The Global Education Innovation Initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education supports the development of global education leadership for 21st century education by conducting research on innovative practices, training leaders, and creating a dynamic learning network of global partners interested in educational innovation.
This book presents research results from their ongoing cross-national research on how different national education systems prepare the young with the competencies they need to thrive in the 21calle siglo.
Si bien la frase “21calle educación del siglo” a menudo significa una educación que involucra tecnología, the researchers have found that the kinds of competencies needed for work and life during a century that will likely be defined by “volatility, incertidumbre, complexity and ambiguity” encompass far more than technological competencies, the authors said.
In the new book, Enseñanza y aprendizaje para el siglo XXI: Metas educativas, Políticas, y planes de estudio de las Seis Naciones (Prensa de educación de Harvard, 2016), Fernando Reimers and Connie K. Chung collaborated with researchers from Chile, Porcelana, India, Mexico and Singapore for more than 18 months to synthesize research on 21calle century skills and analyze national curriculum frameworks using a taxonomy reflecting that synthesis.
They also conducted case studies to discern what factors had shaped the goals and purposes of public education in the countries studied. El libro se puede pedir aquí.
En particular, Chung and Reimers explored how national curricular frameworks and policies from these five countries and the United States prioritize, definir, Apoyar y fomentar las competencias que los estudiantes necesitan para prosperar en el 21calle siglo.
“While discussions about educational policies are not new, Existe poca investigación que analice los mecanismos mediante los cuales estos objetivos y propósitos de la educación se convierten en políticas y se priorizan para ayudar a desarrollar y apoyar competencias relevantes en los estudiantes.,” Chung said. “We know even less about how these processes and skills may be influenced by social, political and other system contexts.”
En todo el mundo, Los sistemas educativos han ampliado sus objetivos para incluir competencias más allá de las alfabetizaciones tradicionales de matemáticas., lectura, ciencia e historia. ellos pueden, Por ejemplo, incluir un enfoque particular en la ciudadanía, como en Chile o Singapur, o pueden incluir la enseñanza de habilidades de pensamiento de orden superior, como en China o Estados Unidos.
“Our study found that as the learning goals were broadened in these countries, Los sistemas educativos están tratando de cerrar la brecha entre las aspiraciones y la práctica en el aula., in different ways and to differing degrees,” Reimers said. “Doing so successfully will require a different kind of leadership than the leadership which has been successful expanding access to schools. The challenge now is to go beyond making education systems inclusive and efficient, to making them relevant to the needs of the 21calle century.”
