A new schoolA new way of learning
Secondary education redesigned
Views on Redesign How would a school look like
if it was invented now?
Fundamental and out of the box: • Use all knowledge about learning, teaching
and business organization • Forget traditions • Ignore all regulations
but stay within• the limits of the school budget• the terms of the examinations
The reason why
• ICT makes it possible to change processes inside and outside the school
• The theory of Social Constructivism shows us that ‘learning’ needs very different processes compared to ‘teaching’.
• Recent brain-research shows us that the knowledge people use (informal) is very different from the knowledge that is defined in books, curricula or the knowledge a teacher thinks that is important (formal)……..
The nature of learning
• Learning starts at the edge of the knowing and of the not-knowing......So:
• We don’t know the moment that an individual reaches the edge
• We dont know his/her gap between knowing and not-knowing.... So:
• Schools with time tables and pre-described subject matter are not about learning
What is a traditional school about?..
• The knowledge that is communicated in books
• That can be divided in small parts and among different teachers
• That makes that a student now knows what he will learn at April 4th at 3h. p.m.
• The industrial approach of knowledge and learning
Organisation
• Industrial approach...

- Bandwidth of production-line determines the bandwidth of the possible output
- Learning = mastering the content that is received in classroom

Service-orientation:
-Student driven
- Just in time and just in case learning
- Personal capacity determines the ‘learning-range’ of the individual student
- Learning = mental and individual: creating new neural connections after a critical experience
-Goal = optimal personal development in regard to one’s capacity and the knowledge field the school focuses on.
