What future for education?

Through this course you will start to critically examine your own ideas about education, teaching and learning. The critique will be developed through engagement with theories and ideas developed through educational research. You will be encouraged to use these ideas to challenge or support your own ideas about education. Each week we will focus on one key question, using video lectures, key readings and challenges to explore some commonplace notions about education. With the guidance of the course team, you will be asked to use these ideas to critically reflect on your own understandings and experience. By the end of the course, you will have developed a personal response to the main question: what is your preferred future for education?

Insightful lectures every week, but the assignments' grading criteria is a little too simplistic and does not push students to really think further about the future of education.

well organized

The course was very well organized.

Very well organized.

These interviews are mainly focused on one topic in each interview but they seem to me that the answers are not well organized and the points are sometimes separate so that each point cannot go deep.

The course is very well organized and structure of individual lessons provokes to think, relate to our own experiences to enhance understanding.

rather than

This may be more due to my personal interests rather than any fault of the course, however!

I feel like it is slightly more directed at teachers and those who have a career in education, rather than individuals interested in the topic.

thought provoking

It wasn't exactly swinging from the chandeliers, but It was very thought provoking as a general look at education.

Most informative and thought provoking particularly as I teach across two educational systems.

my only

My only recommendation would be to lose the padlet - it seems trivial compared to the rest of the course functions.

(My only regret is that my execution of the final project flagged a bit, mostly because I was fatigued and had many other obligations around the time of the "Ted Talk" project deadline.)

own thinking

In my view, it gave all participants plenty of food for thought, while also leaving them plenty of room for their own thinking, expressing their own thoughts and coming to their own conclusions.

I recommend doing this course if you are self-led as a learner and motivated to develop your own thinking, as a lot of your learning falls to you and your responsibilities over your reflective blog.
