Key  statement  that  led  to  GEF  California  Forum  

An0cipated  transi0on  from  ‘factory  systems’  to  learner-­‐centered  communi0es  that  support  ‘lifelong  learning  

everywhere  all  the  0me’  is  the  biggest  challenge  ever  in  the  history  of  educa0on.    

 Many  progressive  global  players  already  invest  into  this  

transi0on,  including  major  technology  companies,  governments  of  OECD  countries,  venture  capitalists  and  

interna0onal  social  movements    

Our  ques0on  is:  what  are  the  produc0ve  strategies  of  different  players  that  support  &  enhance  this  scenario?

Towards  learner-­‐centered  lifelong  learning    

We  explore  main  changes  in  educa0on  driven  by  technological  innova0ons,  major  social  &  economic  transforma0ons,  changes  in  demand  for  skills,  and  rise  of  personal  &  collec0ve  educa0onal  formats  that  meet  needs  of  learners  in  21st  century  

From  ‘knowns’  to  ‘unknowns’  

This  Forum  is  a  collec0ve  explora0on,  a  learning  lab  It  is  not  to  seek  expert  opinion  but  to  co-­‐create  Our  main  outcomes  are:  •  Shared  vision  for  the  future  of  global  educa0on,  

and  •  Projects  of  systemic  innova0on  inspired  by  

collec0ve  vision

Industrial  society  /    economy  

Knowledge  based  economy  

Wisdom  based  society  

SocieQes  in  transiQon  

1.  The  main  challenges  and  existen0al  threats  of  modern  civiliza0on  are  endogenous  to  the  society.  The  bobleneck  of  civiliza0onal  development  is  the  ability  of  governing  structures  (including  culture  &  domina0ng  thinking  models)  to  process  the  accelerated  increase  of  social  /  technological  /  environmental  complexity    

2.  Knowledge  based  economy,  shicing  aben0on  from  mass  manufacturing  of  material  goods  to  mass  produc0on  of  knowledge,  does  not  resolve  the  ‘ills’  of  industrial  society,  including  the  imbalance  between  the  society  &  nature.  In  order  to  cope  with  future  challenges,  it  is  necessary  to  transit  to  wisdom  based  society,  where  wisdom  (as  “fundamental  pragma0cs  of  life”  (Baltes,  Staudinger,  2000))  drives  decision-­‐making  of  individuals  and  collec0ves.    

Economies  directly  based  on  the  produc0on,  distribu0on  and  use  of  knowledge  and  informa0on  (OECD,  1996)  

Society  based  on  (collec0ve)  wisdom  for  common  good,  alongside  with  new  models  of  produc0on  &  sharing  

Economy  and  society  dominated  by  mass-­‐produc0on  manufacturing  based  on  intensifying  division  of  labor

‘New’  educaQon  rises  within  and  outside  tradiQonal  educaQon  system  in  response  to  growing  demand  from  transforming  socieQes  

Educa0on  spills  out  of  tradi0onal  ins0tu0ons  and  leads  to  the  rise  of  ‘new’  (network-­‐based)  

educa0on  

Increasing  complexity  of  socio-­‐technical  systems  

(incl.  VUCA*  environments)  redefines  demand  for  new  skills  &  

knowledge  

Low  flexibility  of  exis0ng  ins0tu0ons  Lack  of  epistemology  required  to  cope  with  21st  century  challenges  

Technological  enablers:  •  Mobility  &  connec0vity  •  Automa0on  (Big  Data  /

What  happens  to  skills  &  knowledge  required  in  increasingly  complex  socie0es:  •  Lifecycle  of  specific  skill  /  knowledge  shortens,  hence  it  becomes  less  important  

than  the  ability  to  learn  /  relearn  /  unlearn  •  Knowledge  becomes  situated  and  collec0vely  constructed,  thus  specific  skills  

become  less  relevant  than  meta-­‐skills  necessary  to  construct  knowledge,  including  communica0on,  crea0vity,  diversity  of  thinking  styles  etc.  

•  Abili0es  for  self-­‐guided  ac0on  become  more  important  than  abili0es  to  follow  externally  guided  ac0on  (hence  we  an0cipate  a  genera0on  of  Self  Guided  Learners  that  will  use  tools  of  ‘new’  educa0on)  

What  happens  to  systems  that  transfer  skills  &  knowledge:  •  Shic  from  ‘educa0on  as  prepara0on  for  life’  to  ‘lifelong  con0nuous  educa0on’  •  Shic  from  educa0on  within  a  specific  ins0tu0on  (school  /  university)  to  

‘distributed’  educa0on  within  an  ecosystem  

What  growth  of  complexity  may  imply  for  systems  that  transfer  skills  &  knowledge

‘More  of  the  same’:  increasing  economic  efficiency  /  produc0vity  /  compe00veness  in  21  century  

Key  discussions:  educa0on  is  broken  but  could  be  fixed  by  introducing  beber  pedagogies  /  ed  tech    &  new  curriculum  

Key  discussions:  new  models  of  educa0on  that  should  complement  exis0ng  ones  (e.g.  urban  learning  communi0es)  

‘Rebuilding  urban  civilizaQon’:  focusing  on  life  quality  &  social  impact  (e.g.  Sharing  Economy,  Scharmer’s  Capitalism  4.0,  Florida’s  ‘Reinven0ng  Ci0es’  etc.)  

Key  discussions:  how  can  educa0on  help  us  reinvent  our  rela0onship  between  ourselves,  with  our  ancestors  /  descendants,  and  with  our  planet    

‘CivilizaQonal  transit’:  focusing  on  emerging  social  prac0ces  that  help  us  recognize  ourselves  as  a  truly  planetary  species  (e.g.  Macy’s  Great  Turning,  Eisenstein’s  More  Beau0ful  World  etc.)

blended,  and  online  learning?  How  will  new  models  of  learning  change  tradi0onal  schooling  structures  and  the  older  model  of  teacher/student  rela0on?  

•  How  are  the  internet,  the  social  web,  video  games,  and  other  forms  of  gamifica0on  changing  the  educa0onal  ecosystem  on  a  local  and  world  scale?  

•  How  can  families,  educators,  policy  makers,  and  school  leaders  use  technology  to  create  learning  opportuni0es  that  are  both  personalized  and  collabora0ve  in  design  and  nature?

Key  trends  that  shape  the  future  of  GLPs  Spreading  of  technology  enabled  ‘new’  educaQon  through  GLPs:  •  At  the  moment,  online  learning  is  considered  complimentary  and  experience-­‐enhancing  as  compared  

to  face-­‐to-­‐face  learning.  This  idea  con0nues  to  encourage  more  schools  &  universi0es  to  adopt  blended  learning  in  their  curriculum  &  create  blended-­‐learning  friendly  classrooms.  The  most  important  problem  resolved  by  ‘new’  educa0on  is  the  increased  value  of  0me  for  learners,  teachers  &  administrators.  

•  Gradually,  learning  shics  to  mobile  pla\orms,  detaching  the  learning  process  from  tradi0onal  venues  like  the  classroom  &  university.    

•  Increasingly  costly  face-­‐to-­‐face  educa0on  in  industrialized  countries  is  leading  to  vast  inequali0es  among  students  and  among  broader  popula0on  segments.  Such  dispari0es  could  well  polarize  socie0es  and  encourage  more  and  more  people  and  popula0ons  to  shic  to  GLPs.  

•  Within  15-­‐20  years,  online  learning  (enhanced  by  mobile  connec0vity,  wearable  gadgets  &  augmented  reality  technologies)  may  become  the  dominant  form  of  learning  globally.  

Rise  of  agency-­‐based  online  learning:  •  Project-­‐based  learning  (PBL)  begins  to  dominate  face-­‐to-­‐face  educa0on,  and  will  gradually  be  

adopted  by  GLPs  as  well.  It  will  especially  be  demanded  by  Self-­‐Guided  Learners  (see  Theme  3)  that  prefer  an  ac0ve  exploratory  astude  in  learning  to  passivizing  ‘knowledge  consumer’  astude.  

•  GLPs  can  help  improve  life  on  planetary  scale,  e.g.  incuba0ng  ac0vists  projects  through  project-­‐based  learning.  GLPs  allow  engaging  in  ethical  behavior  for  massive  groups  without  imposing    doctrinal  restric0ons  

•  Also,  GLPs  can  be  used  to  help  rapidly  transfer  new  knowledge  &  skills  to  communi0es  /  socie0es  in  distress  in  crisis  situa0ons  (economy  collapse,  war,  natural  hazard,  environmental  disaster,  etc.).  Over  0me,  GLPs  can  become  essen0al  in  connec0ng  communi0es  across  the  world  that  face  similar  problems  (e.g.  poverty,  crime,  hunger,  etc.)  to  help  cross-­‐community  learning   20  

Page 21: Towards Learner- Centered Lifelong Learningglobaledufutures.org/uploads/files/Results/Towards Learner-Centere… · Towards Learner-Centered Lifelong Learning Results’of’’ Global’Educaon’Futures’California’

Key  trends  that  shape  the  future  of  GLPs  (2)  

Unbundling  /  atomizaQon  of  content  (subtrend):  •  Atomiza0on  allows  learners  to  obtain  content  that  more  precisely  matches  their  interests  &  

development  needs.  Also,  atomiza0on  supports  mobile  delivery  of  content  •  Atomiza0on  challenges  the  posi0on  of  tradi0onal  ‘knowledge  holders’  (i.e.  academia)  

leading  to  conflicts.  IP  rights  and  licensing  might  well  be  used  to  protect  the  posi0on  of  tradi0onal  ins0tu0ons  and  perhaps  further  secure  the  rela0onship  between  tradi0onal  academic  research  ins0tu0ons  and  corpora0ons.  In  this  future  vision,  what  becomes  of  the  users  who  are  ocen  creators  of  content  and  new  forms  and  means  of  knowledge?  

•  Aggrega0on  of  atomized  content  into  searchable  global  library,  curated  topical  collec0ons  &  collabora0ve  structured  discussions  

•  Over  0me,  as  more  knowledge  work  migrates  into  distributed  network  knowledge  crea0on  structures  (see  Theme  2),  this  conflict  will  likely  be  resolved  in  favor  of  GLPs.  As  a  result,  knowledge  comes  to  be  created  by  an  ever  more  vast  number  of  people  yet  is  controlled  or  archived  by  dis0nct  agencies,  pla\orm  creators,  or  service  providers  (such  as  Google,  Minecrac,  and  Wikipedia).  

•  In  such  a  global  society,  what  happens  to  the  largely  western  concep0on  of  ‘liberal  educa0on’  (educa0on  across  many  fields  of  knowledge  &  explora0on)  in  favor  of  more  focused  career  training?  Are  some  forms  of  knowledge  such  as  memoriza0on  displaced  while  other  forms  of  knowledge  such  as  discernment  become  ascendent?

Page 22: Towards Learner- Centered Lifelong Learningglobaledufutures.org/uploads/files/Results/Towards Learner-Centere… · Towards Learner-Centered Lifelong Learning Results’of’’ Global’Educaon’Futures’California’

Rise  of  digital  pedagogy:  •  Digital  pedagogy  (enabled  by  Big  Data  analysis  and  Ar0ficial  Intelligence)  allows  gradual  

customiza0on  (later,  personaliza0on)  of  GLP  content  based  on  learner’s  behavioral  paberns  and  life  strategies  (incl.  career,  health,  etc.).  Within  15-­‐20  years,  it  will  allow  delivery  of  personalized  educa0on  to  every  tech-­‐equipped  learner.  Ques0ons  remain  about  how  personaliza0on  could  well  serve  to  drive  learners  towards  select  kinds  of  informa0on  and  conclusions  based  on  human  biases  or  AI  manipula0on,  inten0onal  or  otherwise.  

•  Global  technology  companies,  as  aggregators  of  personalized  online  behavioral  data,  will  inevitably  play  significant  role  in  future  global  educa0onal  ecosystem.  This  raises  issues  of  priva0za0on,  learner  privacy,  and  social  engineering  on  a  world  scale.  

•  In  collabora0on  with  global  tech  companies,  a  ‘meta-­‐pla\orm’  can  be  created  as  a  consor0um  between  GLPs,  which  will  aggregate  standardized  learners’  data  in  order  to  foster  interoperability  of  GLPs  (recognizing  that  any  fixed  pla\orm  will  be  a  hindrance  to  evolu0on  of  the  ecosystem).  Interoperability  or  a  standard  meta-­‐pla\orm  could  boost  the  personalized  learning  trajectories  of  individuals  and  communi0es  while  suppor0ng  the  development  of  new  online  pedagogies  that  meet  the  needs  of  an  ever  more  diverse  base  of  learners.    

•  Due  to  the  sensi0ve  nature  of  learning  processes,  the  importance  of  educa0on  for  individual  and  societal  advancement,  learners’  interests  must  be  protected  against  abuse  &  manipula0on  by  commerce  &  governments.  To  guard  against  these  possible  viola0ons,  GLPs  and  global  tech  companies  should  adopt  the  Declara0on  of  Learner  Rights  in  the  nearest  future.  Pla\orms  should  build  on  learner’s  interests,  help  make  learning  more  relevant  to  life,  don’t  waste  their  0me  and  give  them  feedback  and  recommenda0ons.  Pla\orms  also  should  allow  room  for  disagreement,  diversity  and  open-­‐mindedness.

Key  trends  shaping  future  of  knowledge  creaQon  

Net-­‐centric  knowledge  organizaQon:  •  Knowledge  work  gradually  moves  from  tradi0onal  ins0tu0ons  (limited  by  physical  space,  

0me  of  work  and  number  of  par0cipa0ng  individuals)  into  network-­‐like  online  knowledge  crea0on  communi0es.  These  communi0es  start  to  build  new  kind  of  ‘knowledge  ecosystem’  (early  prototypes  of  which  are  represented  by  ArXIV,  PLoS  and  Wikipedia)  –  which  will  replace  tradi0onal  ins0tu0ons  of  knowledge  capturing  within  next  15-­‐20  years  

•  Another  key  process  in  this  trend  is  that  knowledge  storage  becomes  increasingly  digital  (hence  “[digital]  code  is  a  new  text”).  An  immediate  consequence  is  that  knowledge  work  based  on  interconnected  &  interoperable  digital  models  of  reality  (e.g.  computa0on  models  of  biological  &  social  systems)  will  create  shared  computa0onal  approaches  for  ‘applied’  knowledge  (used  to  develop  technologies,  solu0ons  &  recommenda0ons)  and  ‘fundamental’  knowledge  (the  way  to  capture  fundamental  rela0ons).  

•  The  speed  of  ‘new’  knowledge  crea0on  model  prolifera0on  will  be  con0ngent  on  how  (obsolete)  ins0tu0ons  of  intellectual  private  property  will  hold.  Wide  adop0on  of  models  such  as  Crea0ve  Commons  will  facilitate  the  transforma0on  of  knowledge  worker  community.

Key  trends  shaping  future  of  knowledge  creaQon  (2)  

Growing  complexity-­‐simplicity  tension:  •  Tension  between  increasingly  complex  knowledge  organiza0on  (required  to  help  guide  

complex  socie0es)  and  barrier  to  complexity  comprehension  will  be  the  main  problem  of  knowledge  work  in  21st  century,  and  thus  simplifica0on  of  knowledge  becomes  a  great  risk.  It  is  necessary  to  seek  methods  that  help  deal  with  this  issue,  by  being  willing  to  embrace  the  complexity,  and  also  by  developing  new  ways  of  sharing  and  developing  shared  understanding  

•  Also,  an  increased  complexity  –  including  increasingly  observable  feedback  from  nature  on  human  ac0on  (including  climate  change  effects  and  massive  destruc0on  of  marine  wildlife)  –  will  call  for  more  sophis0cated  modelling  of  feedback  loops,  especially  in  engineering.  An  already-­‐happening  paradigm  shic  from  technical  to  socio-­‐technical  systems  design  will  be  soon  followed  by  the  next  shic,  towards  natural-­‐socio-­‐technical  systems  design  that  monitors  feedback  loops  in  a  highly  integrated,  real-­‐0me  fashion.  

•  Over  0me,  as  volume  &  complexity  of  available  knowledge  increases,  in  next  10-­‐15  years  AI  will  gradually  take  over  the  role  of  ‘integrator’  that  helps  to  summarize  theore0cal  founda0ons  of  a  discipline  or  the  domina0ng  ‘worldview’.  Within  the  next  10-­‐15  years  acer  that,  a  foreseeable  risk  is  that  knowledge  organiza0on  will  become  totally  incomprehensible  by  any  individual,  or  even  collec0ve,  human  mind.    

•  The  need  for  new  ways  of  ‘knowing’  will  increase

Key  trends  shaping  future  of  knowledge  creaQon  (3)  

Rise  of  AI  assisted  research:  •  Ar0ficial  Intelligence  (AI)  will  play  increasingly  important  role  in  research  work.  AI  will  

become  increasingly  self-­‐organized,  taking  over  not  only  data  analysis  but  also  low-­‐level  programming  work.  As  knowledge  representa0on  becomes  increasingly  digital,  ‘in  silico’  experimen0ng  will  ocen  complement  other  forms  of  research.  

•  AI  will  become  a  fully  func0onal  member  of  research  teams,  helping  to  iden0fy  knowledge  ‘lacunas’  and  generate  research  hypotheses.  

Re-­‐humanizaQon  of  knowledge  work:  •  Knowledge  work  has  long  suffered  from  ‘factory  style’  knowledge  crea0on  processes  

that  alienate  researchers  from  research  interests  &  results.  In  addi0on,  the  dominant  ethics  passivized  studied  ‘objects’  (incl.  animals  &  human  beings)  and  detached  them  from  the  researcher.  In  future  knowledge  crea0on  work,  the  driving  force  will  be  researcher’s  passion  about  the  theme  of  study  –  thus  empathy  becomes  a  key  research  skill.  Adop0on  of  empathic  (mutually  transforming)  rela0on  between  ‘the  one  who  studies’  and  ‘the  one  being  studied’  may  eventually  lead  to  the  rise  of  a  new  epistemology  that  overcomes  the  division  between  the  object  and  the  subject.

How  will  the  future  look  like  for    Knowledge  CreaQon  Models  

•  Open  Source  science  becomes  increasingly  popular.  Knowledge  workers  gradually  migrate  from  tradi0onal  knowledge  crea0on  ins0tu0ons  towards  loosely  organized  network  knowledge  crea0on  communi0es.  

•  AI  starts  playing  increasingly  important  role  in  all  aspects  of  research  process,  from  data  organiza0on  and  model  iden0fica0on  to  experiment  design  and  team  planning.  

•  Soc  skills  of  knowledge  workers  become  increasingly  important,  including  new  ways  of  working  with  complexity  by  crea0ng  means  of  access  to  deeper  shared  understanding  of  complex  systems,  through  honoring  the  process  and  the  person(s)  

•  Human  knowledge  work  focuses  on  more  ‘humanis0c’  aspects  of  cogni0on  that  involve  crea0vity,  passion,  openness,  and  personal  rela0on.  New  ways  of  ‘knowing’  are  on  the  rise      

•  Global  knowledge  ecosystem  replaces  the  significant  share  of  tradi0onal  organiza0on  of  science.  

•  Natural-­‐socio-­‐technical  systems  designs  help  monitor  feedback  loops  in  a  highly  integrated,  real-­‐0me  fashion.  AI  plays  significant  role  in  organiza0on  of  knowledge,  with  risk  of  moving  towards  the  level  beyond  human  comprehension

Key  trends  that  shape  the  future  of    learning  for  emerging  social  pracQces  

ShiZ  of  decision-­‐making  to  students:  student  voice+choice:  •  Recogni0on  of  student  voice  (and  shic  of  decision  making  to  students)  is  one  of  the  main  

transforma0onal  challenges  for  the  secondary  &  ter0ary  educa0on,  to  which  many  administrators,  teachers,  and  families  (and  even  some  students  themselves)  resist.  The  gradual  introduc0on  of  student-­‐led  learning  opportuni0es  is,  however,  inevitable  –  since  we  can  become  ‘learners  for  life’  only  through  the  regular  prac0ce  of  self-­‐guided  learning  (and  the  skill  of  lifelong  learning  becomes  crucial  to  cope  with  21  century  challenges).  

•  Project-­‐based  learning  (PBL)  is  among  one  of  the  highly  efficient  tools  to  ‘ini0ate’  students  into  self-­‐guided  learning  (as  it  is  driven  by  student’s  own  interests  and  choices)  –  and  so  it  will  be  increasingly  applied  across  all  levels  of  educa0on.  Policies  that  encourage  self-­‐guided  learning  (including  regula0ons  that  allow  more  flexible  choice  of  educa0onal  providers)  will  be  widely  adopted  in  countries  with  developed  educa0onal  systems.  

ShiZ  from  tradiQonal  insQtuQons  to  learning  communiQes:  •  Horizontal  /  network-­‐structured  learning  communi0es  start  playing  increasingly  important  role  in  

learning,  offering  programs  &  curriculums  more  relevant  to  student  needs.  Part  of  their  role  for  learners  is  to  unschool,  to  remove  nega0ve  ‘programming’  created  by  ‘industrial  educa0on’.  Learning  communi0es  can  offer  educa0on  centered  around  students’  interests  and  real-­‐world  problems  (i.e.  topic-­‐based  educa0on  instead  of  subject-­‐based).  ‘Unstructuring’  of  exis0ng  schools  can  be  part  of  this  process.  

•  Learning  communi0es  can  be  created  with  a  cause  (e.g.  focused  on  social  ac0vism  or  specific  needs  of  a  local  community),  and  thus  collabora0ve  ac0on  can  guide  the  collec0ve  learning.  While  some  of  this  learning  may  happen  face-­‐to-­‐face,  it  may  also  be  conducted  in  peer-­‐to-­‐peer  online  networks  (also  see  Theme  1).  In  addi0on  to  peer-­‐to-­‐peer  learning,  P2P  mentoring  will  be  an  important  part  of  future  learning  landscape  

32

Growing  demand  for  future  skills:  •   For  self-­‐guided  learners,  it  will  be  crucial  to  build  personalized  long-­‐term  development  

strategies  and  to  obtain  meta-­‐skills  that  will  be  suitable  in  various  professional  and  personal  circumstances.    Among  such  meta-­‐skills  are:    

•  future  awareness  (the  ability  to  understand  variety  of  future  scenarios  and  create  individual  and  collec0ve  strategies);    

•  entrepreneurship  (the  ability  to  ini0ate  &  organize  new  projects,  social  &  commercial  ini0a0ves)  that  should  be  taught  from  the  early  age;    

•  diverse  thinking  methods  for  beber  comprehension  of  complex  problems  (incl.  mathema0cal,  systemic,  ar0s0c,  poe0c  etc.)  

•  mindfulness,  that  should  also  be  taught  from  early  age  &  become  part  of  the  standard  curriculum  

•  and,  among  the  most  important,  various  skills  that  help  maintain  lifelong  physical,  mental  &  social  health  (as  well  as  skills  for  maintaining  personal,  family  &  community  health)  

•  Playifica0on  (as  dis0nguished  from  gamifica0on)  becomes  increasingly  important  in  gesng  skills  of  the  future  as  it  allows  ‘living  through’  studied  topics  instead  of  learning  about  them  (story-­‐dwelling,  not  story-­‐telling)

Key  trends  that  shape  the  future  of    learning  for  emerging  social  pracQces  (3)  

Whole  person  educaQon:  •  In  21  century  educa0on,  limited  focus  of  industrial  educa0on  on  the  development  of  

cogni0ve  abili0es  and  professional  skills  only  will  be  seen  as  highly  deficient.  Instead,  a  call  is  made  to  develop  ‘humane’  abili0es,  including  emo0onal  and  social  intelligence,  crea0vity,  and  skills  that  support  collabora0ve  work.    This  process  will  be  enhanced  by  the  increased  recogni0on  of  irrelevance  of  standardized  learning  achievement  measurement  (including  tests  of  cogni0ve  abili0es),  and  the  need  for  more  ‘holis0c’  assessment  metrics  that  embeds  various  aspects  of  human  mental,  physical,  and  emo0onal  development.  

•  Whole  person  educa0on  should  recognize  quali0es  neglected  in  Western  ‘white-­‐male’-­‐centered  civiliza0on,  including  the  support  to  prac0ce  of  vulnerability  (which  helps  promote  openness  and  sincerity  within  the  society)  and  recogni0on  /  empowerment  of  the  feminine  within  each  of  us  

•  In  lifelong  educa0on,  a  gradual  shic  of  pedagogical  focus  will  occur  from  skills  to  meta-­‐skills  (e.g.  thinking  methods,  crea0vity  etc.)  and  from  meta-­‐skills  towards  existen0al  skills  (that  determine  our  long-­‐term  ‘strategies  of  living  our  lives’).  Within  15-­‐20  years,  some  of  existen0al  skills  may  become  a  focus  of  standard  curriculum  in  developed  countries.  

•  Whole  person  educa0on  key  principle  is  3H:  Heart  on,  Hands  on,  and  Head  on!    (Also:  we  might  want  to  add  ‘learning  with  the  gut’,  i.e.  an0cipatory/  intui0ve/  sensing  aspects  of  learning  to  this).

•  No0on  of  ‘whole  person  learning’  gets  limited  recogni0on  in  educa0on,  and  providers  outside  conven0onal  educa0on  system  increasingly  provide  opportuni0es  for  holis0c  educa0on  –  including  educa0on  technology  companies  that  provide  gadgets  for  personal  development.    

•  Some  ‘future  skills’  enter  into  conven0onal  or  complimentary  educa0on,  including  future  awareness  and  entrepreneurship  for  all  groups  of  learners.  

•  Self-­‐guided  learning  becomes  a  norm,  not  an  excep0on  

•  Collabora0ve  learning  communi0es  play  significant  role  in  lifelong  educa0on  –  and  their  ‘horizontal’  protocols  enter  into  conven0onal  educa0on  as  a  new  norm  

•  ‘Holis0c’  paradigm  in  educa0on  is  generally  accepted,  and  existen0al  competences  become  the  focus  of  curriculum  for  life-­‐long  learners

Problems  in  the  exisQng  set  up  of  educaQonal  systems  that  can  block  or  threaten  emergence  of  new  learning  ecosystems  

•  Over-­‐exploited  teachers  (demanding  to  much  from  teachers  that  are  poorly  trained  for  current  workload  and  are  paid  lible)  

•  Conveyer  belt  teaching  (teaching  teachers  'quickly  and  crudely',  believing  teachers  are  just  another  type  of  service-­‐providers  and  don't  need  special  socio-­‐emo0onal  prepara0on  to  start  performing  their  ac0vity)  

•  ‘Young  cheap  teachers’  (as  more  and  more  mature  teachers  find  it  hard  to  support  themselves  and  their  families  given  their  small  salary,  we  see  more  and  more  young  incompetent  teachers  (most  commonly  poorly  trained  according  to  old  expecta0ons)  taking  over  the  places)  

•  Too  many  non  teaching  teachers  in  the  system  (a  lot  of  administrators  and  educa0onal  leaders  have  never  had  teaching  experience)  

•  Resistance  to  spiritual  educa0on  (on  behalf  of  secular  community/government  that  confuse  religious  and  spiritual  educa0on)  

•  Wri0ng  off  affec0ve  experience  (eg.  lack  of  recogni0on  of  the  affects  of  trauma)  •  Stakeholders  invest  in  technology  but  not  in  teaching  teachers  or  how  to  use  it  well  

(with  the  growing  EdTech  market  we  are  all  facing  immense  investments  into  technology  and  very  lible  investment  into  alive  teachers,  who  are  s0ll  the  main  'source'  of  knowledge.

Key  trends  shaping  future  of    local  learning  ecosystems  

Concentrated  urbanizaQon  -­‐  growing  megaciQes,  shrinking  small  ciQes:  •   Urbaniza0on  in  21  century  is  coupled  with  city  concentra0on,  as  people  move  from  small  ci0es  into  

megaci0es.  The  richness  of  megacity  educa0onal  landscape  allows  for  emergence  of  full-­‐scale  ‘learning  ecosystems’  that  would  support  educa0on  of  a  whole  person  throughout  life0me.  

•  Sustainability  of  megaci0es  will  require  applica0on  of  various  technologies  that  would  increase  safety  &  comfort  of  the  city,  increase  the  produc0vity  of  urban  work,  and  redefine  city  rela0on  with  the  natural  environment:  robo0cs,  smart  environment  &  Big  Data  for  execu0on  &  coordina0on  of  city  processes;  healthy  food  produc0on  through  urban  micro-­‐agriculture;  new  resource  &  waste  management  processes  that  can  make  ci0es  the  source  of  clean  air  /  water,  fer0le  soil,  restored  species  of  plants  &  animals.  These  prac0ces  of  sustainability  should  be  supported  by  community  learning  (e.g.  learning  about  sustainable  food  produc0on  as  ‘learning  through  ea0ng’)  

•  Efficient  management  of  city  resources  would  allow  more  public  spaces  be  used  for  learning  &  interac0on,  allowing  communi0es  to  create  more  public  good.  Idle  spaces  can  be  shared  through  public  ‘exchanges’  

Growth  of  self-­‐organizing  communiQes  through  ‘third-­‐space’:  •  Public  spaces  become  venues  where  communi0es  are  established  &  maintained.  ‘Starbucks  Agora’  is  

an  exemplary  format  that  encourages  local  communi0es  to  use  cafes  and  other  ‘third-­‐spaces’  to  connect,  share  knowledge  &  skills  (in  form  of  public  lectures,  leisure  clubs  etc.),  and  discuss  important  community  mabers  through  various  forms  of  par0cipatory  dialogues.  

•  Self-­‐organized  city  communi0es  can  aim  to  solve  local  problems  through  project-­‐based  problem-­‐oriented  formats  such  as  local  hackathons,  maker  movement  ac0vi0es,  pop-­‐up  entrepreneurship  etc.  

•  Spontaneous  &  collabora0ve  public  art    becomes  an  important  vehicle  in  removing  barriers  between  individuals  &  communi0es  and  engaging  strangers  into  dialogues  and  collec0ve  ac0ons.  

•  Essen0ally,  communi0es  become  the  places  to  prevent  dehumaniza0on  of  society  that  is  induced  by  intensified  applica0on  of  technologies   40  

Page 41: Towards Learner- Centered Lifelong Learningglobaledufutures.org/uploads/files/Results/Towards Learner-Centere… · Towards Learner-Centered Lifelong Learning Results’of’’ Global’Educaon’Futures’California’

Key  trends  shaping  future  of    local  learning  ecosystems  (2)  

Learning  spillover  –  from  formal  to  informal,  from  specialized  to  omnipresent:  •  As  city  increasingly  becomes  a  learning  space,  new  tools  will  support  individual  &  collec0ve  learning.  

Among  the  most  important  ones  are  naviga0on  tools  which  will  couple  personal  learning  trajectories  (or  interests  /  preferences)  with  learning  opportuni0es  that  exist  in  the  proximity  of  a  learner.  

•  In  the  longer  run,  various  elements  of  community-­‐based  learning  would  integrate  into  Evolu0onary  Learning  Communi0es  that  may  become  ‘hubs’  of  urban  learning  &  development  for  individuals,  families,  and  groups  (a  prototype  of  such  ‘hubs’  are  ‘Learner  Maker  Spaces’  for  new  models  of  learning)  

•  Policies  that  recognize  skills  /  knowledge  obtained  in  community-­‐based  learning  as  a  formal  degree  will  help  legi0mize  and  increase  popularity  of  new  forms  of  educa0on.  

•  Learning  Ecosystem  Maturity  Metrics,  a  system  of  indicators  indica0ng  compara0ve  development  of  local  learning  ecosystems  (similar  to  Technology  Readiness  metrics  or  LEED  cer0fica0on  system),  can  be  used  to  help  NGOs  and  regional  administra0ons  to  understand  how  to  improve  learning  processes  in  their  local  ecosystems  and  to  create  increasingly  resilient  communi0es.  Increased  divides  –  economic,  ethnical,  religious,  …:  

•  Ci0es,  and  especially  megaci0es,  due  to  their  high  diversity,  ocen  become  the  source  of  tensions.  In  response  to  the  increasingly  complexity  of  urban  life,  some  socie0es  try  to  conserve  themselves,  restrict  the  inflow  of  variety  and  even  launch  ‘controlled  archaiza0on’  –  which  moves  the  problem  to  next  systemic  level  and  poten0ally  aggravates  it.  This  may  lead  to  increased  instances  of  violence  &  social  injus0ce  directed  at  minority  or  s0gma0zed  groups.  ‘New  media’  can  become  the  source  of  urban  ac0vism  that  responds  to  such  processes.  Conflict  media0on  &  peacemaking  may  become  widely  distributed  skills  to  help  prevent  community  &  family  violence.  

•  Families  are  undergoing  a  major  transforma0on  that  is  accelerated  by  connec0vity  that  both  builds  barriers  within  the  conven0onal  family  and  allows  for  new  associa0ons.  Par0cipa0on  in  mul0ple  or  shared  families  becomes  widespread,  and  ra0onale  of  the  family  is  redefined,  shicing  from  kin  loyalty  and  economic  bonds  to  associa0ons  based  on  shared  values  and  existen0al  interests.  Families  become  collec0ve  learners  that  increasingly  engage  in  mul0-­‐genera0onal  community-­‐based  learning.   41

How  will  the  future  look  like  for    local  learning  ecosystems  

…  in  2020   …  in  2030  

•  Public  spaces  and  ‘third-­‐places’  become  venues  of  community-­‐based  learning.  Idle  spaces  are  increasingly  used  for  collec0ve  learning  needs.  Public  art  projects  encourage  people  to  explore  and  remove  barriers  between  individuals  /  communi0es  

•  Instant  formats  for  community  interac0on,  such  as  ‘Starbucks  Agoras’  and  urban  hackathons,  help  connect  &  empower  local  learners  and  solve  local  community  problems  

•  Tools  for  urban  learner  naviga0on  help  connect  personal  learning  interests  with  the  mul0tude  of  learning  opportuni0es  offered  within  communi0es,  events,  ins0tu0ons  etc.  

•  Technology-­‐enriched  ci0es  redefine  the  organiza0on  of  urban  living  and  the  rela0on  between  the  city  and  Nature  

•  ‘Digital  Athens’  -­‐  new  balance  of  work/leisure  is  enabled  by  robo0cs  &  smart  environment  

•  Learning  is  interconnected  with  a  quest  for  health  and  quality  of  life.  There  is  a  strong  emphasis  on  individual  and  community  health  

•  Families  redefine  themselves  on  the  grounds  of  shared  values  and  existen0al  interests,  and  new  families  become  mul0-­‐genera0onal  community  learners

(Ethical)  principles  of  global  educaQonal  ecosystem  

1.  ‘Technologies  for  people  –  not  people  for  technologies’:  future  educa0onal  systems  cannot  be  built  with  new  technological  architecture  alone  (as  it  happened  with  Internet  search,  social  media  interac0on,  or  personalized  helpers  like  Siri).  It  should  also  consider  •  Values  &  principles  defined  by  the  ‘Declara0on  of  Learner  Rights’  (incl.  the  

principle  of  primacy  of  learner  demands  &  interests)  •  Social  design  of  new  educa0on  based  on  systemic  pedagogical  &  psychological  

research  (incl.  ‘digital  pedagogy’)  2.  If  the  transi0on  to  true  life  long  learning  happens:  

•  The  objec0ve  of  educa0on  should  not  be  ‘acquisi0on  of  skills  &  knowledge’,  but  support  to  life  long  human  development  (transi0on  from  competencies  to  meta-­‐competencies,  and  from  meta-­‐competencies  to  existen0al  competencies)  

•  Educa0on  should  become  focused  on  whole  person,  i.e.  it  should  help  develop  not  only  our  cogni0ve  abili0es  and  ‘knowledge  base’,  but  also  our  bodies,  our  social  &  emo0onal  intelligence  –  and  this  development  should  be  supported  by  various  educa0onal  technologies  

•  Quality  of  the  learning  and  related  human  feelings,  such  as  love,  joy,  trust,  and  acceptance,  should  be  placed  at  the  heart  of  educa0onal  processes.  

3.  Community  (of  prac00oners  driven  by  shared  values)  becomes  a  central  space  in  knowledge  acquisi0on  and  knowledge  crea0on  (that  in  the  future  become  elements  of  the  same  process)

Stage  1:  support  to  exis0ng  system  Up  ;ll  2010s  

Stage  2:  system  expansion  2010s-­‐2020s  

Stage  3:  emergence  of  ecosystem  Late  2020s  and  onwards  

Educa0onal  system  largely  dominated  by  tradi0onal  ins0tu0ons  (schools  /  colleges  /  universi0es),  while  new  providers  focus  on  suppor0ng  services  

How  can  ‘beauQful  excepQons’  become  ‘new  systemic  norm’:  a  possible  scenario  

Majority  of  ed  tech  companies  that  see  schools  &  universi0es  as  their  target  market  and  work  on  specific  improvements  for  exis0ng  educa0onal  processes:  e.g.  Blackboard,  Promethean  etc.  

Providers  that  seek  to  create  addi0onal  skills  /  knowledge  outside  or  adjacent  to  standard  curriculum:  e.g.  EdModo,  PresenceLearning,  Lego  Mindstorm  clubs  etc.  

New  educa0onal  providers  abempt  to  take  over  parts  of  the  key  educa0onal  processes  in  areas  that  are  complimentary  to  exis0ng  schools  /  universi0es  

New  educa0onal  providers  can  support  all-­‐round  process  on  par  with  exis0ng  educa0onal  system  (and  can  provide  new  func0onality  such  as  personalized  learning)  

None  of  the  exis0ng  players  at  the  moment;  mul0ple  candidate  technologies  exist  (global  learning  pla\orms  such  as  Coursera  and  EdCast,  etc.)   53

Key  challenge  remaining:    public  vs.  private  changemaking?  

While  it  is  highly  possible  that  private  and  independent  providers  are  capable  of  rebuilding  or  upgrading  many  elements  of  educa0onal  systems,  educa0on  also  serves  societal  needs  and  therefore  should  retain  public  elements.  However,  it  remains  an  open  discussion  whether  public  providers  are  able  to  lead  the  transforma0on,  or  if  they  are  going  to  respond  to  pressures  created  by  providers  outside  the  conven0onal  system.  Also,  the  role  of  regulators  themselves  is  likely  to  shic  from  direct  governance  to  cul0va0on  of  ecosystems.  Some  ideas  from  par0cipants  of  GEF  California  are  quoted  below:    

“Governments  can  contribute  to  the  accelera;on  of  innova;ons  in  educa;on  through  the  investment  and  carrying  out  of  high-­‐level  research.  Na;onal  organiza;on  can  also  help  build  bridges  between  different  parts  of  the  system.”  –  Olivier  Brechard  

“Scenario  [of  change  driven  by  private  providers  outside  educa;on  system]  raises  concerning  ques;ons  about  the  degree  of  democra;c  control  or  influence  upon  such  changes;  and  their  impact  upon  (the  already  fragile)  effort  toward  equity.  (..)  If  transforma;on  is  to  come  from  within  educa;on  systems  themselves,  it  will  depend  upon  the  emergence  of  a  different  kind  of  leadership.”  Valerie  Hannon  (2015)  

“You  can’t  govern  free  and  open  learning  resources,  it’s  an  unstoppable  force  and  it’s  the  most  important  thing  that  happened  to  the  world  in  the  last  20  years.  [However,  i]n  the  foreseeable  future,  the  government  will  and  should  retain  the  responsibility  for  cer;fica;on  of  professionals.  But  it  has  to  remain  dynamic  so  that  we  con;nue  asking  ourselves  a  ques;on  what  people  of  a  certain  profession  need  to  know  and  be  able  to  do.”  -­‐  Tom  Vander  Ark  

“One  of  the  most  important  things  is  peace.  All  countries  that  are  not  in  peace  have  no  chance  to  par;cipate  in  global  educa;on  system.”  -­‐  Victor  Van  Rij  

“Technology  and  policies  are  closely  linked.  Government  may  decide  to  build  educa;onal  tools  and  content  and  to  make  them  available  as  public  good.”  –  Francois  Taddei

We  have  only  just  begun  the  process  of  discovering  and  inven0ng  the  new  organiza0onal  forms  that  will  inhabit  the  21st  Century.  We  need  the  courage  to  let  go  of  the  old  world,  to  relinquish  most  of  what  we  have  cherished,  to  abandon  our  interpreta0ons  about  what  does  and  doesn’t  work.
