The Global Education Innovation Initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education supports the development of global education leadership for 21st century education by conducting research on innovative practices, training leaders, and creating a dynamic learning network of global partners interested in educational innovation.
This book presents research results from their ongoing cross-national research on how different national education systems prepare the young with the competencies they need to thrive in the 21st século.
Embora a frase “21st educação do século” muitas vezes significa uma educação que envolve tecnologia, the researchers have found that the kinds of competencies needed for work and life during a century that will likely be defined by “volatility, incerteza, complexity and ambiguity” encompass far more than technological competencies, the authors said.
In the new book, Ensinar e Aprender para o Século XXI: Metas Educacionais, Políticas, e currículos das Seis Nações (Imprensa de educação de Harvard, 2016), Fernando Reimers and Connie K. Chung collaborated with researchers from Chile, China, Índia, Mexico and Singapore for more than 18 months to synthesize research on 21st century skills and analyze national curriculum frameworks using a taxonomy reflecting that synthesis.
They also conducted case studies to discern what factors had shaped the goals and purposes of public education in the countries studied. The book may be ordered aqui.
Em particular, Chung and Reimers explored how national curricular frameworks and policies from these five countries and the United States prioritize, definir, apoiar e incentivar as competências que os alunos precisam para prosperar no 21st século.
“While discussions about educational policies are not new, existe pouca investigação que analise os mecanismos pelos quais estes objetivos e propósitos da educação são transformados em políticas e priorizados para ajudar a desenvolver e apoiar competências relevantes nos alunos,” Chung said. “We know even less about how these processes and skills may be influenced by social, political and other system contexts.”
Em todo o mundo, os sistemas educacionais ampliaram seus objetivos para incluir competências além das alfabetizações tradicionais de matemática, leitura, ciência e história. Eles podem, por exemplo, incluir um foco particular na cidadania, como no Chile ou Singapura, ou podem incluir o ensino de habilidades de pensamento de ordem superior, como na China ou nos Estados Unidos.
“Our study found that as the learning goals were broadened in these countries, os sistemas educacionais estão tentando preencher a lacuna entre as aspirações e a prática em sala de aula, in different ways and to differing degrees,” Reimers said. “Doing so successfully will require a different kind of leadership than the leadership which has been successful expanding access to schools. The challenge now is to go beyond making education systems inclusive and efficient, to making them relevant to the needs of the 21st century.”
Chung é Diretor de Pesquisa da Iniciativa Global de Educação na Harvard Graduate School of Education. Reimers é professor de prática em educação internacional da Fundação Ford e diretor da Iniciativa de Inovação em Educação Global e do Programa de Política de Educação Internacional na Escola de Pós-Graduação em Educação de Harvard..
