We are about to enter the metaverse. However, in many places, education is still marked by the image of a classroom in which 30 or 40 students look towards a chair from which the teacher forces them to repeat a memorised lesson like a chant. Fortunately, the winds of change are blowing. In recent weeks we have talked a lot about personalised education. In this post, we remind you how we have dealt with the subject.
It is not a new approach. Socrates was one of the first to use it and Rousseau theorized about it almost 300 years ago. In the post Personalised learning: the great dream of education, we told you what this learning approach is and how it can be a great tool for education in vulnerable environments.
Having established its origins and fundamental elements, in this post we look at three ways of personalizing learning in the classroom: flipped learning, challenge-based learning, and place-based learning. If you read it, you will know what each of these methodologies consists of and what their main advantages are.
And, of course, we had to talk about personalised learning and technology. Thus, in Adaptive learning in five questions, we talk about some of the keys to this method of instruction which, with the invaluable collaboration of artificial intelligence, can take adaptive learning to another level.
Finally, and to demonstrate that in this Observatory we do not only theorize, in Bringing personalised learning into practice, we tell you about three interesting experiences that implement inverted learning, challenge-based learning, and place-based learning in the classroom. We are referring to “Proyecto Cangrejo” (the Crab Project), the 2030 Club, and the Forest Schools. Don’t miss them.
