The Associate Educational Fellowship Programme‘Improving professional practice through collaborative enquiry and dialogue’

Feedback from Fellowship discussion 12 th January 2017

How should educationalists prepare young people for civic and professional life in a digital age?

Look at incorporating philosophy into classes Disagree with AI led Climate change/limited resources/community minded way to teach Develop transferrable life skills – creative thinking, listening, judgment and

consideration, predict outcomes, negotiate social media and new environments – this can all be taught through philosophy

Not accept and narrow philosophy as a programme Look for opportunities Philosophy for a child as a programme – not balancing as a focus on Maths and

Science – a drive to create more creativity. Question established ideas – teach to challenge and question Pastoral Programme would be a natural way to introduce Philosophy. There is too much reliance on technology and wifi – everyone relies on it – teachers

and students. Build, think and reflect. We currently instantly look up something – we need to learn

to think. Building the time – turn off wifi Understand how to deal with technology Speaking and listening is not in the curriculum – they have access to too much

information – teach them to decide and challenge on valid information.
