caused by multiple standards, multiple screen sizes, and multiple operating systems are not sustainable.

21

• Assistive technologies in the classroomPerhaps one of the greatest challenges for designers of software systems and technology products is to deliver a uniform experience to a large and diverse human population.

• Creators of edtech stand to benefit from ensuring that their products and services are designed to allow differently-abled students the same access to learning.

Mobile learningMobile learning apps were everywhere in

2015

Mobile learning technology can drive collaboration and engage

different types of individual learners and various groups of

interconnected learners.

22

Personalized blended learningCustomization the

collection of edtech tools that can meet

the needs of students in a personalized,

meaningful, and timely manner based on best

practices stand to rule.

Technology isn't the driver.

Strong belief in innovation is

secondary to the needs of students,

teachers, and administrators.

Recognize that teachers are tasked with implementing,

and often times, identifying, the best

mix of digital learning tools for

each student.

Different approaches to learning, such as project-based

learning, maker education, game-based learning, and more, will continue to be explored as part of personalized blended

learning models.

23

Transactional vs. Transformational Learning• Transactional

learning methods operate from the view that skills or information are things to be transferred from the knower / teacher to the learner.

• The students are passive consumers.

• Transformational learning is the expansion of consciousness through the transformation of basic worldview and specific capacities of the self; transformative learning is facilitated through consciously directed processes such as appreciatively accessing and receiving the symbolic contents of the unconscious and critically analyzing underlying premises

• Transformational learning is active learning, not passive.

In that sense, we want students to be involved in

activities within legal actions, rather than standing back from the

actions and merely learning about them.

24

Transformative Culture of Learning

25

1. A learning culture is a set of organizational values, conventions, processes, and practices that encourage individuals—and the organization as a whole—to increase knowledge, competence, and performance.

2. “High impact” simply describes the idea that the learning culture positively impacts business results.

3. In other words, it makes a difference.

Your Learning CultureYou already have

oneHumans are

wired to learn

Learning is happening every day

Learning is a bit like breathing,

in the sense that it is

constant and life giving.

27

For Human Being learning is as natural as breathing

• Self directed learning is the only answer in this fast changing era of technology driven knowledge society.

• Not to just focus on imparting skills and knowledge to the students, it is important to enable them to learn how, when and where to apply all that they are learning.

Questions• Who controls the learning?• Do your learning events match with your

experience/reality?• How are you building value and trust with each learning

experience?

31

Transformative Learning• Transformative learning is the expansion of consciousness through the

transformation of basic worldview and specific capacities of the self; transformative learning is facilitated through consciously directed processes such as appreciatively accessing and receiving the symbolic contents of the unconscious and critically analyzing underlying premises .

• A defining condition of being human is that we have to understand the meaning of our experience.

• Transformative learning develops autonomous thinking.• An important part of transformative learning is for individuals to change their

frames of reference by critically reflecting on their assumptions and beliefs and consciously making and implementing plans that bring about new ways of defining their worlds.

Mindset is a simple idea discovered by world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in decades of research on achievement and success—a simple idea that makes all the difference.

In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong.

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

Teaching a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It enhances relationships.

40

Mindsets are beliefs—beliefs about yourself and your most basic qualities. • Think about your intelligence, your talents, your personality. • Are these qualities simply fixed traits, carved in stone and that’s that? • Or are they things you can cultivate throughout your life?• Scientists are learning that people have more capacity for life-long learning

and brain development than they ever thought. • Each person has a unique genetic endowment. • People may start with different temperaments and different aptitudes, but it is

clear that experience, training, and personal effort take them the rest of the way.

Blended learning works “with” the brain’s wiring…

43

. Flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional educational arrangement by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom and moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. • In a flipped classroom model, students watch online lectures, collaborate in

online discussions, or carry out research at home and engage in concepts in the classroom with the guidance of the instructor.

• The flipped classroom intentionally shifts instruction to a learner-centered model in which class time is dedicated to exploring topics in greater depth and creating meaningful learning opportunities, while educational technology such as online videos are employed to deliver content outside of the classroom.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom

Flip Your Classroom

http://www.knewton.com/wp-content/uploads/flipped-classroom-1.jpg

45

The Flipped Classroom

Is about making sure that the "voice" most often

heard in the classroom is that of the student, not the

teacher.

That ”voice” could be the student literally doing the

talking by sharing or processing information with

the class.

It could also be the students creating something visual or

auditory to demonstrate their comprehension of the

material.

46

Performance Based Teacher Education. What is the State of the Art?

47

Reading is a very good way of finding out about the future, but it is quite time consuming .

There are a number of things that will remain unchanged, according to some authors, until 2060, including people

being interested in the future.

Featuring requires time, imagination, in-depth analysis and, ideally, a budget of some

sort.

By introducing one may find the meaning for which one searches, overcoming fears of the unknown in the process, and which will make our lives more worthwhile, lives where we will be respected for our knowledge and interest.

My Tips For The Future Education

48

• Educators around the world are being told that they need to transform Education systems to adapt young people for a future global knowledge economy.

• But is this future vision robust, achievable or even desirable? • What other futures might be emerging from the convergence of social and

technological change? • What might these other futures mean for education?

49

My Hopes for the Future Education"Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another." - G.K. Chesterton

My hope is that teachers will make learning personalized rather than standardized for everyone. My hope allows to improve students’ creativity and teachers increase that natural curiosity with learners. Curiosity is the basis of innovation. Curiosity will power our world to progress.My hope is that you charge the power of technology in thoughtful and incredible ways. Applied science can connect everyone, everywhere, at whatever time. We should use it to our advantage.I hope for everyone to be able to discover the things you are passionate about. I also hope that you have remarkable, encouraging educators and mentors who try groundbreaking and wild teaching techniques to help you grow as a learner.My hope is you are ready for the challenges as well as the failure.Making mistakes is a way to learn. It’s not about the disaster; it’s how you respond to the failure.And finally my hope is that your school is different from most of the current transactional learning models, where the students are consumers of education.Lastly, I hope for people to be just educational learners fitted in transformational learning approach with opportunity for active, creative and profound personal development. Education can take place anywhere and at anytime. It is not only about reading, writing, and learning mathematical practices.Knowledge is wide-ranging. It’s breathing. Learning is the future.
