New Learning and Teaching Practices – how to measure and support them Some theory and some Examples

New Learning Practices

Page 5: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Estonian Lifelong Learning Strategy - “A change in the approach to learning”

- learning how to learn - learning how to solve problems - collaborative learning - creativity - entrepreneurship

- “Improving the Access to a Digital Infrastructure for Learning”

- Contributing to a Digital Turn in Education

Page 6: 2016-04-06 research seminar

What are these New Teaching and Learning Practices? Collaborative, creative, problem-based learning 4Why?

- Meaningful and social activity in formal education - Societal problems require innovation and creativity - Faster reaction and appropriation of innovation - Jobs change quickly, it is not enough to learn once and then

built on it a liftetime 4Why not?

- There is no “one-size fits all” pedagogy

Page 7: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Example: Vocational Training in the Construction Industry Trainers Collaborate on Creating Learning Resources

Embedding Learning into Workplaces

Apprentices contribute to Learning Resources Extending Learning

to the Companies

Some Theory

Page 9: 2016-04-06 research seminar

New Teaching and Learning Practices Behaviors, attitudes, personal theories ... ... all part of it, but it is more complex

- the object of activity - tool-mediated - embedded in a culture

- Tight coupling with our social and material environment serving an object of activity

Tools have an intentionality

Villemard, 1910: À l' École, Bibliotèque national de France http://expositions.bnf.fr/utopie/grand/3_95b1.htm

Page 11: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Shared Tools and Artefacts - Individual: Cognition

- How our cognition and learning is mediated by use of tools and artefacts

- Team: Collaborative learning - How a shared artefact becomes the object of activity

- Organisation - How shared artefacts become means for organisational

learning and change

Page 12: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Why digital tools and artefacts? - Malleable representation, circulating reference (Latour), inscription of meaning (Verbert), reification (Wenger)

- Tracing of practices and activities, leaving digital traces

- Opens up collaboration across time and space - Opens up possibilities of change

Page 13: 2016-04-06 research seminar

What are the consequences for research and practice? - Measuring practices & Learning Analytics

- Considering holistic activities and activity systems - Tools that mediate activity, artefacts created in collaborative

activity - Getting closer to “real-world” practices (classroom and out

of classroom) - Looking at history and development over time

- Instigating Change & Educational Innovation - co-design and organizational change

Learnmix: Practices of Using Textbooks in Schools - Rapid Ethnography

- 5 schools, 16 lessons, grades 4-12 - Questions

- Digital artefacts and their use in the classroom - Pedagogical scenarios, knowledge building

- Findings - Digital artefacts merely replace traditional tools (like

blackboard) - No innovative knowledge building scenarios

Page 20: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Learnmix: Practices of Using Textbooks in Schools - Outcome

- taxonomy for co-authorship levels of artifacts (consume, annotate, manipulate, submit, expand, remix, create)

- develop innovative 5 learning scenarios, in which learner is given a role of being an active digital artefact creator/designer

How Healthcare professionals take up innovation

Two practice staff visit a NHS training on a new guideline for dementia

Staff collect materials from training and further research for their revalidation

Other staff ask questions

about the guideline

Material and questions evolve into a local implementation

plan for the practice

Other regional practices and the CSU join the effort to learn about implementation problems and practices

How is learning happening in these environments? - Focus in the Cognitive Sciences has long been on the mind as an autonomous information processor

- How can cognition be modeled as being coupled with our social and material environment?

Page 30: 2016-04-06 research seminar

How is learning happening in these environments? - Empirical studies in field experiments in the classroom and multiagent simulations

- Individual learning tightly coupled to social processes of meaning making

- Processes of convergence and divergence - How available and actionable is the knowledge that is acquired?

- Creation of agents who autonomously learn individual learning history and make recommendations

Evaluation of Educational Research in Estonia (2007-11) - “Whilst the breadth [of research] is impressive, the Evaluation Panel recommends a focus on greater depth in the next few years.”

- International research funding and high impact publications

- “educational research at Tallinn University still appears rather fragmented … the Evaluation Panel recommends to promote focus and coherence in educational research”

- Creation of larger interdisciplinary research teams

Page 34: 2016-04-06 research seminar

CEITER is building Research Infrastructure - Goals

- increase your chances of research funding - increase your chances to get good Ph.D. Students - increase your chances to get a higher visibility

- How to achieve those goals - More systematic approach and capacity to apply for

research funding and conduct projects - Improve Ph.D. training and funding for doctoral schools - Aligning and synergizing research at the University - Smart investment into infrastructure and labs - Build strategic partnerships with stakeholders in Estonia

and abroad

Page 35: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Some concrete steps - Ph.D. Preschool at the School of Educational Science and the School of Digital Technologies

- Building up training for applying for and running H2020 projects targeted at researchers (not administrators)

- A vision for CEITER after 2020

Page 39: 2016-04-06 research seminar

Wrapping up - Learning and teaching is happening in activity systems where individuals are tightly coupled with their social and material environment

- Educational Innovation is a systemic process that spans several levels of analysis

- Digital technology brings an opportunity - to trace new learning practices - to instigate innovation in education

- We are all CEITER
