Today’s article looks at learning, specifically learning systems, how changing work affects learning and the importance of understanding thought processes such as unintended consequences and biases – we’ve also included the usual series of questions to provoke thought and discussion in classrooms and around dinner tables.
Today’s articles resources, types of learning, student disengagement, play-based learning, teachers surveys and more, and our hope is that they serve as a conversation starter in schools.
This week we’re starting with the article – ‘Gradually, Then Suddenly’, before looking at the roles trust and collaboration play in organisations and finishing with a quick look at future skills.
The articles in each category provide a quick overview of some of the trends that we are seeing in the transport sector, and allow teachers and students to gain an insight into the areas in which we will likely see innovation, deployment and opportunity over the coming decade.
There have always been varying versions of events and perspectives about the world and how it works. However the problem now is that while these various perspectives have always existed, they were more often than not rooted in an agreed and universal truth or basis in fact.
The gig economy is growing, and it’s very likely that today’s school students will be involved in it in some form or another during their working lives. It’s a different type of work, and they will need to have their eyes open to what to expect.
It’s not possible to accurately predict the future, of course. However it is possible to get a sense of how things are likely to change over the coming 10 to 15 years. Today’s 5 year olds will enter the workforce from about 2032 to 2037, and as you’ll see below the working environment that they join will be dramatically different from the one we experience today. So what’s going on, and what’s likely to happen?
The week we’re looking at privacy, how everyday technology affects our privacy, and what we need to be mindful of when we connect.
To start this week’s look at automation and implications for learning in schools, the World Economic Forum and McKinsey have shared insights from Davos on the future of learning and work and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
This article takes a close look at data and privacy, how they are connected, how they’re changing and what this might mean for students and schools.
