The document discusses innovating in education and educating for innovation. It argues that incremental innovations often fail in education systems due to inertia, while disruptive innovations that grow on the margins can succeed by changing systems over time. The document proposes establishing partnerships between researchers and teachers to conduct action-research projects, with mixed teams assessing challenges and progress. This would support sustained system innovation, cultural change, and making students more creative and innovative.

Total quality (TQ) is a passion and a way of life for those organizations that live its message. The problem is how to generate the passion and the pride required to create quality in education. The significance of leadership for undertaking the transformation to TQ should not be underestimated. A key aspect of the leadership role in education is to train and empower teachers to give them the maximum opportunity to improve the learning of their students. Technology and innovative ideas are the other important tools for them.
Not only in Turkey, but in many countries “training innovative minds through quality in education and technology use” has gained importance recently. Many educators and educational leaders are trying to find out the meaning of “quality” in education through the further technological innovations. This tendency seems to be changing the educational paradigm with respect to the Internet technologies. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are getting very popular especially in American and European universities. Through some well-known IT companies teachers are trying new ways instead of the traditional ones. Experts think that the Internet and some other innovative ideas might be significant for the national systems of education as they may become the basis for the emerging global education system.

Contemporary Issues and Challenges in the Indian Education SystemDr. Amarjeet Singh
Education is the root of each nation. A nation won't
have the capability to make due in the alert world, if its
guidance framework isn't fit for contributing for its
enhancement. Indian training framework is broadly criticized
in multi-measurements for its inability to make required
employability in its understudies as per the business
prerequisites and its failure to add to comprehensive
development in the country all in all. This paper deeds to
feature the issues and give a few answers for purpose them.
The study utilizes optional information from different
accessible sources. The analyst presumes that the issues in the
present training framework that are overwhelming the
development of this nation can be handled successfully if
helpful and submitted moves are made by the Government to
determine them.

Learning and Education in the Networked SocietyEricsson Slides
It took 100 years to connect 1 billion places and 25 years to connect 5 billion people. Today, 85 percent of the world’s population has access to mobile communications, and by 2020 we expect there to be 50 billion connected devices.
Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are making the school desk as we know it obsolete. Today’s progressive schools are having their classrooms rebuilt to turn them into multifunctional spaces to enable new ways of learning. A new Ericsson Networked Society report, "Learning and Educations in the Networked Society" , shows that introducing ICT in schools affects six principal areas.

Slides of my presentation at the keynote debate on Digital Scholarship of ED-MEDIA 2011. The debate followed an Oxford-style 'competitive debate' format, where a motion is put forward and two debaters argue, one in favor of the motion and the other against it. Martin Weller, from the Open University, UK, had the task of arguing for the motion. I had the task of arguing against it. Following our presentations, we have briefly responded to each others' arguments, after which the debate has been open to questions and comments from the floor. At the conclusion of the session, the votes from the audience have been cast. The results have been as follows: For the motion - 33%; Against the motion - 67%. I will be blogging about this debate very soon, and I'll keep you informed.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

6. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
Two radically different
types of innovation:
incremental innovation
disruptive innovation
If we mix them up,
innovation doesn’t happen
7. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
INCREMENTAL INNOVATION
Incremental innovations build on
existing thinking, products, processes,
organizations, or social systems
They can be routine improvements
or they can be dramatic breakthroughs
but
they address the very core
of what already exists
8. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
INCREMENTAL INNOVATION
Examples of incremental innovations:
• Airplanes that fly farther
• Batteries that last longer
• Televisions with clearer images
• Computers that process faster
• Schools where students learn
better by regularly using the Net
9. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
Disruptive innovations are addressed to
people who do not have any solutions
They take root in simple, undemanding
applications that are not breakthrough
People are happy to use them, in spite of their
limitations, because no other solutions exist
They do not compete with anything
10. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
But as they gain strength in the
realm of non-competition
they evolve very fast
and end up replacing
the traditional solutions
11. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
An example of disruptive innovation:
The personal computer is an example of a disruptive innovation
In the 1970s the professional computer market was occupied
by 100,000 € minicomputers produced by Digital
Equipment Corporation (DEC), Data General and HP.
The first personal computers (like the Spectrum
and the Apple II) were ridiculously limited,
and completely out of that market.
12. 1. TYPES OF INNOVATION
DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION
They were supposed to be used mainly
as toys by children and their parents.
But they quickly grew up, in this unexplored market
Ten years later, in the 1980s, they were much more
powerful, and starting to erode the minicomputer market
Twenty years later, in the 1990s, the minicomputer
market collapsed in favour of the PC market
DEC and Data General don’t exist any more

5. CONCLUSIONS
14. 3. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
From the point of view of
the sociology of innovation
educational systems
are networks of actors
that reinforce each other
into stable configurations
These stable configurations
tend to prevent change
16. 2. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
Some experts in innovation claim that
in such conservative echo-systems
it is impossible to produce
innovations with lasting effects
the inertia of the system dilutes
or distorts the innovations
and converts them
to the reigning uniformity
It is like pouring water in the desert
17. 2. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
I don’t share this radical view
Incremental innovation in
educational systems has
a high failure rate
but it can be explored
if sound innovation strategies
are crafted and managed
relying on dependable social theories,
such as Actor-Network-Theory
Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2005
18. 2. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
The promising path to innovation
in the educational systems is
through disruptive innovation
that quietly grows in the margins
of the system, unobtrusively
until it starts changing
it, irreversibly
Clayton M. Christensen is an
inspiring author on this topic
McGraw-Hill, New York, 2008
19. 2. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
Examples of disruptive innovations in the school systems:
• Courses provided on-line to a region
or a whole country, namely:
• courses for gifted students
• enrichment classes for
special-needs children
• optional courses in the languages,
arts, humanities, economics
• distant support to homebound
and home-schooled students
• private tutoring
20. 2. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
• Pilot schools trying out
new school models
• Special schools for students wishing
to follow project-based learning
• Experimental schools aimed at changing
transformationally the degraded social
communities to which they belong
21. 2. INNOVATING IN EDUCATION
These are examples of opportunities for
disruptive innovation that don’t clash against
the mainstream educational echo-system
In this way, innovation can
incubate at leisure until it
matures up to a level where
it can be transposed to the
mainstream system

Educating a creative and innovative
generation requires other concerns
besides those related to
language, maths and science
Ten years ago, in the early days of the
Blair government, a commission led
by Sir Ken Robinson produced
a 240-page report on how to make
progress in the creative and cultural
development of young people
NACCCE, UK, 1999
25. 3. EDUCATING FOR INNOVATION
Unfortunately, the report
has been ignored
Last May, the BBC celebrated
the 10th anniversary of its neglect
Studies and research reports keep
being produced all over the world
insisting, for instance, on the
importance of the epistemologies of
Design and of the Visual Arts
Arts Council England, UK, December 2008
26. 3. EDUCATING FOR INNOVATION
The formative role of the engineering
paradigms is also critical
The distinct epistemologies of science
and engineering should be understood:
“science explains what exists”
“engineering creates what never existed”
Theodore Von Kármán
Children should learn to “explain
what exists” but they should also learn
to “create what never existed”
National Academy of Science, USA, 2009
That’s creativity and innovation!
27. 3. EDUCATING FOR INNOVATION
Very innovative experiments,
engaging thousands of
teachers, are under way
such as those conducted by
Kieran Egan’s Imaginative
Education Research Group (IERG)
But they all have
one thing in common:

28. 3. EDUCATING FOR INNOVATION
If they remain at the margins of the
conventional educational echo-system
following a disruptive path
or if they are based on
very cautious, strategically
managed, incremental innovation
they succeed
and produce lasting effects

Otherwise
and that’s what we
witness most of the time
they fail

31. 4. A SOLUTION
STILL ONE PROBLEM:
In a world that keeps changing,
who knows how to progress?
Who teaches who?
How can we set up an organic,
reflective follow-up process,
that analyses difficulties,
assesses consequences, and
clarifies how to progress?
32. 4. A SOLUTION
MY ANSWER:
By establishing lasting partnerships between
research units and school communities
around action-research and design-research
projects conducted by mixed teams of
academic researchers and school teachers
in a reflection about how school
curricula and pedagogical practices
can evolve in this changing world
33. 4. A SOLUTION
These projects should be financially
supported and assessed on the basis
of their contribution to sustained:
• system innovation and cultural change
• enhancement of didactical approaches
• improvement of educational practices
34. 4. A SOLUTION
The national and international publication
and presentation of the results of these
projects, by members of the mixed teams
and the dialogue and mutual help:
• face-to-face (at conferences)
• at a distance (in social networks)
strengthens sustained reflective practices
and further mobilizes all the parts
35. 4. A SOLUTION
These projects also provide:
• contextual alternatives
to teacher training
• opportunities for MScs
and PhDs “in the field”
• “authentic” opportunities
for teacher assessment
