What future for education? #WFE1

Reflection Лондонский университет, UCL Institute of Education First week final reflection on learning for #WFE1: what I will be able to get out of this course; what ideas I already have about the future of education. I enjoyed the first week of the course 'What future for education?' by UCL Institute of Education. It focused me on some important issues. I am a teacher, Associate professor and I am interested in everything related to learning. I am constantly learning and believe that it is important during all life long. In Russia, we have a traditional and authoritarian style of teaching mainly, although in commercial structures they try to find an individual approach to students. I found the Soviet era in the 1980s, when the idea of service-training, based on the ideas of Vygotsky and Piaget, was strong, all schoolchildren were young pioneers those days, in fact, volunteer initiatives. It seems to me that learning through the service is effective and humane and in tune with some of the ideas of the article. I liked the idea of getting to know others, the world and yourself through communication with other people, through getting to know their texts, self-expression. In part, it seems to me, this will be implemented in this course. Because I have already felt the effect of enriching the opinions of many people from different parts of the world, with different cultures, interested in one topic and presenting their vision. Learning about yourself by the results of conscious interaction, experiment, the risk of self-expression is very effective! After the lecture by Dr. Hargreaves I understood more deeply that the students are scared. They may fear evaluation, authoritarianism and inconsistency of teachers, favoritism, and also come into contact with their fellow students. I liked the idea of authorship - I will definitely take it from this course. We need to create a safe environment, empowering students with authorship and freedom. Each student is the author of own vision and contributes to the general field of education. This is a constructivist approach to teaching. I was interested to hear about 4 learning objectives. My opinion has changed compared to what it was before the course. I now believe that the future lies with the following learning goals: learning to live together and learning to be. Students enjoy the learning process - they reflexively evaluate how it personally works for me. I believe that the future of learning lies in project work and a constructivist approach, when everyone is initiative and responsible for their learning.
