Have fun with it!
Great session Metta and guests, Thank You! Based on my research for a MSc (Earth Sciences) and a MEd (Educational Foundations) I totally agree with Ms Basu on transforming away from the Western school pedagogy towards a more localized intelligence development. Global education is becoming standardize emphasizing economic based thinking, producing knowledge conformity, when education should be creating knowledge diversity.
Project-based learning is a pedagogy that allows students to have more control in curriculum development. Why not groom the students to be engaged citizens through immersing them in a democratic learning process. I am hoping to implement a movement to pressure government to make project-based learning the mainstream education system. If Ms Basu has any interest in discussing ways to that could be a benefit to her and support my quest to promote project-based learning, my contact is rpeel@hawaii.edu
