Global Competencies

Global Competencies

A interdisciplinary resource collection to assist Educators to co-design 'Purposeful' and 'Authentic' tasks with their students, that are socially purposeful, exploring real world issues from the mandated Curriculum. In doing so, Teachers AND students will demonstrate their Global Competencies such as Creative and Critical thinking, ICT capabilities, Ethical and Intercultural Understanding. Purposeful Pedagogies, such as Project-based Learning (PBL) using intentional, design-thinking and inquiry skills will also be showcased here in this resource collection.

Maree Whiteley's insight:
Can schools promote global competence? 
Schools play a crucial role in helping young people to develop global competence by: 
- providing opportunities to learn about global developments;
- teaching students how they can develop a fact-based and critical worldview of today; 
- equipping students with the means to analyse a broad range of cultural practices and meanings; 
- engaging students in experiences that facilitate intercultural relations; 
- promoting the value of diversity

Explainer: what is inquiry-based learning and how does it help prepare children for the real world?

Explainer: what is inquiry-based learning and how does it help prepare children for the real world? | Global Competencies | Scoop.it
From theconversation.com - April 30, 2019 4:13 PM
Inquiry-based learning emphasises a student’s role in the learning process and asks them to engage with an idea or topic in an active way, rather than by sitting and listening to a teacher. The overall goal of an inquiry-based approach is for students to make meaning of what they are learning about and to understand how a concept works in a real-world context.

Via Kim Flintoff

Kim Flintoff's curator insight, April 30, 2019 11:40 PM
"The main challenge with an inquiry approach is assessment. Standardised testing monopolises educational assessment, which puts a value on core literacies: reading, writing, computation, and the accumulation of facts and figures. Educators are only beginning to identify parameters through which they can assess students’ discovery of knowledge and making meaning."

Taking Action: Students as Global Citizens

Maree Whiteley's insight:
The Taking Action Project was a Professional Learning experience for teachers of Humanities, English and Technologies that combined aspects of human rights and social justice, outlined in topics sourced from Years 5 - 10 Australian Curriculum Geography and Civics and Citizenship. Students had the opportunity to produce a digital resource to argue their evidence-based perspective on a global issue and in doing so, demonstrate their Critical thinking, Ethical Understanding and Intercultural Understanding.  It provides a series of case studies showcasing a Project Based Learning (PBL) inquiry approach by students from Years 6 to Year 9. This publication, is an illustration of quality teaching that demonstrates how several aspects of the Australian Curriculum can be implemented by creating an authentic, student-driven task.

Project-based learning continues to be misinterpreted as a single teaching strategy rather than as a set of design principles that allow us to introduce the philosophy of inquiry into education in an intelligent and grounded way.

Teaching and assessing general capabilities - Teacher | Global Competencies | Scoop.it

How can we teach and assess general capabilities such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and research skills? Dr Claire Scoular and Jonathan Heard share details of a research project aiming to develop practical tools for use in the classroom.

Maree Whiteley's insight:
So many of the points discussed here, resonate with my current work in schools around curriculum design.
'How much focus does your school give the general capabilities? Do you have existing tools and resources? If so, what do these look like? To what extent do you draw on the curricula in reference to the skills? What tools or resources would you find useful in teaching and assessing the general capabilities? What information would be useful to know about the ability of your students in these skill areas?' -  Dr Claire Scoular - Masterclass at the 2019 ACER Research Conference https://goo.gl/NxoqX7

Jaden Bond's curator insight, May 25, 2019 4:04 AM
Teaching and assessing general capabilities allows students to develop and improve their critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and research skills. It is important that students use technology to develop skills and adapt goals according to available information as well as monitor their own progress. Teaching and assessing general capabilities can be applied to the classroom through open-ended learning activities and having an ongoing redefinition of the goal of the task. This is also achieved through teaching general capabilities using problem-based or inquiry-based learning.

Maree Whiteley's insight:
So much to learn from this blog post..."Participatory cultures are often creative and open rather than consumer-oriented or closed. They are multi-age, interest-based, and centered on shared interests. They are, in many respects, the opposite of an industrial school model. Participatory cultures remind us that creativity isn’t a solitary endeavor. It is nearly always to and from a community. Great ideas rarely happen in isolation. Instead, they are a part of the constant sharing back and forth of what we are learning, doing, and making. This is why it’s so valuable to show our work."

Project-based learning: essential questions and authentic tasks | Global Competencies | Scoop.it
From web.tech4learning.com - April 6, 2016 10:40 AM
The essential question drives a project and describes what you want students to think about, explore, and formulate an answer to at the end of the project. The authentic task is the work that students will do complete to help them better understand and respond to the question.
The essential question drives the “Why are we learning this?” and the authentic task drives the “What are we doing?”

 I think these samples can be used as inspiration for your own projects. And, critiquing these samples can help students think of ways to make their own productions better.What I look for in projects:The project answers a driving question.The production is made by students or documents students’ learning.The production is made for an audience.The project is open-ended, so each end production is different.The product is hosted publicly online.Read more about project based learning.

Yes...I’m always on the lookout for products created by students through project based learning experiences.
