🔎 #CallForEvidence 🔍 #MENA - Our call for evidence on transitions from Accelerated Education Programmes (AEPs) is still open!  We’d like to draw particular attention to organisations working in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where nearly 15 million children are out-of-school due to ongoing crises and conflicts (WFP, 2020).  We're specifically seeking evidence to address gaps on the following topics:  youth voice and youth engagement; children with disabilities;  long-term studies. 📢 If you are an organisation working on AEPs in the MENA region and have evidence to share, get in touch with us at AEP@education.org.    As with all our work at Education.org, we seek all types of relevant evidence, including both published and unpublished (‘grey literature’) sources. This may include, but is not limited to: - Government reports and briefings  - Policy documents  - Internal reports produced by organisations working in the region  - Working papers  - Blogs    A massive thank you to the Queen Rania Foundation for their support with this call! #TransformingEducation #Education #SDG4 Dubai Cares, UNICEF, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, USAID, FCDO Services, Luminos Fund, Education Above All Foundation (EAA), Education Cannot Wait (ECW), War Child Nederland, People in Need, ADVENTIST DEVELOPMENT & RELIEF AGENCY-EU (ADRA), CERD Centre d'Etude et de Ressources sur la Diversification, Questscope, Relief International, Street Child, World Vision International Jordan

We invite you to register for an enlightening seminar as part of the 40th Anniversary Seminar Series at The University of Hong Kong! The event entitled "AI is Developing at a Phenomenal Speed: What is AI Literacy and How Can it Be Learnt?" will be held on October 31, 2024 (Thursday), from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM EDT. Venue: MW408-410, 4/F, Meng Wah Complex, HKU / Online via Zoom. Language: English. This seminar will feature Professor Nancy Law, Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Education, alongside Professor Gary Wong, who will discuss the crucial topic of AI literacy in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. The discussion will address the following questions: - Does it matter what technology is being used for teaching AI literacy in schools? - How can teachers' professional development catch up with fast technological advances? - What is AI literacy anyway, and how can or should it be learnt? This seminar draws on research in the learning sciences to address these issues. Registration is required! Please register at this link. https://lnkd.in/gN646JCK Note that the option of face-to-face is not available as the quota is full. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading experts and enhance your understanding of AI literacy!

In an insightful dialogue on knowledge brokering, Paulina Segovia Candia (She/her/hers), our coordination consultant and science communicator, engages with Professor Megan McClelland, an esteemed expert on children's self-regulation. https://lnkd.in/gas-XmNz Professor McClelland is the Katherine E. Smith Professor of Healthy Children and Families at Oregon State University where she serves as Endowed Director at the Hallie E. Ford Center for Healthy Children and Families. Their conversation explores the critical intersection of research and practice, highlighting how effective collaboration can enhance early childhood education and improve outcomes for young learners. Their discussion focuses on identifying the challenges and barriers faced in efficiently bridging the gap between research and practical educational implementation in the field of self-regulation and early learning. Prof. McClelland mentions notable organizations and resources, including the Jacobs Foundation's Learning Sciences Exchange Fellowship, New America, The Brookings Institution, and UNESCO. She also highlights the work of other researchers in the field, such as Roberta Golinkoff and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek (not seen in the recording). This conversation offers practical examples of how Prof. McClelland and her colleagues have built relationships between scientists and practitioners to improve children's self-regulation skills and school success. Prof. McClelland's quote clearly explains the importance of collaboration in this field: "To me, what is very important is understanding that the community partners or the teachers and educators that we work with are getting something valuable that is useful to them and that they are having significant input into what we are developing because whatever we develop only works if people out there can use it easily and feasibly."

What are the current trends? 3⃣ How are the needs of specific groups, such as displaced populations, addressed? 📽️ Stay tuned for the recording! https://bit.ly/4f0IVQC #LeadingSDG4

¡Atención investigadoras/es en ciencias del aprendizaje y la enseñanza en América Latina y el Caribe! La Cátedra UNESCO de Ciencia por la Educación les invita a participar en una importante encuesta sobre investigación en ciencias del aprendizaje y la enseñanza. El objetivo es mapear los grupos de investigación y sus actividades, fomentar el intercambio de conocimientos y explorar la posibilidad de crear una red regional en ciencias del aprendizaje. Su participación es crucial para avanzar en la comprensión y mejora de los procesos educativos en América Latina y el Caribe. La encuesta es confidencial y toma solo 15 minutos. ¡Su contribución puede marcar la diferencia en el futuro de la educación! Encuesta disponible en español y portugués. https://lnkd.in/guCqux7J _______ ENG: The UNESCO Chair in Science for Education invites all researchers in Latin America who investigate topics related to teaching and learning to participate in a survey aimed at getting to know the groups, issues investigated in the ongoing projects, their productions, and concerns about their professional practices. With this information, the UNESCO Chair will prepare and share a report that will allow us to know the current state of research in the area, which would also be a strategic input to explore the possibility of establishing an academic network for exchange and collaboration. Survey in Spanish or Portuguese only.

In this conversation about Knowledge Brokering, we explore the insights of Professor Roberto Lent, a distinguished neuroscientist who has dedicated his career to understanding brain plasticity and its implications for education. https://lnkd.in/gQTMh-xW The discussion, led by Bob Wise, focuses on identifying the challenges and barriers faced to efficiently bridging the gap between research and practical educational implementation. Prof. Lent mentions notable organizations and resources, including the Rede Nacional de Ciência para Educação, and the UNESCO Chair of Science for Education. This conversation also offers practical examples of how Prof. Lent and Rede Nacional de Ciência para Educação have built a relationship between scientists and practitioners. Prof. Lent's quote clearly explains the main topic of this conversation: "More important, more interesting, and more amusing are the questions than the answers. So, but, of course, we have to have answers. Otherwise, won't change the world." Join the conversation!
