This article presents the reflections of a multidisciplinary team working on CERN’s Challenge-Based Innovation (CBI) since 2014. These reflections on pedagogy and innovation are positioned at the intersection of experiential learning, design thinking and challenge-driven education. Drawing from seven editions of what has become “CBI Fusion Point,” the paper presents the story as an ongoing journey of experimentation with various formats and methods in response to broader shifts in education.

I strongly recommend this video of Bror Saxberg's presentation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Festival of Learning last March. (Scroll down for the full one-hour link.) He brilliantly explains why we need to re-engineer #learningdesign based on actual learning science research instead of intuition or nostalgia. Then check out @jimgoodell 's Learning Engineering Toolkit to get started. https://lnkd.in/dxRQp4Ps

I love how this blog post shares information on what to do and how to do it with concrete examples. Thank you!

Ever watched an orchestra? Imagine if the conductor was replaced by a robot. While it might keep the beat - The soulful interpretation - The spontaneous adjustments - The passionate connection with the musicians would be lost. Similarly, in our classrooms, 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿. Why? Let's dive in: With 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀, a lesson about climate change can turn into a worldwide exploration in seconds. Transporting students from icy polar caps to the hot Sahara desert, making learning a vivid experience. Through 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, immediate feedback becomes the norm. Remember those long days waiting for test results? Now, students can understand and rectify their mistakes ASAP! With 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀, it's like having a magnifying glass over each student's journey. Spotting who's struggling with Algebra? Done. Identifying who's acing History? Got it. But here's the catch! All these tools, as fantastic as they are, - can't feel a student's excitement, - detect their hesitation, - share a heartwarming story to uplift a spirit. That's where YOU, dear Educator, come into play. The magic isn't in the tech alone, but in the human touch that you bring to it. Here's to the Educators: Your timeless wisdom unyielding passion when armored with technology can carve out unparalleled learning journeys for every student. If you believe in the blend of technology and heart in education, let's connect! Follow for more insights, and together, let's shape the future of learning

Thank you to eSchool News for sharing our blog post, "5 Ways Teaching Science with Probeware Promotes 3D Learning." https://lnkd.in/gsnsjFfz We encourage educators to download our white paper to learn more about how probeware supports three-dimensional science learning by enhancing students' investigation of natural phenomena. https://lnkd.in/g5Z5gMzV

Professional Development is Key Strategy for STEM Growth and Career Readiness! The trouble with STEM INSTRUCTION in USA is simple! Most of the world require Physics studies, as a mandatory subject taught, at least three time a week each school year, from grades 6 through 10. The USA does not, unfortunately teach Physics like that, resulting in their students increasingly STEM Career motivational decline or demise. It’s no wonder our STEM INSTRUCTION fails to elicit the kind of follow-on lasting career motivating excitement once envisioned by key stakeholders like parents, government, academia and industry. Early childhood excitement about hands on STEM project doings eventually falls way short as more in depth studying, learning and experimenting is required beyond play. STEM students and teachers lack the basic knowledge of the real world. All science, arts for that matter, are rooted in mathematics and physical science. Math is the language of science. And the USA lags the World in STEM students /workers. STEM learners simply don’t have the fundamentals of doings science, real scientific work and gaining a solid career choice with foundational insights.

Three-dimensional learning is a modern approach that aims to enhance students' learning experiences by incorporating not only traditional classroom lectures but also hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning. The technique comprises three fundamental dimensions, each with its own unique characteristics, which merge to create a well-rounded learning experience. The dimensions focus on conceptual understanding, scientific and engineering practices, and cross-cutting relationships, with the aim of creating holistic learners who are not only knowledgeable but also have problem-solving skills and the ability to apply what they learn in real-life situations. #3dlearning #scienceeducation  

Harnessing the Power of Bloom’s Taxonomy: A Deep Dive into Bloom’s Verbs As an educational researcher with several years of teaching experience, I’ve often found myself reflecting on my classroom days. What truly makes a lesson engaging? How can we guide our students towards higher levels of thinking and deep understanding? The answer that has proved time and again its relevance in various eras and contexts, is… The post Harnessing the Power of Bloom’s Taxonomy: A Deep Dive into Bloom’s Verbs appeared first on Educators Technology.
