What future for education?

313 个评分

Through this course you will start to critically examine your own ideas about education, teaching and learning. The critique will be developed through engagement with theories and ideas developed through educational research. You will be encouraged to use these ideas to challenge or support your own ideas about education. Each week we will focus on one key question, using video lectures, key readings and challenges to explore some commonplace notions about education. With the guidance of the course team, you will be asked to use these ideas to critically reflect on your own understandings and experience. By the end of the course, you will have developed a personal response to the main question: what is your preferred future for education?

What future for education?

In this final week of the course, we return to the question that started it all off: what future for education? The content is a little different this week, but the structure should be familiar to you.

So this is the last week of the course.

Congratulations for making it this far.

We're going to do things slightly differently this week.

In previous weeks, you've had the opportunity to listen to many of

my colleagues talk about their research, talk about their ideas, and

we've looked at a variety of perspectives through their eyes.

This week we're going to go a little bit wider.

We're going to go outside of the Institute of Education and

we're going to look at some Ted Talks.

If you haven't heard of Ted Talks before you can go onto the website and

you can find out a little bit more about them.

We've chosen, especially selected for you, some Ted Talks that are about education.

Here, we've got some people who've got an idea that they want to

promote about how education should be in the future.

And what we'd like you to do this week is to watch those Ted talks and

to engage with those ideas but in a critical manner.

What do I mean by critical?

Well, what we would like you to do this week is to look at those talks, watch them

through, and try to distinguish between the slick presentation of the talks and

the content that's within them.

What is it that the people are saying?

What are their ideas about education?

And most importantly, what do they think is the future for education?

So, that's the key idea that we're working with this week.

What future for education.

The main activity is for you to watch and engage with those talks.

We've got some questions for

you in the discussion forum that we'd like you to deal with.

But ultimately, what we want you do to this week is to

engage with your ideas of what you think the future of education should look like.

You can build on all of the content from the 6 weeks of, we've already looked at.

You can engage with those ideas, select your favorite and

you can also bring in ones of your own too.

If you like the Ted talks, then of course we'd love for you to discuss those too.

If you want to be critical of those, it would be really interested in your ideas.

So, that’s it from us this week.

I really hope that you’ve enjoyed the course.

I really how that you have enjoyed engaging with these ideas, and

that you have been challenged by them.

I really hope that you have gained an idea what you

think the future of education should be.

Thank you.
