Transcript of για αποτελεσματική εκπαίδευση...on his constructive developmental model...
Διεθνές Workshop για Υπεύθυνους Εκπαίδευσης με τίτλο:
Transformative Adult Learning για αποτελεσματική εκπαίδευση
Το παραπάνω βιωματικό εργαστήριο, το οποίο αποτελείται από δύο μέρη, είναι σχεδιασμένο για
εκπαιδευτές ενηλίκων οι οποίοι ενδιαφέρονται για θεωρίες και πρακτικές μέσω των οποίων θα
μπορούν να εργαστούν πιο αποτελεσματικά όσον αφορά στους προσωπικούς και επαγγελματικούς
τους στόχους.
Ημέρα 1η: Η ενότητα «Αντίσταση στην Αλλαγή» («Immunity to Change») παρουσιάζει γιατί και με
ποιο τρόπο οι ενήλικοι αντιστέκονται δυναμικά στην αλλαγή, ακόμα και όταν η αντίσταση αυτή
τους εμποδίζει από την επίτευξη των στόχων τους. Αρχικά, κάθε συμμετέχων καθοδηγείται στο να
«χαρτογραφήσει» τις δικές του αόρατες αντιστάσεις. Οι επόμενες δραστηριότητες επιδεικνύουν
πώς μπορεί να αξιοποιηθεί η παραπάνω ανακάλυψη προκειμένου να σχεδιαστεί μια θετική,
συνεχής ανάπτυξη και αλλαγή.
Ημέρα 2η: Η ενότητα «Μαθαίνοντας να εμπλέκουμε/ να αξιοποιούμε τον ενήλικο εγκέφαλο»
(«Engaging the Adult Brain») περιγράφει πώς οι ενήλικοι μαθαίνουν στην πραγματικότητα,
καθώς και τους λόγους για τους οποίους συχνά αποτυγχάνουν να μάθουν ό,τι ζητείται από
αυτούς. Οι συμμετέχοντες θα έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σχεδιάσουν εκπαιδευτικές δραστηριότητες
που ευνοούν την ουσιαστική και μετασχηματίζουσα μάθηση (transformative learning).

Learning and Professional Development at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education.

organizational learning.
