Leerdoelen | How would you redesign your own educational experience? This is the central question to this masterclass. To answer this question, you will explore a series of multidisciplinary perspectives in the field of education, presented to you by both scholars and practitioners from different scientific backgrounds. You will use these perspectives to reflect on your academic career (e.g. bachelor, master, honours). The main objective of the course is to stimulate personal leadership in reflecting on how you have made choices in your academic study path, your best and worst learning experiences, and your role in the success of your educational programs. If you would like to turn your reflections into actions, you can subsequently follow the Leadership Lab Rebuilding Education. In this Leadership Lab, you will develop and execute a plan to make an educational redesign, inspired by your conclusions from the masterclass. During the Leadership Lab, you will make a start in implementing your actions at the university, by finding and cooperating with stakeholders. Check out redesigns from previous students on www.rebuildingeducation.com It is also possible to simply follow the masterclasses without doing the Leadership Lab of Rebuilding Education.

Omschrijving | By addressing the complex connections between neuroscience, cognitive development, artificial intelligence, economic and social change, and education, the course will tackle the question: where should we start Rebuilding Education? The course consists of three 2,5-hour evening sessions. In these sessions we will discuss the following themes: 1) Why do we learn? (Human Capital vs. Signaling) 2) How do we stimulate learning? (Engagement vs. Management) 3) How do we learn? (Neuroscience vs. Psychology) Each session consists of interactive lectures on the session’s theme and active group discussions. Before each session you will receive some introductory study material (research papers, websites or a video). After each session, you will apply the presented theories to your personal educational experience. At the end of the course, you will write a why-how-what essay on the main question of the course: where would you start redesigning your own education? You will use both your personal reflections and the theoretical perspectives presented to you in the course. |
