IX International Seminar TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGES IN EDUCATION: SYSTEM-WIDE APPROACH

20 Rugpjūtis 2012

The IX International Seminar "Transformative Changes in Education: System-wide Approach" is organised by the UNESCO Chair in e-Learning of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). It will take place in Barcelona (Spain) on November 26-27, 2012.

This year’s Seminar will be focused on the much needed reforms of the education system. Following the previous edition (VIII) of the Seminar, the post-seminar survey indicated strong interest amongst participants to revisit basic concepts of education such as: core goals of education, curriculum, outcome measurements and education reforms - in order to analyze their alignment with new global realities of this century. Responding to these requests, the organizers of this year’s IX edition have chosen a non-traditional approach: while paying attention to each level of education, analyze issues that are identifiable across all levels. By doing this, we were inspired by the vision of UNESCO:"...to address education in a holistic manner, by promoting a vision of inclusive life-long learning that spans each of different levels of education and considers both formal and non-formal approaches." ( 35 C/5 Approved Programme and Budget 2010-2011, p. 36, 35th General Conference of UNESCO, Paris, May 2009)*

The following questions will be in the focus of the seminar:

 How we articulate the goal of education today? What is its core purpose?

  •  Does globalization imply standardization? What are trends in education reforms worldwide?
  •  Curriculum reform: what to teach to learners in a global setting? What will they really need?
  •  What education can learn from neuroscience research? How brain, mind, and education are connected?
  •  Technology as the driver for change: is it being used adequately in and out of classrooms? How to advance its   potential for enhancing learning?
  •  Learning as a life-long, life-deep and life-wide process: how we correlate and connect formal and informal learning? How important are social factors for learning?
  •  Educational evaluation systems: what are the lead trends? Digital assessment: how to change it from inventory tool to a guide for teaching and learning?

RACEV - Conference about collaborative learning in virtual environments

07 Rugpjūtis 2012

"Conference about collaborative learning in virtual environments" is a initiative developed by the thematic network for collaborative learning in virtual environments (RACEV) where 8 institutions take part: Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), Universidad de Sevilla (US), Universidad de Valladolid (UVA) and Universitat de València (UV). Dr. Montse Guitert is the coordinator of the network, who is the Edul@b research group chief investigator.

RACEV target is to make easier the on-line collaborative learning between students, by analyzing social interaction phenomenon within higher education. Using this knowledge, we try to provide pedagogical strategies to teachers.

During the conference, which will be held in Barcelona on 26 and 27 November 2012, we will be inviting participants to share their experiences and ideas focused in the exploration and study of collaborative on-line learning topic, from three points of view:

Focus 1: Experiences on collaborative tools and platforms

  • Tools to encourage collaborative learning in students
  • Conceptual proposals and innovative practical experiences in collaborative networking learn.
  • Social networks and virtual communities.

Focus 2: Collaborative methodical proccesses

  • Pedagogical directions for the collaborative learning through ICT.
  • Pedagogical directions to support collaboration and interaction between on-line students.
  • E-learning for a collaborative culture.

Focus 3: Collaborative processes evaluation

  • Fundamentals and considerations about the collaborative processes evaluation.
  • Tools for the collaborative network processes evaluation.

Mąstymo, eksperimentavimo ir bendravimo vaidmuo mokslinėje laboratorijoje

05 Liepa 2010
Šiame straipsnyje aptariamas ikimokyklinis ir pradinis mokslinis švietimas, paremtas IRT. Mes siūlome metodiką, kuri mąstymą, eksperimentavimą ir bendravimą sujungia į bendrą priemonę ugdyti techninį ir mokslinį mąstymą, taip pat skatinti mokinius kontroliuoti savo mokymosi rezultatus ir dirbti drauge.
Pateiktas tyrimas atkreipia dėmesį į kelis svarbius šio tipo pedagogikos veikimo būdus. Akcentuojamas mokytojų gebėjimas atsiliepti į mokinių smalsumą ir jų pačių interesus bei pedagogų galimybės padėti mokiniams išsiugdyti guvų protą ir skatinti tokias nuostatas ir vertybes kaip pagarba kitiems, savarankiškumas, kritiškas mąstymas ir gebėjimas dirbti kolektyve. Ugdant techninį ir mokslinį mąstymą, labai svarbu atkreipti dėmesį ir į mus supančio pasaulio supratimą, sąveiką su juo ir jo susiejimą su kasdieniu gyvenimu, taip pat į kognityvinių ir kalbinių įgūdžių, kurie yra pagrindinės mokymosi ir bendravimo dedamosios, naudojimą.

Remdamiesi socialiniu kritiniu švietimo modeliu, esame suinteresuoti, kad būtų gerinama tiksliųjų mokslų dėstymo kokybė ir skatinamas svarbiausias jo potencialas. Tam, be kitų dalykų, reikia suprasti, kokį pagrindinį vaidmenį mokslinių žinių kūrimo eigoje atlieka emocijos.
