Educating Learners for Their Future, Not Our Past
Schleicher, Andreas
ECNU Review of Education, v1 n1 p58-75 2018
Purpose: This paper aims to examine the educational demands in the digital age from tomorrow's teachers and policy-makers, and to encourage and incentivize all actors to develop the innovative learning environments that we need for tomorrow's schools. Design/Approach/Methods: As a conceptual paper, this article has consulted and analyzed a wide range of updated data and literature to consolidate the argumentation on tomorrow's educational demands. Findings: The paper mainly provides possible answers on how to educate students for their future, rather than our past. The heart of future education is to help students develop a reliable compass and tools, transformative competency, and to navigate through an increasingly complex, volatile, and uncertain world. To fulfill this core mission, a new set of curriculum design principles, changing school system, renewed teacher culture, and an alternative assessment program are highly advocated. Originality/Value: Based on the latest observations and reflections, the paper broadens our visions on tomorrow's education and future schools.
