I suppose the Venn diagram illustrated above represents Nirvana for teachers and wider educators looking to develop a paradigm, and practical implementation strategy for 21st-century learners.

Unfortunately, with the exception of Finland where the links between neuroscience and psychological research and practice in the classroom are established, we are some way away from developing such a powerful catalyst for reflective change.

Certainly, research is producing more informed insights into practical ways learning can be adapted to be more effective by meeting the needs of individual learners. In doing this it is promoting pupils to be more effective independent and autonomous learners, which should be the goal of any education system.

About educationalist04

I'm convinced we can, as a species, do much better than this if we set our minds to being much more positive and productive towards our fellow humans. The solution is learning - creating independent and autonomous learners who can problem solve, innovate and create a better more equitable and sustainable world. My books, Future Proof Your School and Re-Examining Success together with this blog, explore how better learning outcomes for all can be achieved.
