Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: Innovation,Brain,Educational Technology,Thinking Skills,Cognitive Processes,Scientific Research,Neurological Organization,Educational Theories,Interdisciplinary Approach,Learning,Teaching Methods,Creativity,Instructional Innovation

The Learning and Brain Conference for 2011 featured talks on a handful of themes including creativity, technology, education tomorrow, five minds for the future and innovation. Of these, innovation took center stage. Tony Wagner's opening plenary session became the conference prologue, examining innovation from several perspectives including seven skills that prepare students for the 21st Century. Though not present at the conference, Steven Johnson's work on the natural history of innovation provided a provocative definition and created a scene for Mind Brain Education Science, a new discipline embodying innovation itself in a digital age. Thus, this brief report on the conference examines the concept in depth. A working bibliography is included.
Culturally Relevant Education and Skill-Based Education for Sustainability: Moving towards an Integrated Theoretical and Methodological Framework
Author: Echeverria, Elizabeth
Date: 2012-04-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Qualitative Research,Citizen Participation,Culturally Relevant Education,Sustainable Development,Thinking Skills,Skill Development,Creative Thinking,Correlation,Educational Theories,Guidelines,Change Agents,Cultural Background,Futures (of Society),Teaching Methods

This study considers how educators can cultivate the skills that prepare students from all cultural backgrounds for an active role in creating a sustainable global future. These skills include systems thinking skills, collaborative skills, creative and critical thinking skills, self-directed inquiry skills, and skills for active citizenship. Through review of literature and original, qualitative research, the study examined the relationship between (1) the goals of skill-based education for sustainability and (2) the goals of culturally relevant education. This led to an examination of how they combine to mutually prepare students to be agents of positive change. Based on this research the study developed a theoretical framework that combined both strands of educational theory, creating one framework titled: "Culturally Relevant, Skill-based Education for Sustainability." In addition, this research investigated practical applications of this framework in the classroom in order to serve as a resource for teachers. The fully formed framework for "culturally relevant, skill-based education for sustainability" can be found in the appendix.
Teaching Mathematics in the Pre-School Context
Author: Backman, Kerstin
Date: 2012-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Pedagogical Content Knowledge,Mathematics Instruction,Preschool Teachers,Preschool Children,Knowledge Base for Teaching,Algebra,Foreign Countries,Teaching Methods,Teacher Competencies

The aim of this study is to describe what kind of knowledge base is needed when pre-school teachers work goal-oriented with children's mathematical learning. The question of this study aims to answer is: What kind of knowledge base do pre-school teachers need when they work with the object of learning in the pre-school context? Both as a theoretical and an analytical framework, we use variation theory. In all, four pre-school teachers are involved in the study. The research results indicate that it is important for pre-school teachers to have subject and pedagogical content knowledge in order to recognize children's experiences and be aware of their expressions.
