Ecosistemes educatius 360: territoris connectats per l’equitat és el títol de la Jornada Anual de l’Aliança Educació 360, una aliança promoguda per la Fundació Jaume Bofill, la Diputació de Barcelona i la Federació de Moviments de Renovació Pedagògica de Catalunya. En aquesta jornada es vol reflexionar sobre com els ecosistemes educatius locals poden fer que l’educació sigui una veritable palanca de canvi i de millora per l’equitat.  Algunes de les qüestions que vertebren les diferents activitats del programa són: Quines són les principals barreres que cal superar per incrementar les oportunitats educatives per tothom? Quines polítiques, accions i estratègies són efectives a nivell [...]

What (and where) is the ‘learning’ when we talk about learning in the home?

In trying to address the vexed challenge of theorizing learning transfer to make sense of how we learn across social contexts and what learning might mean in more informal domestic circumstances, Stevens and his colleagues offer a series of detailed studies of gaming in the home (Stevens, Satwicz, & McCarthy, 2008). In this report Sefton-Green talk about this work. For him, they argue that we need to look at the “dispositions and purposes” that people bring with them to experiences and then consider “what people make of experiences in other times and places in their lives” (pp. 63–64). Learning, they suggest, [...]

The Opportunities for Choice

 (Click on the image) The goal of providing more choice is to move from being participants of learning to become self-directed, independent learners with agency. It is about teachers and learners changing mindsets and having “can do” attitudes. This takes time and a process for both teachers and learners. When you acquire the skills needed for advocacy and innovation, learners automatically take more responsibility for their learning. The more choices learners make on their own will give them the skills to advocate for what they are passionate about and become more innovative about how they discover their purpose for learning. The [...]

“Connected learning seeks to integrate three spheres of learning that are often disconnected and at war with each other in young people’s lives: peer culture, interests, and academic content. For Youth who are alienated from formal educational institutions, peer culture and interests can provide alternative avenues into connected learning experiences”.

 (Click on the image) http://kathleenmcclaskey.com/voice/ Voice gives learners a chance to share their opinions about something they believe in. We adapted the Continuum of Voice chart we used from research from Toshalis and Nakkula at the Students at the Center in our post Learner Voice Demonstrates Commitment to Building Agency. We added examples that illustrate each level to support implementation using a design by Sylvia Duckworth. The learning environment changes as you encourage voice and can see learners taking more control of their learning. This occurs across the Stages of Personalized Learning Environments (PLE). Continuum of VoiceTM by Barbara Bray and [...]
