A Population That Adapts

We had to develop our capacity for asking awkward questions

AndragogyThe Art & Science of helping people to Learn

Assumes the Student’s ability, need and desire to take control and responsibility of their Learning. Assumes a move to an independent Learning environment with Students building on their experiences. Learning time changes from ‘postponed’ to ‘immediate’ and curricula changes from ‘Subject-Centric’ to ‘Performance-Centric.

PEDAGOGY

PedagogyThe Art & Science of Teaching

Most dominant form of instruction in Western Europe & North America based on the Monastic approaches to Learning. Teacher is in control of the Learning process and puts student in a submissive role within the Learning environment. Equally applied to Children & Adults and based on the assumption that Learner need only know what the Teacher teaches them.

The Learner

What learners want?

I want a LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that provides me with the equivalent tools and services as my social environment. One that:

supports my media-rich creativity and expression,

encourages me to collaborate with others and work as a team,

adapts to my individual learning style and needs,

and that accommodates my mobile lifestyle.

Re-engineering Education

What does great education look like?

Education must be about preparing learners for their future, not our past
