Innovating Pedagogy · Editorial
‘Speculative worlds’, 'pedagogies of peace' and ‘climate action pedagogy’ feature among the latest innovations for the future of education in the 12th edition of the Innovating Pedagogy Report.
The Innovating Pedagogy 2024 report, produced by academics in The Open University's (OU) Institute of Educational Technology (IET) and researchers from the LIVE Learning Innovation Incubator at Vanderbilt University in the US, explains a further set of powerful pedagogies and innovations that hold the promise of transformative change.
The annual report is the latest edition in the esteemed series, providing innovative research in teaching, learning and assessment. The Innovating Pedagogy reports are developed for the use of teachers, policy makers, academics, students, researchers, educational technology designers, as well as anyone who is interested in pedagogical innovation and changes throughout education.
In her introduction to the report, lead author, Agnes Kukulska-Hulme, Professor of Learning Technology and Communication in IET, writes:
Challenges such as the climate emergency, the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the fragility of social trust can motivate educators to seek out approaches that will engage their students, and in doing so, lay good foundations for the future.
Professor Kukulska-Hulme adds:
For a large proportion of marginalised groups, access to education can be a real
problem. They can be denied their right to access teaching and learning, either face-to-face or at a distance. The reason for this is higher incidence of poor mental and physical health, higher probability of being excluded from school, poor attainment / employment and a lack of ‘study space’ at home. Localised deprivation, special educational needs, and low socio-economic status are also factors. They are often left behind by national educational policies.
