the learning revolution

Are we learning and teaching the best way - in the context of changes in technology?

And in the context of the lockdown - with much more 'homeschooling' going on?

Here's a provocative piece from the Financial Times:

This is a new series on BBC Radio 4:

Knowing

The Learning Revolution

Episode 1 of 3

In a world where a tiny parasite can immobilise societies across the world, Alex Beard asks what kind of knowledge will be crucial to learn in the future.

Today, we have more access to information and knowledge than we have ever done before. So what does knowing mean today when you can simply ask Google? We take a deeper look into how our brains use and store information, and find out whether future generations could be using their brains in very different ways.

And as a species, what we know grows in reaction to the ever changing, and often challenging, world around us. In the midst of these changes, we ask whether facts and figures have a place in education when those facts and figures are changing.

Alex Beard used to be a teacher, and is now an education explorer, of sorts. In the first episode of The Learning Revolution, he quizzes some of today's biggest minds in philosophy, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, urban innovation, and climate change, to find out what we'll really need to know in an ever changing world.

Teaching

The Learning Revolution

Episode 2 of 3

At a time when many parents unexpectedly find themselves taking on the role of the teacher, Alex Beard sets out to discover how teaching might look very different in the future.

We are used to a system of teachers who know and learners who don’t. The model of a large group of students sitting in rows, eyes trained on a single teacher, has proven remarkably resilient. But in today’s world, where new fields of knowledge are emerging rapidly and lifelong learners may not always have access to a dedicated teacher, is it time to rethink how teaching is done?

Artificial intelligence is already playing a significant role in education. Some edtech companies are developing technology which can track a learner’s progress by monitoring their heart rate and eye movements. But where does all this leave the human teacher? And how can new technology be harnessed in the best interests of teachers and learners?

Learning

The Learning Revolution

Episode 3 of 3

Right now, more than 860 million students worldwide are not at school due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many are studying from home but, amid endless distractions, are they actually learning?

For centuries, formal learning has been confined to a dedicated school or university building at a particular stage of life. Now more than ever, that looks set to change.

In designing an education system fit for the future, how might we harness the human brain’s incredible capacity for learning? There’s much to be gleaned from how babies and teenagers learn. Lifelong learning will also be an important part of education in the future – but what might it look like in practice?
