[ European/global policies on competencies and digitalised education. An explosion of the hegemonic paradigm of learning?Report a broken link ]

For more than two decades now there has been fierce debate over the shift from the paradigm of teaching to that of learning, driven by international and supranational organisations, which have constantly promoted the idea that national education systems and institutions have to be ‘modernised’ in order to deal effectively with the challenges posed by globalisation. More recently, this global policy agenda has been reinforced when globalisation has been supplemented by digitalization as the rationale for education reforms in general, and in curricula, pedagogy and assessment in particular. Revisiting the critical literature on the topic and drawing on an on-going study in the Greek context on curricular reforms, in this webinar we aim to trace the deeper logic underpinning curricular reforms in school education produced by the entanglement of globalization and digitalization discourses. We shall
argue that digitalised education constitutes the infrastructure for the consolidation of the shift from teaching to learning, and perhaps the explosion of the now hegemonic paradigm of learning. The implications of this discourse for the main participants in school processes - teachers and students - will also be discussed.
