2

From the mandatory education to the innovative methodologies

Skills certification for the 4 cultural axes (language, mathematics, scientific and technological, social-historical)

Reference to the 8 key competences of citizenship

Certification on three levels: basic, intermediate, advanced


3

From a traditional teaching method … to new methods for achieving competences:

the centrality of the student


4

Educational personalization

Giorgio Chiosso: Renowed educator – he

reminds us that starting from Rousseau, education has learned to recognise the Subject of the training

activity.


5

A common point between the 2 models must be found:

“school effectiveness” - to measure school

performace in more effective terms

“educational personalization”

School in which the Subject is important, in terms of:

Growing rate Particular intelligence Background Personal and family

expectations


6

Educational references

Howard Gardner Multiple intelligence: Subject valorization


7


Reuven Feuerstein: personalized

learning schemes based on individual aptitudes and necessities


8


Marguerite Altet Philippe Meirieu: School time divided

according to personal learning time and needs

The importance of teaching practices

The subject has to be able to control its own learning process


9

UK: Educational reform

The reform is characterized by personalization that refers not only to the styles of learning but also to methods of teaching and to the school’s capacity to function as a community of teachers, parents and students .


10

LEARNING BY COMPETENCES

The teacher asks the student to have a personal relation with the object to know, learning also from the experience in a creative way.

“learning by doing”


11

An effective educational path, learning by competences

Working through competences signifies putting into practice what has been learned favoring action – an action that is found in the educational path and respects the following criteria:

Significant

Criticality

Concrete


12

A method that updates the knowledge for gaining skills by the “digital-natives”

Mind manager

Brain booster

Fast reading

Memorizing techniques

Brain Booster

Great part of the students do not use the maximum capacity of their personal capacity. The objective of the BRAINSPRING! Activity is to help the students to obtain the best study results through a methodology that can be

used also in their future life and work environment.


14

The BRAINBOOSTER project – an educational activity dedicated to the students of the first grade

of high school, aiming at reducing school dispersion, assuring a transversal skill recovery

and promoting school achievements.

With this objective in mind, an integrating course for improving the study methods was established. It also focused on the management of the study

activity from a quantitative and qualitative point of view, with the conviction that once new methods

are learned and applied for one discipline this method can be used also on the other fields of

activity.


15

The BRAINBOOSTER PROJECT has three steps

1) Introduction to fast reading

This phase concentrates on correcting reading shortcomings that a great number of persons have. Afterwards, techniques for improving

reading speed are offered: this improves the study time and concentration ability, particularly in the

first phase of reading and revision.


16

2)Introduction to mnemonic techniques

Through the presentation of simple mnemonic techniques students gain awareness of the

mechanisms that manage the accumulation of information that can be used during study

activities and examinations.


17

3) The management of information

A radial approach to thinking is undertaking through the use of mental maps, by a screening

program 'Mind Manager', applied to:•Note making (ideas organization)

•Note taking (organization of the ideas of the others)

•Projecting - creativity


18

Education towards legality: partecipa.net

Today we notice that: 1. A widespread crisis of the civic sense, also found

in the adult world is in a decline in social participation, a closure in the private sphere.

2. The inclination to risks, transgression and autonomy, characterizes the teenager’s life.

3. The difficult intergenerational dialog has determined the creation of a “separate world” of the youth, outside the local community and institutions.

4. The values of privacy and of the emotional ties prevail among the teenagers over the social and political sphere.


19

Conclusive reflection … let’s no turn methodology in a ‘fetish' What drives the

master of a dog to go out on a winter morning at 6 a.m.?

Motivation! What is it all

about? ‘un earthly gift' that of

the humans to be the ‘engine of great works’!


28

Motivation: synergy moved by:

Profound and personal needs

Catalyzing examples (a motivated teachers is more efficient)

Superego dimension Social utility dimension Motivation is

simpler to be lived emphatically and not to impose it!
