Innovation in education: two frameworks









INTRODUCTION


 Why are we all talking about creativity in the process of every organization?

       How could we distinguish the innovative approach?

       Which are the main goals of those innovative models?

       Examples of innovation enhancing the learning process. How many educational models are there?

 

QUOTES


       Business and human endeavors are systemswe tend to focus on snapshots of isolated parts of the system. And wonder why our deepest problems never get solved.

Peter M. Senge The fifth discipline of learning organization

 

       Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life

Peter M. Senge

 


LEARNING EXPERIENCE (OUT OF THE CLASSROOM)

       WIZIQ Educational platform

       Are you familiar with online educational platforms?


 

 

       WizIQ helps create and deliver courses with assessment tools and content sharing feature. Provides exclusive features that save time and enhance collaboration between students and teachers allowing anyone to learn and/or teach online.

       Professionals from all over the world gathered on this webinar to talk about different topics such as transformational blogging and reflective blogging to connectivity, history, evolution, teaching tools, multi-media, thinking & creativity, families, schools, and content curation.

       The WizIQ platform falls into the WEB 2.0- based collaborative model conceptual framework.

       Its of paramount importance the concept of collaborative virtual societies in order to learn or deliver a course, and practice effective skills.

       Multicultural education is an essential component of quality education. (Banks, 1994)

       Keywords: Participation, collaboration, self-learning, self-motivation, shared goals.

 

 

 SECOND EXPERIENCE BASED ON INNOVATION (INSIDE THE CLASSROOM)
RAPPING THE GRAMMAR

 Fluency MC teaching approach

       During a whole year I had to implement a new system to withstand the students demotivation and disinterest. Nothing could inspire them enough.

       Fluency Mc raps made a difference; I could face a successful challenge putting into practice the collocations and phrasal verbs in a simple and creative way.

       How to succeed? What do we have to look for?

       Encouragement- make them believe they have a gift for languages, as probably its true but nobody had told them that before.

       Sing, rap, dont consider you are chasing rainbows, just have fun while learning.

       Now, lets get the ball rolling, its time we learnt the grammar from another perspective.

 

 

    connection to the innovative framework

 

       Intercultural model for the new educational management

 Diversity of students in terms of cultures, languages and origins.

Main goal: minority open, relationship among different cultures, within a sophisticated curricula, inclusion and not integration. Each and every aspect needs to be valued as a singularity to be added to the whole (Dominguez, 2006).

   Design a new innovative experience

 

       Problem definition:

       Group: Professional training

       Number of students: 15

       Subject: Training and career counselling

       Unit 17: Teamworks

       Law frame - La Ley Orgánica 2/2006, de 3 de mayo, de Educación, artículo 39- Artículo 3 del Real Decreto 1538/2006 por el que se establece la Ordenación General de la Formación Profesional Inicial

 

 

     Jigsaw technique and web contest

 

       15 students will be separated and agrupated in 4 small groups.

       As a group they will have to work on an assigned section of the unit, developing the content using their resources and extra material.

       A spokesperson will be the responsible for get across the part of the unit that as a group had to clarify and develop. The spokesperson from group 1 will go to group 2 and consecutively, a different spokesperson will have to explain the other section to a different group. This way everyone will have to be exposed to the same task.

       The Unit will have to be covered in less than 5 hours and getting all the students to participate.




 

 

        Collaboration is vital

 

       Collaboration is vital to sustain what we call profound or really deep change, because without it, organizations are just overwhelmed by the forces of the status quo. Peter M. Senge




 

         Web- Contest

 
       After the first phase of the activity, will put the focus on an online educational approach, what will make it more appealing given the nature of the game and the curiosity that will suscite among other institutions and professionals.

       A Web contest is to be develop by the groups studying the same subjetc, Training and career counselling and the questions and answers have to be done by them.

       Once the quizz is finished, both students and teachers, will meet online from each classroom to compete using the questions and answers previously revised.

       The winner can get a prize or incentive.

       What is more importante is the way students and teachers will communicate using interactive tools and a videoconference.

 

 

         Why is it innovative?

       It promotes students expression and verbal, no verbal, skills. It enhances their cognitive comprehension, their synthesis skills, organizative skills, originality and understanding of fair play.

       As Koldo Saratxaga states: The more people interact, the more they enjoy; the more they work in teams, the more they share and offer, because they dont see the others as rivals. (Feelings, thoughts and realities, 2012).

 

 

 

           Connection with the innovative model

 

       This experience will be suitable in the leadership of profound change by Peter Sange. The teamwork will serve the stimulous to the creativity and emotional balance.

         SYSTEMIC THINKING

 

4   IMPORTANT POINTS

 

      TEAM LEARNING PROCESS

      PARTICIPATIVE AND REFLECTIVE ACTITUDE

      LOCALISM

      TECHNOLOGY

 

      QUOTES THAT EXPLAIN THIS MODEL

 

       Science is sustained in conversations Werner Heisemberg

       The staus-Quo is a perversion of the truth and the honesty OBrien de Hannover.

       Difference between Dialogue and discourse

 

 

        Differences between discussion and dialogue

 

     DISCUSSION

 

      * DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS ARE DISPLAYED

      * PEOPLE REACH AN AGREEMENT

      * PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS CONVERGE IN CONCLUSIONS OR COURSES OF ACTIONS

      * LESS REFLEXION AND MORE WINNING WILLINGNESS

 

       DIALOGUE

 

       * DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS ARE DISPLAYED IN ORDER TO FIND A NEW ONE

       * COMPLEX ISSUES ARE EXPLORED WITHOUT DECIDING ANYTHING

       * THE VIEWPOINTS ARE DIVERGENTS, THEY DON'T FIND AGREEMENTS

       * ONE TOPIC IS ASSESSED WHICH RESULTS TO BE MORE SOLID AND LESS VULNERABLE.


 

 

        CONCLUSIONS: Some food for thought

 

Can you see the staus quo as the main source of decisions in your organizations?

What do you do to be creative?

Does the offered model avoid us from falling in uncertainty or on the other hand allows us to be more reliable, more participative, communicative, assertive and liable?

How can we assured that the students are the protagonists of the education if they cant handle a daily need in form of a speech, project, personal goal?

How can we give a boost to the merit, instead of the Who does it? How can teachers seek opportunities and find the creativity latent in all of us without exception?

 

How can we generate affection, empathy, assertive communication, and include the diversity in the classrooms AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOMS?

 
TO SUM UP....
 
       Two innovative experience and two models. Professionals feel the urge to adapt to the changes that current society is undergoing and with this framework, we are enabled to improve our best practices. Sharing is caring, affection means group consolidation, and creativity implies a new form of educational democracy.

       Commitment is not built around compliance and biased opinions.

       Use your/the organizational resources mindfully and thoroughly and holistically, those arent the goals but the fruitful ways.

Beware with the hero-leaders that misunderstand the top-driven changes and the profound change (P.Senge)

 

How can we generate affection, empathy, assertive communication, and include the diversity in the classrooms?
