Coupling interest-based learning with qualification-based learning

BackgroundWho are we as a family?
Who am I?
Who is Deen?
Background
Background• What I value about education at D1-UPT
• Encourages students to follow interests & passions• Provides opportunities for creating new interests• Makes it normal for parents to work with child(ren) & LAs to
set and support student goals, including qualification and interest goals
• Provides environment that enables and fosters Deen’s social competence
• Our family’s struggles• To make sense of the complexities and tensions in interest-
based learning and qualification-based learning • To support Deen in the two types of learning in ways that are
meaningful
What?Sharing a framework that has emerged in my
on-going self-study research to support my son, Deen, in his education
focuses on coupling his interest-based learning with qualification-based learning
simple enough to understand and flexible enough to cater to different situations
Why share?To generate thinking and conversations about tensions in following individual
student interests and in striving for qualifications
To contribute to the collective learning and wisdom at D1-UPT merged school on how we, parents, can support our child(ren)’s
learning and achievements
My research questions
1. How can I, as a parent at D1-UPT merged school, support my son, Deen, in his learning in, through and about music and in achieving his qualification goals?
2. How can I do this in ways that are meaningful to Deen, to me, to my family, and to the school?
my role and the context
my goal
my criteria for success
The emergent framework Assumption
both types of learning are important Structure
I-B learning and Q-B learning as different phenomena that are inseparable
Processes focus on making sense of Deen’s interest-based learning and
qualifications-based learning using one to influence the other in meaningful ways

Reflections of learning•Deen’s learning• Picked up complexity thinking
• More confident and adept at coupling his interests with his qualifications
• Knows coupling IB and QB learning does involve more work• Does it because he sees value in it
• Aware of the need to organise his work and his documents• Learning ways of documenting and organising
Reflections of learning•My learning• Learnt a lot about NZQA, NCEA, assessments, etc.• Big picture & details• Helps me to appreciate the challenges the LAs face when
they try to support studnets to couple IB learning with QB learning• This way of supporting Deen in his learning also
supports the LA in their role
• Playing more with the idea of coupling IB learning with QB learning• Where will it go next?????
Reflections of learning•Family learning• More organised• Google Docs to document our individual & family goals• Google Calender to keep each other informed of what’s
happening with us
• Staying flexible• Daily family meetings/conversations/Skype• Pre-IEP meetings
Closing thoughts
If we make visible and share more stories about
students coupling IB learning with QB learning, then
we will see this as a normal part of life at the school
and learn from each other different ways of doing this.
