Innovating pedagogy 2015
Synopsis
In this series of reports by the Open University education researchers look at new forms of teaching, learning and assessment, with the hope of guiding teachers and policy makers towards new, productive innovations.
This fourth report, Innovating Pedagogy 2015, proposes ten innovations that the authors believe will have a positive effect on education.These innovations cover crossover learning, connecting formal and informal learning; crossover learning, connecting formal and informal learning; and learning through argumentation, helping pupils to develop skills of scientific reasoning and argumentation.
They highlight the importance of context-based and embodied learning, and also suggest the need for ‘computational’ thinking: solving problems using techniques from computing.
