Innovation in teaching Laura Innocenti Istituto Comprensivo “C. Casteller” - Paese (Treviso) - Italy
Why innovation in education? Today’s students want an education that meets their individual needs, and opportunities that connect them to what is happening around the globe. Students inhabit a borderless world offering limitless connection, data and mobility. They can choose to access knowledge and participate in dialogue on a global scale. They need education delivered in ways that are compatible with and support their world-view and their bond with communication technology.
What is innovation about Innovation is about doing things in new or different ways It may range from continuous improvement of existing practices through to transformation of how we achieve goals or rethinking what those goals are.
Which innovations have we brought in our school? Disciplinary classes Flipped learning CLIL Extra-school activities during school time
Disciplinary classrooms Specific classrooms for each subject Students move from one classroom to another New approach in Italy
Flipped Learning Pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space The resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter
Flipped Classrooms Pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed Short video lectures are viewed by students at home before the class session, while in-class time is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions. The video lecture is often the key ingredient in the flipped approach, such lectures being either created by the instructor and posted online or selected from an online repository. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnO9aqvA1UBc0M59epdP_0g
