'Better' compared to what? Shouldn't we be imagining the futures we would like to have and work towards designing / achieving those futures? And who is going to be part of this process of 'transformative / future making education'? https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696343605 2021-08-25 16:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696343605 beckybergman https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696349078 So how do we show the complexity of individuals in our research while at the same time being able to "label" or find individuals in the system? ]]> 2021-08-25 16:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696349078 Better as in more equal, in sync with nature/the world, and less self centered maybe? g_j_beek https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696351940 I like the world and living in it but there is definitely room for improvement [Im not one of the authors, just to be sure]

For example, we experience the tension between critique and construction ourselves, even in educational design (which is not that utopian, of course). Utopia is complex ;). How can one give students the space to question and reflect?  (not so much q & a, but question for thought) (Alexa)

For the time being the point is: why is formal education so little "situated" in its territorial context?

[Alessio Surian] https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696364569 2021-08-25 16:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696364569 Exactly, I was thinking of the same question (Alfredo) https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696365737 2021-08-25 16:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696365737 Let me rephrase an answer to the question of "better futures"; let's start for an education that allows for the possibility of having a future at all! If human civilization continues in the direction it is headed, there may be no future at all! So, let's start for an education that not just "talks" bout what you need to have for a better future, but which engages itself to ensure that there is such a future to begin with (Alfredo) https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696379658 2021-08-25 16:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696379658 So this is a theoretical contribution sangeetabaggagupta https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696384920 2021-08-25 16:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696384920 In my view, one thing XR does is act based on the knowledge we have. This is more in line with educative principles than ignoring the knowledge we have (Alfredo) https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696390888 2021-08-25 16:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696390888 I fully agree [Alessio] https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696393906 2021-08-25 16:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696393906 Future:a way to "monitor" educational approaches to current crises is the capacity of educational programmes to trigger awareness and discussions about probable vs DESIRABLE futures; and to include decision making activities, for example participatory budget process https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696395117 2021-08-25 16:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696395117 Curious if I understood you correctly g_j_beek https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696395882 Do I understand correctly that you mean that we are all normative and that we are in a system where we often ignore the norm since we are in it? So that in that sense we could revise the norm only by going back to the question what the norm is at the moment?

For example what Bista is doing at the moment? Where is education for, what is the meaning of a diploma? Shouldn't we be more louder that the societal 'norm' in education should maybe change? Less focus on degree's etc...

Or did I just project all my thought on what you said :) ]]> 2021-08-25 16:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696395882 I think your take on Sangeeta's line of thought is right, but Sangeeta can react (Alfredo) https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696404550 2021-08-25 16:34:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Julia_Morinaj/sc0p48iewgjal52/wish/1696404550
