The document discusses rethinking education models to better incorporate digital technologies and develop key competences. It suggests that only 20% of classroom time should be spent in traditional lectures, with the remaining 80% used for project-based learning that allows students to apply their knowledge. Evaluation should focus on communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration skills rather than only test scores. Developing digital and scientific competences is also emphasized through updating curricula and assessments to focus on acquiring competencies.

1. Digital and Scientific
Competences
IIS Ferrari - Mercurino February 12, 2020

2. The 8 European Competences

3. Studying for our whole life

4. Our task: Rethinking School

5. A new Classroom

6. Without putting aside the traditional class

7. 80% of the learning takes place outside the classroom

8. Let’s try to bring the outside into the classroom

9. The past
To go to school and sit there, listen and
memorise
To go to a library and get a book
That’s the way people learned things (or
better still learn…)

10. The present? The future!
You can get everything on your phone
You don’t have to sit in a class or a lecture
But the whole model of Education is still based
on sitting in a class or lecture
Students love technology
Give them the opportunity to explore using
technology

12. The tests are still important but not the final aim

13. Evaluation on the 4 C’s
Do the students know how to
Communicate?
Are they Creative?
Do they have Critical thinking skills?
What about Collaboration attitude?

15. How can teachers implement their class/lecture?
They don’t have to get rid of the traditional
class/lecture
They should use 20% of their time in the
classroom
They should give their students the
possibility to work on a project that employs
the things they have just learned
That makes the learning relevant

16. Every School needs a new “curricolo”
The curricolo in the Italian School is a project
that includes all the subjects
It should implement the 8 European
competences
Each subject should have a syllabus that aims
to acquire a series of competences
However only a good knowledge could lead the
student towards a correct competence
Assessing the competence
