The Purpose of Education and 21st Century Skills - MindLab - Week 2
Gert Biesta’s domains of purpose:
- Are schools balanced across the three domains?
- Skills in a time of hyperchange?
- How does the ‘Knowledge as a noun’ idea sit here?
Qualification as a means to an end
Understanding of how you fit and how you operate
The purpose of school. When we do reports that the reports marry up with the purpose of school
Mooda - embedded in times and processes that are out of our control
Socialisation and Subjectification are becoming
Are we still giving a justifiable qualification?
Discussion around the need to teach touch-typing - or whether it is irrelevant as students use new tools as they grow

Set up intoduces the situation
Confrontation is an issue that needs to be overcome
Resolution shows how it was solved and ties up loose ends.
ITL Research - Innovative Teaching and Learning:
We all were given one of the ITL research 21st Century Skills and Activity rubrics - our task was to plan, fil,, edit and upload a short film (-1-3 mins long) that related to our topic.
Act 1 | Act 2 | Act 3 |
Set Up | Confrontation | Resolution |
Teacher(s), Students... | Conflict(s), Problem(s)... | Level 4-5 Learning Activities saves the day? How? What do they look like? |
If learning activities are on level 1, what problems does it cause? (now-future) |
Assessments to come:
Reflect on past leadership
May be current, may be past - need to think about how our leadership theory and thinking is developed
How will leadership work applied in context
LDC2 - PLanning and longer term project - assessment is only about the planning.
Can work individually or in a group for assessments
4 weeks apart. Not massive.
Most cases can be a video and document
First assessment: What kind of thing will we be working on? Digital and Collaborative learning. What kind of data might we use? Performance in class -
Make a start in thinking about it now.
Ideas:
Being creative in how we display the learning and submit it on video, narrating, speech - cross curricular style, more future focused rather than traditional as they’ve been taught this year.
Play based learning for Maths -
Am feeling that feeling I had at ULearn last year when I was learning about UDL. I know that there’s more to this. And I need to think about how I’m teaching and the ways in which I create my tasks for my students.
Different types of collaboration
