From learning environments to motivation environments.

The next paragraph is the preliminary result from my research about learning environments in seven countries.

I think that we will start to hear about a new paradigm shift in school education; in the 80s and 90s the whole idea was «learning to learn», «lifelong learning» and «competences»; in the 2000’s and 2010’s the issue was/is «learning environments and information and communication technologies»; well, the focus in the coming years will be «motivation environments». We (parents, schools and authorities) will have to concentrate on «how to motivate children/students», in a digital world, when they think they don’t need the school (they think they have everything when they own a smartphone). Children are not longer challenged by the schools. It is not about teachers or poverty (those are givens) it is about «creating motivation environments».

More about this the following weeks!
