Curious to hear people’s ideas on how education would look in such a world.
For me, I’d like to see it moved away from testing and results based learning.
A stronger focus on physical engagement with things, e.g. learning biology by going out and cataloging wildlife and learning what’s in a local ecosystem before coming together and researching findings and looking for new questions to ask.
Less sitting around at desks being fed information and a greater focus on individual agency in exploring topics of interest.
Not to say there isn’t a time and a place for “high level” stuff where you need to deep dive into books and listen to lectures, but there needs to be a greater balance in methodology.
In my country (Australia) we’re already seeing primary schooling move towards this methodology and getting a bit more in line with what’s going on in the pre-school years.
It generally seems to be the professional consensus that “play-based” education offers better results compared to the traditional classroom ROTE structure in creating mentally healthy and capable adults who can think freely and participate in democratic societies.
