21st Century Learning and Teaching

Si avant 2013, l’EPE était considérée comme un élément du secteur social et de la santé et le programme pour la petite enfance ne constituait qu’une simple recommandation, ce nouveau programme est désormais obligatoire dans tous les établissements d’EPE en Finlande.

Il s’agit « d’un jalon important en faveur de la mise sur pied d’un apprentissage tout au long de la vie et de l’égalité des chances dans l’enseignement en Finlande », a souligné Luukkainen.

L’OAJ est également très satisfait de ce document, car le syndicat a joué un rôle déterminant dans son élaboration. « Cela montre à quel point il est important que les syndicats d’enseignants et le ministère de l’Education se retrouvent autour de la même table afin d’élaborer ensemble toutes les lignes directrices concernant l’enseignement », souligne Luukkainen.

Luukkainen a en outre mis en avant que la Finlande possédait désormais « la suite parfaite d’apprentissage et de programmes » pour l’éducation de la petite enfance, de l’éducation préprimaire à l’enseignement primaire.

Spend five minutes in Jussi Hietava’s fourth-grade math class in remote, rural Finland, and you may learn all you need to know about education reform – if you want results, try doing the opposite of what American “education reformers” think we should do in classrooms.

Instead of control, competition, stress, standardized testing, screen-based schools and loosened teacher qualifications, try warmth, collaboration, and highly professionalized, teacher-led encouragement and assessment.

At the University of Eastern Finland’s Normaalikoulu teacher training school in Joensuu, Finland, you can see Hietava’s students enjoying the cutting-edge concept of “personalized learning.”

Wir brauchen ein Konzept, dass ins 21. Jahrhundert passt."

Phänomene statt Fächer

Dieses Konzept, das Kyllonen mit ihren Kollegen entwickelt hat, sieht die völlige Abschaffung des bisherigen Fächerkanons bis zum Jahr 2020 vor. Stattdessen sollen die Schüler Ereignisse und Themen interdisziplinär bearbeiten - ein Ansatz, der an finnischen Schulen schon länger diskutiert wird. "Phänomen-Unterricht" nennen die Experten diese Form der Stoffvermittlung.

Ein Beispiel: Der Zweite Weltkrieg wird zukünftig in einem Projekt gleichzeitig aus historischer, geografischer und mathematischer Perspektive behandelt. Beim Thema "Arbeiten in einem Café" könnten Kenntnisse in Englisch und Wirtschaft sowie schriftliche und mündliche Kommunikationsfähigkeiten vermittelt werden.

What is Phenomenon-Based Learning?

Finland will go through a new education reform that will take over in the academic year 2016-2017. Phenomenon-Based Learning will be complementing Finland’s traditional subjects. The Phenomenon or Topic Based Learning is being planned to be conducted over periods during the year and could be paced in projects – is the old new in Finland’s education. For more than three decades, Finnish schools have had a form of Phenomenon-Based Learning. What will change in 2016-2017 is that it will be obligatory in all basic schools for seven to 16-year-olds.

Phenomenon-Based Learning tackles real-world scenarios holistically from different subject areas’ perspectives. This method will entail a rich learning experience, which is relevant to learners’ lives. The interdisciplinary learning could be conducted in a simple way, by linking similar knowledge areas between different subjects and introducing them at the same slot of the academic year.

This develops awareness of how curricula intersect to form the broader frame of knowledge. A more sophisticated interdisciplinary approach, such as Phenomenon-Based Learning occurs when we go beyond simply linking different subjects to applying, organising centers and essential questions to plan topic teaching. One example could be the questions students have about a topic such as the importance of the European Union. To answer these questions knowledge and skills from economics, history, geography and languages are to be integrated.
