inputs to create more value in education

9 inputs to createmore value in

education

# 1Start-off workshop with all participants

Financial advantages

When participants are involved and avoid the ”command”way of teaching / ”Frontalunterricht”, they learn more and consequently produce more value for customers of the companies, they work for.

# 2During the workshop,

participants stand, walk, and sit inside

and outside buildings

When participants stand up, they develop more ideasand come to better conclusions. Thereby, participants become more competent, and companies create more value for their customers.

# 6Education based onintrinsic motivation


� Costs for tests / control at the end of the educationprocess are reduced, for example costs for room, paper, controllers at tests, transportation, and energy.

� Costs for writing, printing, and distributing diplomasare reduced.

� As the most effective financial incentives are lesseffective than the best non-financial incentives, time / energy is invested better in other things thathelp people learn more and get more success.

Imagine a world where higher education doesn't end with a diploma, but starts at 18 and continues through life, as the world changes around us.

Current mental model: The teaching factory� Students are raw materials that need to be taught in order to

pass exams.� Classrooms are the primary physical environments for teaching.� Organization based on classes, subjects, and 45-minute time

slots.

Alternative mental model: The learning environment� Students are essential resources in the learning process.

They are in charge of their own learning process.� Learning takes place in a wide variety of environments inside

and outside the school.� The organizational unit is the individual student.

Learning pace, method, and content is individual.

”We need to develop the ability to teach each student in a different way that is tailored to the way their brain is wired to learn.

The only way that that can be done is if learning is accomplished by computer and by software rather thanby a teacher standing up in a monolithic mode. Computer based learning is much more customizableto individual students’ styles and paces of learning .
