The Role of Thinking, Experimenting and Communicating in the Science LabeLearning Papers
Authors: Victòria Carbó i Cortina, Teresa Pigrau i Solé, Rosa M. Tarín i Martínez.
In this article, we discuss early childhood and primary science education supported by ICT. We propose an approach that incorporates thinking, experimenting and communicating as a means to develop technical and scientific thought, in addition to encouraging pupils to control their learning outcomes and work together.
Concept map for future artifact ecosystems to replace etextbook approach
http://tihane.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/etextbook2.jpg
Our paper discusses the niche technologies that have and possibly will contribute to the future e-textbooks as a new socio-technical regime. We propose the conceptual map of textbook functionalities aiming at opening the conceptual discussion for brainstorming and finding scenarios how the niche technologies that explored novel textbook applications in learning might be best combined into the new “artifact ecosystems” regime. Jointly with workshop participants we aim to come up with metaphors and concepts depicting learning in this regime.

Sustaining ECEC teachers’ professionalism through participatory research.Arianna Lazzari
In recent years the issue of ECEC quality and staff professionalization gained an increasing attention internationally both at academic and policy level. Despite this growing interest very little research has been conducted on these topics according to a participatory approach that engage with service stakeholders (practitioners, children and families, local administrators). The symposium presents the findings of two small-scale studies carried out in pre-school settings of two cities in Northern-Central Italy: Bologna and Modena. In these contexts participatory approaches to research in early childhood settings are embedded in local pedagogical traditions nurtured within the experience of municipal institutions and they recently gained new momentum within certain strands of academic research (Bove, 2009; Mortari, 2007). From this standpoint the studies presented share common aims and methodology: furthering a systemic approach to ECEC quality by providing teachers with professional support within a participatory research framework that sustains their collegial reflectivity on everyday practices.
Methodological innovation for mathematics education researchChristian Bokhove
In this talk I will highlight how innovative research methods can help us in answering research questions for mathematics education. Some examples will be:
The use of social network analysis for communication networks of trainee mathematics teachers, as well as interactions in the mathematics classroom.
The use of sequence analysis for analysing data from an online mathematics tool.
The usefulness of open approaches to improve research transparency.
I will draw these projects together to sketch some interesting directions for mathematics education research.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. A couple of notes to begin with
• In Estonia, the current success in education (incl. top 10 in PISA) is a result of longterm
systemic work on
• taking up sings of new knowledge (research) in the world
• cooperation on different levels,
• curriculum development,
• teacher initial education and continuing professional learning,
• preparation of futures scenarios of national and educational development.
• The concepts of “teacher education”, “Lifelong learning” (LLL), “qualification”
underline engagement into curriculum development, research, reflective practice, cultural
aspects.
• Teacher professionalism includes also self-development, ethics and social skills (incl co-
operation).
• The pandemic period appeared to be a good accelerator of processes and models, leading
to develop pervasive practices, whose impact is already visible in Estonian schools.
4. On Content
• Co-operative thinking /co-thinking (CoT)
• Co-thinking (CoT) – some remarcs on theory and development
• CoT as technic/technology
• CoT as an art
• Use of CoT
• Analysis
• Implication-practices
• Enrichment (AI, follow-up activities, etc)
Perspectives
5. E-S Sarv 2023 5
CoT => Renewal of Estonian education from 1987
onwards - development in a situation of constant change
Characteristic of the process, the era:
Entrepreneurship and enthusiasm
Adoption and adaptation thanks to
- broad knowledge and experience
- ability and desire to learn
- creativity
- methods, incl :
grassroot participation (thanks to the semiconducted work of teams, groups)
collaboration between power and enthusiasts
empowerment of teachers
knowledge-creation
At the same time:
a number of mental models, ways of doing things rooted in everyday consciousness, traditions and rules in
society prevent innovations and changes.
7. Professional learning/development
Individual
books, WWW
Activities
- In formal school work
- In “hobby”education
(groups of interest in school,
interest-schools etc
(incl together with students)
Collaborative
Methods of collaboration
Group-work methods
…
Participative
reseach and
reflection
E-S Sarv 2023 7
8. Co-thinking – some remarcs on theory and
development
Knowledge monopoly
20-21 century
– from professors-academics-teachers-books to media, groups
21 century : loss of knowledge monopoly, loss of trust
- CoThinking in/of groups
- AI, ChatGPT
- combination, interaction of groups, individuals, AI, …
9. CoT as technic/technology
The most technological CoThinking method developed by the school of G
Schtcedrovitsky since 1960ies.
• “conflict” – technology: New ideas and solutions are born when the
personal beliefs of the participants are brought to "contradiction,
conflict with oneself" - "negative dialectics”
• The entire activity of the game-leader and the group's game technicians:
- highlighting contradictions, sharpening them and noting new ideas,
fixing them
Estonian technology -
• Positive dialectic – mutual enrichment, creation of new knowledge
based on awareness and combination of differences in knowledge fields
10. CoT as an art
• The process of thinking together, both in groups and as interaction
between groups, requires flexibility
• - "grabbing" unforeseen situations and ideas,
• - in perceiving, amplifying, visualizing their potential,
• - when achieving a meta-level view,
• - interpretation-"translation" of visualizations, etc.
• Thought technology is not enough for the above!
The most difficult part of CoT is getting, analysing and meta-level
summaries of group work, presentations. The Configurator
11. Configurator – methodology of CoT analysis
The most difficult part of CoT is getting, analysing and meta-level
summaries of group work, presentations.
Thinking Bees group Talgujad (Est) have developed a configurator
analysis technique/technology/method.
1982 – levels/steps of content-understanding (V. Ruttas) – material,
content, form
2011 – steps/degrees of substantive understanding
2022/23 - design of configurators, directed configurators for versatile
description, analysis, understanding of systems
14. 21st century
Transition from natural science and social engineering approaches,
(consistently pursued by Shchedrovitsky, Russia) to humanitarian and,
so to speak, “participatory” approaches
Participatory approaches
- controlled impact of interested parties, controlled participation
…..
- participants as creators - those who are influenced and those who
influence belong to the same social reality.

17. Use of CoT – Why CoT
To work with complex systems (teachers communities, school lesson
physics problems, …. , social development scenarios) is necessary
the interaction of different knowledge and competences,
which is offered by Co-Thinking, different Co-Thinking groups and methods.
To enrich teacher’s knowledge, develop mental models – CoT & groupwork
are the most effective means.
Working in groups, thinking together, positive dialectics cultivates mutual
respect, striving for mutually beneficial solutions.
In this way, it supports common mental and emotional well-being from
kindergarten onwards.
18. Example. School-development (2020 – 2035) workshops –
based on group work process - CoT (photos - Pärnu Adult high
school 2019)

19. Controversies
• Rhetorics sounds “right” <--> deeds might be quite opposite
• E-environmental diversities, freedom, multi-sources <--> organisation
of knowledge into systems of knowledge (need for new qualities of
personal knowledge management)
• “Decentralised centralisation” in education, incl a great part of CPD
• Norming (official and hidden) <--> research and knowledge based
development, dynamic
• Acnowledged need for research and monitoring of CPD etc <-->
increasing lack of finances
• Professional frames (EU, Nation, Local, cultural) <--> practices,
learning environments, excpectations (teachers/parents/pupils,
society)
20. Organized thinking activities in teacher education and CPD,
in classroom.
In Western countries
• Brain-storming 1930 A.Osborne
• Think tanks 1945

21. E-S Sarv, 2023 21
Vision and Strategy Estonian Education and society 2035
- individual unhindered learning-trajectors and an open
learning spaces /evironments (for institutional and unformal
education and lifelong learning)
Multi-environments, combination of: face-to-face, co-
operative, virtual, research, ... etc.
Integrated, symbiotic, holistic methodology of learning-
teaching (interactive integrated methodology, lecture is
“out”).
