Some general ‘wisdom’

• ICT is means, not goal in itself

• Our society has transformed from an industrial society into an information or knowledge society

=> Has consequences for education and for how schools function and teachers teach

• In 21st century our perception of what is ‘good’ education has to change – this pertains to all components of the teaching-learning (T/L) process

Did you know? 3.0 – 2009 Edition (YouTube)

• The projected top ten in demand jobs in 2010 did not exist in 2004 (US Secr o Educ)

• ‘we are currently preparing students for jobs that do not exist, where they will use technologies that haven’t been invented yet to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet’

• Reported bout Google that: in 2006 up to 2.7billion searches/monthnow: 31 billion searches/month!

ELFE2 090914 10

Curriculum perspective‘Sources’: student – subject - society

Knowledge economy – Information society:Knowledge no longer primarily knowing facts

and theories and being able to reproduce them

(‘old’ knowledge – reproductive skills)BUT: ability to find relevant data and to derive

meaning from it (lifelong learning skills) (‘new’ knowledge – productive skills)

Page 11: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 11

Lifelong learning skills:

In new circumstances, being able • to generate and evaluate answers to

open, non-standardized questions, • to set own learning goals,• to plan and regulate own learning• to evaluate own progress

Need for analytical, creative and synthesizing skills

Page 12: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 12

’21st Century’ skills(ATC21Skills project)

I. Ways of thinking1. Creativity and Innovation2. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving,

Decision Making3. Learning to LearnII. Ways of working4. Communication5. Collaboration (Teamwork)

III. Tools for working

6. Information Literacy (includes research)

7. ICT Literacy

IV. Living in the world

8. Citizenship – Local and Global

9. Life and Career

10. Personal & Social Responsibility – incl. Cultural Awareness and Competence

Page 14: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 14

Implications for education:

- Other balance needed between ‘old’ and ‘new’

- enable learners to become more active and make them more responsible for arranging their own learning process

- teachers becoming more ‘professional coaches’

Page 15: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 15

Emerging pedagogical practices for information society

(Voogt & Pelgrum, 2003)

1. New goals: students become competent in information management, communication, and collaboration, and metacognition.

2. Less structured sources of information as learning materials.

3. Traditional boundaries between subjects to be bridged

Page 16: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 16

Emerging pedagogical practices for information society (contd)

4. Gap between discipline-related knowledge taught in schools and application of knowledge in real life to be bridged

5. Boundaries between the school and outside world need to fade.

=> More focus on needs of individual learners

=> Other ways of assessment: more open, more formative

Page 17: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 17

Obvious role of ICT in realizing new vision on teaching and learning:

- as a general tool (e.g. word processing), - as digital learning resources (e.g. tutorials, simulations, web-based materials, digital encyclopedia, etc), - as network and communication tools (e.g. internet browser, email software),-as digital tools (e.g. microcomputer based laboratories, statistical tools, accounting-bookkeeping software) - as production tools

Page 18: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 18

No neglect of ‘old’ knowledge’:what has traditionally been valued as important knowledge and skills

BUT

schools should reflect a good balance between what is traditionally valued and what is considered important in the information society.

Page 19: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 19

Possible shifts in pedagogy (adapted from Pelgrum et al., 1997; Pelgrum, 2001)

Less MoreSchool Isolated from society Integrated in society

Most information on school functioning confidential

Information openly available

Teacher Initiator of instruction Helps students find appropriate instruct path

Whole class teaching Guides students’ independent learning

Evaluates student Helps student to evaluate own progress

Places low emphasis on communication skills

Places high emphasis on communication skills

Page 20: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 20

Possible shifts in pedagogy (contd)(adapted from Kozma et al., 1999)

Less MoreStudent Mostly passive More active

Learns at school Learns also outside school

Hardly any teamwork Much teamwork

Takes questions from books or teachers

Asks questions OR generates them (projects)

Learns answers to questions

Finds answers to questions

Learning outcomes

Emphasis on reproductive skills

Emphasis on productive skills

Page 21: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 21

Change perspective

From study ELFE 1:

Policies on pedagogical innovation using ICT often only partially implemented!

Fullan (2007):

Real innovation is multi-dimensional

Page 22: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 22

Dimensions of innovation/change:

(1) new materials: e.g. computers, educational software, open source materials, etc,

(2) new teaching approaches: e.g. students working more independent of the teachers, often in small groups on projects with the teacher in a different role

(3) new beliefs about what is good education: e.g. assumptions about what should be taught and about what are appropriate methods.

Page 23: ELFE2 0909141 On ICT in education: some perspectives Tjeerd Plomp (professor emeritus) University of Twente Enschede, the Netherlands Bled (Slv), 14-15.

ELFE2 090914 23

Change is process, not an event!

- Not reasonable to expect schools and teachers to change at ‘a point in time’

- Schools may introduce step-by-step new elements in their curriculum and pedagogical approaches

- Different schools may decide for different emphases and priorities!

“There are many ways leading to Rome”

ELFE2 090914 26

(i) Assessment and teaching of 21st Century skills

Why?- Profound economic and social changes

require new skills- Many initiatives have focused these 21st

Century skills BUT:Lack connection between 21st C classroom

practices and national and international assessments.

Growing consensus on what 21st C skills are but little agreement on measurable definitions.

There are many methodological and technological issues that need to be addressed.

Few conclusions on projects:

- It is good to have - apart from national initiatives - a number of international/global projects

- 21st century skills linked with ICT: not only to teach, but also to assess

- EU and USA project on indicators for ICT in education ‘talk’ to each other and will suggest ‘clients’ to communicate => one common set of indicators

Research questions

1. What are the pedagogical practices adopted in schools and how is ICT used in them?

2. What ICT is used and how is it used in specific situations where ICT has been employed relatively extensively within a pedagogical practice

3. What teacher, school, community and system factors are associated with different pedagogical practices and ICT-use?

Pendulum swing - DenmarkBryderup, Larson & Trentel (2009):- 2003 policy: considerable increase in control

of what is learnt in compulsory school: goals per subject per grade level

- 2006: introd of natl tests for subject skills and knowledge => in school culture with increased focus on assessment

=> support traditional paradigm - in spite of the fact that the teachers in 2006

claimed to subscribe to aims and values equally related to the two paradigms, the traditional paradigm was dominant in the actual teaching and learning.

Pendulum swing - Denmark

Bryderup, Larson & Trentel (2009):

Case of DEN illustrates that use of ICT does not automatically foster a paradigm in line with the needs of the knowledge society.

Especially if the ‘system level’ environment induces other ‘forces’.

Personal entrepreneurship of teachers

Based on two manifest variables:- communication/interaction: degree

of having contacts with colleagues (inside/outside) about use of ICT

- utilizing professional network: # of organizations/persons from which teacher educator gets support in using ICT

“amount of contacts (inside/outside) initiated by teacher educator for own professional development in pedagogical use of ICT”

Personal entrepreneurship of teachers

- Has direct influence on ‘innovative use of ICT’

Also indirect influence, as PET has direct influence on other important factors:

- ICT attitude- Pedagogical approach- ICT competence

Personal entrepreneurship of teachers

NOTE: PET is directly influenced by internal support structure:

- support from management,

- availability of pedag and technical support

So:

the school’s support and the school’s stimulation of personal entrepreneurship can make an important contribution to the realisation of innovative use of ICT.

Concluding comments

- Education nowadays has to pay attention to 21st century skills – balance between ‘old’ and ‘new’ needed!

- Curriculum perspective essential (see spiderweb)

- ICT use alone does not lead to ‘other’ education

- The research discussed shows the relevance of certain school and teacher factors

=> National policies need to reflect these points and to ‘encourage’ schools to be of ‘our time’!

Further:- Link in discussions about ICT the

use/integration with a pedagogical model – ‘patterns of ICT use’

- Crucial role of school leaders and teachers to realise 21st C education

Finally: change is a process

Balance needed between ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’

‘Top down’: direction + facilitation

‘Bottom up’: space for entrepreneurship

Process of: ‘new’ that gets a place in balance with the ‘old’!

This needs to be reflected at both levels: system and school
