Learning in the 21st century - Policy lessons from around the world

Transcript of Learning in the 21st century - Policy lessons from around the world
Be the place where students come to understand themselves The key challenge for the teaching profession is to strengthen the “technical core” of its professional practices. What does it take to improve the use and dissemination of proved and promising teaching practices? How do we generate and share cumulative knowledge in education? Innovation School leaders also played a key role in integrating external and internal accountability systems by supporting their teaching staff in aligning instruction with agreed learning goals and performance standards
To evaluate school performance, two-thirds of OECD countries have regulations that require lower secondary schools to be inspected regularly where leaders are held accountable for their use of public funding and for the structures and processes they establish PISA shows that, on average now 84% of students are enrolled in schools that have full autonomy in deciding how their budgets are spent, and 57% are in schools that are fully autonomous in formulating their budgets School leaders develop networks and share their tasks with vice-principals or co-principals, deputy principals, assistant principals, vocational/technical department heads, workshop managers and/or co-coordinators and teachers with special duties. Leadership structures or more informal ad hoc groups based on expertise and current needs are formed to encourage a distribution of responsibilities Continual assessment with formative feedback Promote connections across subjects and activities and beyond school Teachers need to be well-versed in the subjects they teach in order to be adept at using different methods and, if necessary, changing their approaches to optimize learning Teachers need a rich repertoire of teaching strategies, the ability to combine approaches, and the knowledge of how and when to use certain methods and strategies. Teachers need to have a deep understanding of how learning happens, and and strengthen student initiative and create skills Teachers need to be able to work in highly collaborative ways, working with other teachers and professionals or para-professionals within the same organization, or with others in other organizations, in networks of professional communities and in different partnership arrangements, including, for some, mentoring teachers Teachers need the space to design, lead, manage and plan learning environments in collaboration with others Teachers need to reflect on their practices in order to learn from their experience Developing
21st century teachers The strategies used should include direct, whole-group teaching, guided discovery, group work, and the facilitation of self-study and individual discovery. Understanding learning to improve teaching Innovation and knowledge inspired by science (research and evaluation) Innovation inspired through entrepreneurial development of new products and services Innovation and knowledge inspired by practitioners (teachers, school heads) Innovation inspired by users (students, parents, communities) OECD countries spend 15 times more on
than on Teaching and learning in the 21st century Many Japanese students still struggle with open-ended tasks requiring students to creatively integrate knowledge... Teachers need to acquire strong technology skills and skills to use technology as effective teaching tools, both to optimize the use of digital resources in their teaching and to use information-management systems to track student learning Singapore’s Future Schools, encourage innovation and enterprise in teaching practice and flexible learning environments with special emphasis on using technology In Singapore, teachers are encouraged to be lifelong learners and are part of professional learning communities in which teachers can learn from each other and improve their practice In Finland, teachers’ time is matched to students’ needs – and this isn’t always class time Sweden introduced curriculum-embedded assessments that avoid the pitfalls of teacher-designed assessments. The are available 'on demand' and designed, administered and scored locally The Le@rning Federation is a major digital content project for schools in New Zealand and Australia The UK's Sinnott Fellowship funds the work of outstanding teachers who create innovative links between the school and the community to improve student aspirations and outcomes New Zealands Best Evidence Synthesis Programme is a government brokerage agency through which effective R&D has leveraged effective classroom practice for diverse learners Finland’s highly-educated teaching workforce receives a solid base of education theory and is able to apply that to their practice as student teachers, with the support of mentors and team teachers ...but over the last decade Japan has seen the greatest improvement in PISA in this area among all high-performing nations.

Andreas Schleicher, OECD but education doesn't automatically
translate into better outcomes
because skills have an increasing impact on labour market outcomes and social participation
because failure to ensure a good skills match has both short- term consequences (skills shortages) and longer-term effects on economic growth and equality of opportunities Understanding what skills drive economic and social outcomes Governments build strong skills systems and effective partnerships with
key stakeholders to find sustainable approaches to who should
pay for what, when and where Learning the right mix of skills in effective, equitable and efficient ways Economies and labour-markets fully utilize their skill potential
Success with converting skills into jobs and growth depends on whether... ...Skills change lives... ...and drive economies Why direct measures are so important Skills have become the currency
of 21st century economies OECD Japan Japan OECD PISA 2006 - 2009 Fostering demand-sensitive and relevant learning involving employers Compared to purely government-designed curricula taught in exclusively school-based systems, learning in the workplace offers important advantages Fostering lifelong skills-oriented learning instead of qualifications-focused education upfront in life course The kind of things that are easy to test and teach
are disappearing fastest Learning a place
Public vs. private
Culture as obstacle
Standardisation Learning an activity

Culture as capital
