In this series of reports by the Open University education researchers look at new forms of teaching, learning and assessment, with the hope of guiding teachers and policy makers towards new, productive innovations.
This fourth report, Innovating Pedagogy 2015, proposes ten innovations that the authors believe will have a positive effect on education.These innovations cover crossover learning, connecting formal and informal learning; crossover learning, connecting formal and informal learning; and learning through argumentation, helping pupils to develop skills of scientific reasoning and argumentation.
They highlight the importance of context-based and embodied learning, and also suggest the need for ‘computational’ thinking: solving problems using techniques from computing.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
