Finnland reformiert sein Schulsystem | Competency | LEARNing To LEARN for the workplace | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

"Von Lehrern kann erwartet werden, dass sie über ihr Fach hinausdenken, mit anderen Berufen kooperieren."

 

Von den Schülern kann man keine wesentlich besseren Fähigkeiten zur Interaktion und Beteiligung erwarten, als das alltägliche Vorbild in der Schulgemeinschaft zulässt. Die wichtigste Aufgabe der Schule ist es daher, den Boden für eine Gesellschaft des Vertrauens zu bereiten. Und von Lehrern kann erwartet werden, dass sie über ihr Fach hinausdenken, mit anderen Berufen kooperieren. So werden die Schüler in Problemsituationen die jeweils angemessene fachliche Hilfe erhalten.

Schulreform in Finnland: Weniger Fächer, mehr Wissen | EDUcation4.0

Schulreform in Finnland: Weniger Fächer, mehr Wissen | EDUcation4.0 | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Finnland gilt seit den Pisa-Tests als Schullabor der Welt. Jetzt probieren die Reformer etwas Neues aus: weniger Fachunterricht, mehr Kompetenzvermittlung. Sogar bei den Noten sollen Schüler mitreden dürfen.


Das Streben nach Ganzheitlichkeit zeigt sich im finnischen Reformprogramm sehr deutlich. Die Bildungsplaner haben sieben Kompetenzbereiche definiert, unter anderem: Kulturen kennenlernen, umfassende Informationsgewinnung, Beherrschen der Informationstechnologien, Arbeitswelt und Unternehmertum sowie Aufbau der nachhaltigen Zukunft. Im Mittelpunkt des Ganzen soll der Schüler stehen, der als Mensch und Bürger Spaß am Lernen hat - und das nicht nur im Klassenzimmer. Wenn es passt, soll Unterricht verstärkt draußen stattfinden, auf dem Land oder in der Stadt.

Schools in Finland will no longer teach 'subjects' | EDUcation CHANGE | Teaching by Topic

Schools in Finland will no longer teach 'subjects' | EDUcation CHANGE | Teaching by Topic | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

For years, Finland has been the by-word for a successful education system, perched at the top of international league tables for literacy and numeracy.

.

Pasi Silander, the city’s development manager, explained: “What we need now is a different kind of education to prepare people for working life.

.

“Young people use quite advanced computers. In the past the banks had lots of  bank clerks totting up figures but now that has totally changed.

.

We therefore have to make the changes in education that are necessary for industry and modern society.

.

Subject-specific lessons – an hour of history in the morning, an hour of geography in the afternoon – are already being phased out for 16-year-olds in the city’s upper schools. They are being replaced by what the Finns call “phenomenon” teaching – or teaching by topic. For instance, a teenager studying a vocational course might take “cafeteria services” lessons, which would include elements of maths, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.

.

More academic pupils would be taught cross-subject topics such as the European Union - which would merge elements of economics, history (of the countries involved), languages and geography.

This is what school librarians have been doing forever!

María Florencia Perrone's curator insight, April 8, 2015 4:00 PM

The world around us is not labelled or divided in categories, then why is academic content? Can we not relate topics and elaborate meaning on the basis of relationships and intertwined data? 

Dr. Helen Teague's curator insight, April 13, 2015 9:11 PM

I wonder if this would work in the U.S.? Also, in Finland, students do not take standardized tests until the end of high school (Zhao, 2012, p. 111), so thankfully, perhaps the drill and kill process is diminished.

Highly trained, respected and free: why Finland's teachers are different

Highly trained, respected and free: why Finland's teachers are different | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Welcome to a country where teaching is a highly prized profession. Finland’s teachers have kept the nation near the top of the influential Pisa performance rankings since they were first published in 2001, leading to an influx of educational tourists as other teachers have endeavoured to learn from the Finnish experience.


The high-level training is the basis for giving young teachers a great deal of autonomy to choose what methods they use in the classroom – in contrast to England, Krokfors says, where she feels teaching is “somewhere between administration and giving tests to students”. In Finland, teachers are largely free from external requirements such as inspection, standardised testing and government control; school inspections were scrapped in the 1990s.


“Teachers need to have this high-quality education so they really do know how to use the freedom they are given, and learn to solve problems in a research-based way,” Krokfors says. “The most important thing we teach them is to take pedagogical decisions and judgments for themselves.”

Teachers' basic training is very qualified. To make sure that the quality of teaching stays on high level we should invest on in-service training of all teachers. The world and society is developing faster and faster every day...
