■ 演讲大纲：
Sino-Finnish Leaning Garden is a new education cooperation platform initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture, Finland, in 2013 in cooperation with the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. With the intention to strengthen coordination on the national level, the platform is to establish synergies among various projects and actors involved in Sino-Finnish education cooperation. Eventually their joint efforts will foster modern learning solutions that contribute to educating the talents needed for both China and Finland. I have been developing in the (digital) learning solutions area of this initiative and would be happy to develop a learning solutions research and piloting activity with Tongji.
Learning solutions - examples from recent research and development programs
Digital learning solutions have been the topic of several recent research programs and projects in Finland, involving also new pedagogic approaches and design of the physical classroom and schools. For the next phase we are developing a new Learning Evolution program as a public-private partnership and looking also international cooperation in that context.
Connecting education and real-life environments
At all levels of education it has become important to involve real-life experiences and data in the education. In higher education a common approach has been to involve cooperation with industry. Also at other levels there are opportunities to more actively involve schools to become important actors in real-life innovation and problem solving. Some recent examples will be discussed.
