G2: Effective and individual learning path

Mr. Juha Ollila

Effective and individual learning path so that every student can excel and thrive in a rapidly evolving world- Individual education is the process of contouring learning to the students, recognizing that all students have different strengths and weaknesses, different interests and different ways of learning. Individual learning is finding the best ways to engage with students with different interests, passions and ways of thinking by creating individualized education plans for every student and conducting personalized assessment of students.

G3: Futur working (transversal) skills

Dr. Annica Isacsson

One fourth of the jobs will disappear according to a bank in recent news (01.10.2017). New jobs will eventually emerge, but will require quite different competences. Transversal skills are skills which have been learned in one context and are transferable or transferred to another situation/problem/ context.
According to the World Economic Forum 65 % of those who start school today will work in professions that do not yet exist today. The competence requirements of future working life will change, radically. It is not only automation, globalization or machinelearning that change future work, but the rules of work.
In the workshop we will work in groups around 21st century working life skills & competences / transversal skills. We will engage ourselves in discussing what implications transversal skills have on education, learning and assessment. We will hear the latest research in the topic.
