THE CONTEXT
The ELSE partners feel that the implementation of the Bologna process has been patchy and its potential benefits are underexploited. Two fundamental principles of Bologna (echoed in the Lisbon document and the LLP for adult education) remain unrealized:
Students continue to be peripheral to the process of knowledge co-construction
The potential for true pedagogical innovation through new technologies that can enhance the learning experience is underexplored
Technology remains an innovative toolkit used to deliver traditional content rather than a means to drive a process of radical pedagogical innovation.
This is what we need to do
ENHANCE STAFF AWARENESS...
…of the changes in the stakeholders’ sensorium and learning styles, engendered by the digital era
STIMULATE TEACHERS' APPETITE ...
…for an innovative learning environment based on learner-centred pedagogies (holistic, constructivist, connectivist approaches), which can activate students’ learning process through problem-solving, learning-by-doing, gamification, or digital information research
DEMONSTRATE TO TEACHERS...
…that these opportunities can be realised through the application of Higher Order Thinking ICTs
PROVIDE APPROPRIATE AND EASY TO USE TRAINING MATERIAL...
…to make this transformative journey possible!
