Digital Technologies:
technology as an enabler for transformations
worthy to be used when it enables the provision of
learning experiences that would not have been possible
without the digital technologies

Digital Technologies as an enabler for
incremental or disruptive transformations
to the way that individuals, groups and organizations
“learn” and the way to “assess” learning in the 21st Century
Objectives: From acquiring new “knowledge” to develop new and relevant “competences”
Methods: From “classroom” based teaching to “context-aware” personalized learning
Assessment: From “life-long” degrees and certifications to “on-demand” and “in-context” accreditation of qualifications

Opening Up Education - Aspects of Openness
Open Curriculum: learners can mix educational resources, learning activities, and/or educational courses for different disciplines to meet their needs. This places learners in charge of their own learning and ensures that they will learn what they need to meet their personal desires and requirements.
Open Learning: teachers, experts and/or peers can share new ideas and new understanding during the learning process. This provides learners with opportunities for self-determined and independent learning.
Open Assessment: instead of formal evaluation of learning results, previously led by accredited education providers, assessment of what learners have learned can be carried out by their teachers, others and peers during the learning process via peer to peer or crowd-sourced assessment with on-demand accreditation for learners.
Open Platform: cloud–based provision and the use of open standards make it easier for different platforms and services to exchange information and data

Huge amounts of public funds have been invested all over the world on purchasing and installing technologies in schools – tremendous investments in infrastructure
However, limited investments have been planned and implemented in systematically developing, assessing and recognizing the essential digital competences for school
teachers and leaders – limited investments in human resources development
This has led to limited educational added-value and the lack of transformative impact at school education …

Although, the systematic development, assessment and recognition of appropriate educationally meaningful
digital competences for both school teachers and leaders is recognized as a major element for the up-take of technology-supported and technology-enabled school
innovations at large scale
Still, both Initial and Continuing School Teachers and Leaders Education are predominately traditional both in terms of scope, methods and assessment in many parts
of the World

Furthermore, it is assumed
that all in-service teachers are able to design and implement technology-supported and technology-enabled school
innovations using a wide range of digital technologies for teaching and assessing their students within the national
curricula with limited additional professional development
that all schools share more or less the same level of educationally relevant digital competences (“e-Maturity”) at

Globally, large-scale national initiatives are being implemented towards promoting the level and quality of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) use in school education.
However, despite these efforts, the current level of ICT uptake at school level remains low.
A wide range of factors have been identified as barriers, including lack of teachers' ICT Competences and lack of ICT infrastructure.
Typically, these barriers are tackled separately without taking into consideration the ecosystemic nature of schools as organizations.
We propose that a holistic approach on School Digital Competence based on combining both individual Teachers' and School Leaders’ ICT Competences and School’s e-Maturity is needed.

Research Challenge
Educational Decision Support Systems at School Level
based on the unique profile of each school ecosystem
Supported by a cloud-based multi-stake platform that collects and analyses educational data at large scale.
This approach moves forward the traditional perception of “one-size-fits-all” from a school level perspective, treating individual schools as unique educational organisation entities.

Our related research: Recommender Systems for Education • Dynamic Elicitation of ICT Competence-based Teacher Profiles based on
their usage patterns (e.g., learning resource views, ratings, bookmarks) within Learning Object Repositories [1]
• Personalised ICT Competence-based Learning Resource Recommendations to Teachers based on their unique ICT-CP towards focused recommendation of appropriate Learning Resources [2]

Added value / Anticipated Benefits of our research • Dynamic elicitation of teachers’ ICT Competence Profiles based on their
usage patterns within Learning Object Repositories (e.g., ODS)
o More dense (quantity) automatically generated data (manual input of teachers’ ICT-CP not required)
o More “credible” (quality) data (data are elicited from teachers’ actions, not self opinion – a common problem in literature)
• Personalized learning resource recommendations for educational scenario design, based on the unique ICT competences of each teacher
o More accurate recommendations than traditional methods
o Based on identifying neighborhoods of teachers with similar levels of ICT Competences with inter- or intra- school communities.

Builds on top of the Open Discovery Space Technical Infrastructure
Emphasizes on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education
Adopts Inquiry-based Teaching (the 5E Model) to cultivate problem solving competence
A widely accepted framework for assessing students’ problem solving competence is PISA 2012 Problem Solving Framework
However, PISA 2012 problem solving competence assessment is summative and disconnected from the school science teaching practice.

Ideally, we need “systems” for
(a) Students to receive immediate feedback during the process of developing their individual problem solving competence within the phases of the inquiry cycle, and
(b) Teachers to adapt their designed lesson plans and/or educational scenarios, so as to support their students in the process of developing their individual problem solving competences + teachers to receive concrete evidence about students’ performance on problem solving competence and clearly link them to their science teaching practices towards reflection and remedy.
