The distinguished speakers include:
The conference presented the findings of the new edition of Measuring Innovation in Education, which examines what has (or has not) changed for students over the past decade in OECD and some non-OECD education systems. The book reviews about 150 educational practices and casts light on systemic innovation in primary and secondary education, with a focus on pedagogical innovation. Has the use of technology spread? Have assessments become more important in pedagogical practices? Are students given more agency in their learning? Are they still asked to memorise facts and procedures? Do teachers increasingly engage students in peer learning activities? These are some of the questions this book seeks to answer. This report also presents some preliminary findings about the links between innovation and educational performance.
Beyond presenting and discussing these new findings, the public conference discussed how measuring innovation in education could help better understand its different forms, drivers and impediments, how and when it contributes to educational improvement, and what different measurement approaches and objectives could be followed. Some country initiatives to measure and understand innovation in education in different countries will be presented. This public discussion will feed the next phase of the CERI project on measuring innovation in educatoin that will consist of developing a new survey instrument to measure innovation in education at all levels of the education system. The project is supported by the European Union.
