As a follow-up to our 9 Characteristics of 21st Century Learning we developed in 2009, we’ve got developed an up to date framework, The Inside-Out Studying Mannequin.
The aim of the mannequin is straightforward sufficient–not pure tutorial proficiency, however as an alternative genuine self-knowledge, various native and world interdependence, adaptive important considering, and adaptive media literacy.
By design this mannequin emphasizes the position of play, various digital and bodily media, and a designed interdependence between communities and colleges.
The tried personalization of studying happens by new actuators and new notions of native and world citizenship. An Inside-Out College returns the learners, studying, and ‘accountability’ away from academia and again to communities. Now not do colleges educate. Fairly, they act as curators of assets and studying instruments and promote the shift of the ‘burden’ of studying again to a extra balanced perspective of stakeholders and contributors.
Right here, households, enterprise leaders, humanities-based organizations, neighbors, mentors, and higher-education establishments all converging to witness, revere, reply to and help the educational of its personal neighborhood members.
The micro-effect right here is elevated mental intimacy, whereas the macro-effect is more healthy communities and citizenship that extends past mere participation, to concepts of considering, scale, legacy, and progress.
The 9 Domains Of the Inside-Out Studying Mannequin
1. 5 Studying Actuators
- Project-Based Learning
- Directed and Non-Directed Play
- Video Video games and Studying Simulations
- Related Mentoring
- Educational Observe
2. Altering Habits
- Nicely-being (for lecturers and college students) as a matter deserving of innovation & design
- Acknowledge limits and scale
- Replicate on interdependence
- Honor uncertainty
- Curate legacy
- Assist systems-level and divergent considering
- Reward increment
- Require versatility within the face of change
3. Transparency
- Between communities, learners, and colleges
- Studying requirements, outcomes, venture rubrics, efficiency critera persistently seen, accessible, and communally constructed
- Gamification and publishing substitute ‘grades’
4. Self-Initiated Switch
- Making use of outdated considering in always altering and unfamiliar circumstances as a continuing matter of apply
- Fixed apply of prioritized large concepts in growing complexity inside learner’s Zone of Proximal Improvement
- Challenge-based studying, blended studying, and Place-Based mostly Training accessible to facilitate extremely constructivist method
5. Mentoring & Group
- ‘Accountability’ by way of the efficiency of project-based concepts in genuine native and world environments
- Native motion –> world citizenship
- Energetic mentoring by way of bodily and digital networking, apprenticeships, job shadows and research excursions
- Communal Constructivism, meta-cognition, Cognitive Teaching, and Cognitive Apprenticeship amongst accessible instruments
6. Altering Roles
- Learners as data makers
- Lecturers because the knowledgeable of evaluation and assets
- Lecture rooms as think-tanks
- Communities not simply viewers, however vested contributors
- Households as designers, curators, and content material assets
7. Local weather of Evaluation
- Fixed minor assessments substitute exams
- Knowledge streams inform progress and recommend pathways
- Educational requirements prioritized and anchoring
- Merchandise, simulation efficiency, self-knowledge delegate academia to a brand new position of refinement of thought
8. Thought & Abstraction
- On this mannequin, wrestle and abstraction are anticipated outcomes of accelerating complexity & real-world uncertainty
- This uncertainty is honored, and complexity and cognitive endurance are always modeled and revered
- Abstraction honors not simply artwork, philosophy, and different humanities, however the unsure, incomplete, and subjective nature of data
9. Increasing Literacies
- Analyzes, evaluates, and synthesizes credible data
- Important survey of the interdependence of media and thought
- Consumption of continually evolving media types
- Media design for genuine functions
- Self-monitored sources of digital & non-digital information
- Inventive and helpful content material curation patterns
