Approach and Methodology : Multiple perspectives Teacher survey: 18,000 interviews 60 research studies: 22 countries Policy survey: 30 Correspondents School survey: 255 respondents Birmingham UK

25 case studies: 13 countries www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

19


Impact on learners /1: Knowledge, skills and competences • Use of ICT at home does not necessarily relate to • Teachers are positive education purposes. • ICT supports competence development • ICT helps children understand better • Correlation with PISA results (home and school ICT use • ICT improves support for individual needs provides better achievements in some disciplines – sciences). • Main issue concerns the relation to knowledge – access to information via ICT does not necessarily •Learners may lack basic computer skills access to knowledge. •mean Discrepancy between home and school ICT access

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

20


Impact on learners /2: Motivation, confidence and engagement in learning • More motivated and attentive • Positive attitude and engagement • Impact on group processes and collaborative learning •Learning environment out of school has developed. • Overcome low motivation, social diversity and disengagement • It now implies that the relation to knowledge building is changing • Learners participate more actively • Guided enquiry-based tasks are motivating • Learning inside and outside of school • Parental engagement www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

21


Impact on teachers : ICT is pedagogically under-used

• Used more for administration, organisation and

planning • Lack of pedagogical vision • Lack of integration of ICT in each subject prevents new pedagogical approaches

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

22


EUN – ACER netbook project What does the Acer-EUN pedagogical netbook pilot entail?

www.netbooks.eun.org


Six countries participating

www.netbooks.eun.org

24


Objectives of the netbook project Understanding and documenting how learners and teachers can use netbooks in various educational contexts:

Place in school vs. out of school use

Context individual vs. collaborative use

Purpose educational vs. leisure use of such practices

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

25


What will teachers do Plan a pedagogical project where teachers and pupils use netbooks in an educational context

Activities of Teachers

Designing pedagogical scenarios for future use Participate in an online Community of practice for teachers, and other relevant online events. Provide detailed feedback on teachers and students experience www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

26


Possible pedagogical scenarios Using existing digital learning resources

Creating new pedagogical resources

Collaborative activities within schools (of # countries)

Using netbooks to connect to the school VLEs

Using netbooks to work with Interactive White Boards

Using netbooks for communication between schools and parents

Class project 2 or more teachers Cross Curricular approach

Teacher creates single project

Context School vs home Individual vs collaborative

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

27


Pre Pilot and full deployment phases 10 classes per country = 60 classes in total 5 teachers per class = 50 teachers/country Pre Pilot Total of 300 teachers involved

January to June 2010 50 classes per country = 300 classes in total 5 teachers per class = 250 teachers/country Full Deployment

Total of 1500 teachers involved

September 2010 to June 2011

Around 10 000 Netbooks and 1 500 notebooks distributed www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

36


Learning Resource Exchange - LRE • 140,000 learning resources/assets from 25 content providers including 19 MoE • Open educational resources with Creative Commons licenses that ‘travel well’ • Not a centralised portal… but a framework that supports semantic and technical interoperability of content repositories http://lreforschools.eun.org


Situation MST of MST in Education challenges Attractiveness in Europe for MST studies (difficult, image, ‌.)

3 Main Issues

Career prospects (compared to other sectors)

New pedagogical approaches

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

38


4 KEY FACTORS •Highly qualified and well trained teachers. Motivated and recognised teachers

•Recognition of teacher profession (MST). •In service training of teachers.

•Target the formal education system and embed actions in the curriculum.

Innovative pedagogy and creative curriculum

•Provide teachers with new content, tools and pedagogical approaches (access to new learning resources). •Provide examples of transferable good practice.

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

39


4 KEY•Platform FACTORS for exchange of practices •Peer exchange + peer learning approaches Role and engagement of industry

•Better information to teachers on what exists, on what industry offers, etc. •Access to industrial facilities and company research labs and virtual facilities? •We need better role models

A shift in the demand side

•MST teachers should be aware of career opportunities •Role to be played by guidance counselors •Better information policy (MST career Portals). www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

43


iTEC proposal A call to address Learning in the 21st Century…. (TEL Call – FP 7 – DG research)

Large-scale pilots for the design of the future classroom (exploring both technology and teaching practices). www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

44


iTEC proposal Research should address

Innovation in learning and teaching

Underlining change processes

New summative and formative assessment methods

Novel solutions supporting the active participation of a wider community of stakeholders

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

45


Some iTEC assumptions 1

School will continue to be the key location where learning (including mentoring and assessment) takes place

2

We need to engage learners in schools

3

Learning in schools will increasingly involve stakeholders outside the school

4

It will become less acceptable to require pupils to ‘power down’ in schools www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

46


ICT in Classrooms Tools and services supporting learning are likely to be fairly small, autonomous applications

Unsure how the VLE or learning platform will evolve? Increasing interest in new, interactive multi-touch, technologies (IWB technologies and beyond) Smart – Promethean iTEC partners

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

47


iTEC approach Scenarios of future classroom

High Reactivity

Scaling up

Teachers centred

Multistakeholder - MoE, Innovative teachers, Industry partners, other stakeholders

Rapid prototyping of applications and learning activities matching the scenarios

Large-scale pilots - 15 MoE - >1,000 classes

How teachers can more easily select and combine relevant technology components (beyond Web 2.0) tailored to the future classroom scenario of their choice www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

48


Mainstreaming iTEC scenarios Living Lab

Policy makers and commercial ICT suppliers can rethink and test designs for the future classroom

High level Group

Includes the formation of a high-level group of ‘decision shapers’ from 15 MoE

Educational reform processes

Will help ensure that iTEC results feed into the educational reform process at both national and European level

www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org

49


Conclusion - Timeframe A 50 years old teacher transmits to his pupils (who will use them in 10 – 15 years) knowledge that he/she has acquired 25/30 years ago. The communication period of the knowledge is therefore of 40 years, which means twice longer than any period which measures the key transformations of our society www.europeanschoolnet.org - www.eun.org
