I would like to start doing a series of regular book recommendations. So, I can think of no better way to start that by recommending "The New Education" by Cathy Davidson. Davidson addresses so many issues within college/university education that she highlights in my opinion every major facet of higher learning. She addresses the origins and intended purposes of higher learning. As well, she tackles concepts like why college costs so much and what could possibly be done for it. The topic I liked the most though, was a dual approach where she addresses technology's role in post-secondary education. She addresses both loving tech too much, and not enough. Long story short, please consider checking out Cathy Davidson's magnificent work on the topic of the future (as well as the past and present) of higher ed. This book means quite a bit to me given my own love of education. I believe that the future will be paved from our university halls, and preserving those institutions is the first step in ensuring a future for all humanity. Is that hyperbole? No, I don't really think so. Every leader who emerges in future generations will have come to be educated through some form of post-secondary institution, whether that be a four-year university, or a trade school.

https://lnkd.in/epK-N4gz Definitely nice ideas, but seriously? You want people who are leading business schools, who got there by publishing in A list journals, to take time away from writing to develop a system that acknowledges contributions other than their own? Besides, "research rankings" of schools and departments are also tied to the same established metrics, and we wouldn't want to sacrifice our precious rankings. Other than "advancing knowledge." "valuing everyone's contributions" and "benefitting society," where is the actual payoff for those prospering in the current system?

I haven't read too many physical, bound, and spined books since graduating from University. Appreciate the gift of summer reading from the amazing principal Karen McCord. This quote stood out (page 51, Coherence by Michael Fullan and Joanne Quinn): " . . . [schools are] grappling with the tension between implementing new standards and addressing emerging digital innovations." Schools face challenges balancing implementing the traditional, and tried-and-true, with the new and wonderous world of technology. I think these next 10 years will be absolutely transformational in the world of education. #eep #emirateseducationplatform

In a study by Stanford University, researchers found that intrinsically motivated students, that is, students who had genuine interest and enjoyment in learning consistently outperformed their peers who lacked adequate motivation. One striking example was seen in a group of elementary pupils who participated in a science project. Those pupils who were intrinsically motivated, that is to say, those pupils who were curious, who desired to understand the topic, completed the concept with higher quality retained the knowledge, and consolidated it a lot better than people who needed to be externally motivated. This blog is geared towards answering the question of what I can do to motivate my child. What can I do for my child to be intrinsically motivated? A good number of learners do not think or consider the importance of studying until there is an exam facing them. The truth is that the rule of learning states that there is a need for enough interaction with the subject matter. Continue reading here: https://lnkd.in/dreQ4-Us ©️ The Intentional Parent Academy ™️

🚀✨ Exploring the Minds Behind Modern Education 🧠📚 Ever wondered about the masterminds shaping the future of education? More often than not, our perception of education is anchored in ideas rooted in the distant past. Nevertheless, there are several groundbreaking research initiatives that have been seamlessly integrated into the design of modern educational projects and even adopted by some institutions. Here is my favorite authors whose work in the field of education and psychology has become key to modern approaches to learning. I hope you will enjoy reading :) 1. John Hattie: Educational effects and the impact of teaching methods on learning outcomes. https://lnkd.in/e4kgXPSz Why It Matters? The author presents findings from an extensive meta-analysis of over 800 international studies! Get insights into the most effective teaching methods that can truly make learning visible. 2. Eric Mazur: Teaching and physics. Development of active learning methods. https://lnkd.in/eZi2Jzib Why It Matters? "Flipped Classroom" concept is an innovative approach to teaching can help increase students engagements in active classroom participation. 3. John Sweller: Cognitive load theory and the design of educational materials. https://lnkd.in/eQeUzCdX Why It Matters? Sweller's research dives into how information organization influences the effectiveness of learning. His work has significantly impacted the design of educational technologies and materials. Dive into their works to gain a profound understanding of the principles underpinning modern teaching approaches. Incorporate these insights into your own educational projects for impactful and innovative learning experiences. 💥 #EducationInnovation #LearningLeaders #EdTech #Design

Educational Innovation Consultant - highly experienced in the strategic application of learning technologies.
This is a fairly good report but when they talk about affordability they are really talking about making US residential higher education less expensive. They say this may be achieved by (i) minimising research activity and (ii) integrating longer work placements (co-ops), and (iii) running 3 semesters per year. I don't see any suggestions about improving the cost efficiency of tuition. However, the suggestions for changes to teaching (flipped classroom, projects, co-ops minimising research etc) are excellent. Adoption of this model would be a great step forward for campus based education in terms of much improved quality and some reduction in costs. I currently have an interest in higher education in low-income countries and I think this model is still too expensive.
"This white paper presents a vision for a new institution that offers high-quality, affordable bachelor's degrees in fields like computer science and business. It rejects simplistic solutions like online-only programs or eliminating humanities courses, and instead focuses on innovative pedagogy, faculty, academic calendar, co-op programs, and stackable credentials. This proposal aims to address the rising cost of higher education and debt forgiveness, while also improving the efficacy of education. It is a thought experiment, not a comprehensive plan or a commitment from MIT, but rather a set of key levers to consider in reimagining higher education." #innovative #designing #educationalinstitutions

This Leading Academic Change 2.0 Survey is a vitally important piece of determining the future relevance of higher education in our society. Innovation starts with #ideas - what are your ideas?
Just over a decade ago, Anne Keough Keehn and MJ Bishop released groundbreaking work with Leading Academic Change: An Early Market Scan of Leading-edge Postsecondary Academic Innovation Centers. The field has grown substantially in the past ten years and so has the work represented under the academic innovation umbrella: new teaching and learning models, student support, ed tech, product strategy, and more. Some might say, like online and continuing ed, academic innovation has gone from the small group of changemakers to a main hub on campus. Please take some time in the next couple of days to contribute to the Leading Academic Change 2.0 Survey. Our discipline needs and values your voice as we continue to shape the future of the field: https://lnkd.in/e3G-nPnT And for those of you interested in the findings of 1.0, they're on the quantum thinking site.

That’s the entrance examination paper of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1869. Easy, isn’t it!? That paper would be easy for most middle-schoolers today, but back then it was the benchmark to create the academic elitist. Everything that’s difficult today will be cakewalk for the future generations. The generation as a whole, not just the elite class. That paper is easy for most, not just the descendants of those who got into MIT then. And that means there will always be a fair playing field for newcomers to emerge and shine, irrespective of their background. I said it earlier, and I say it again! Whatever edge one has today, be it the best education, abundance of resources, the 140 IQ, is temporary and will diminish within a (two?) generation. Unless you use that temporary edge to create legacy - intergenerational impact. All the other accolades are temporary, and barely better than a nice dinner date, if at all.
