It should help students recognise their uniqueness and overcome difficulties so that they can fulfil their own potential. It should foster critical think- ing and creativity. It should empower students to develop the skills needed in today’s world. But what’s it like in reality? What is modern education like? All over the world we hear dis- turbing news about schools that depart from the real world, curricula that are overloaded with information, schools that destroy the pleasure that comes from learning new things, or youngsters who leave school without any skills, knowledge or competences critical for a successful life. This sounds troubling. On the other hand, we can also see improve- ments, often grassroots alternative approaches evolving, more and more research devot- ed to optimising education – we can see that people simply crave change. Another thing, somewhat new in this picture, is the rapid and constant technological development that creates both great opportunities and challenges for schools and for the whole system. Let us help you understand these new circumstances. Dear Reader, you are holding the second, enhanced edition of "The Book of Trends in Education 2.0" that provides the answer to a question: what is modern education like? This time we went one step further and created the publication in cooperation with educators, teachers and practitioners, people who approach education professionally both from an academic and practical perspective. They follow the trends described on the following pages in their everyday work thus altering the face of education itself. They decided to share their experience, accomplishments and conclusions by creating case studies that are an integral part of each chapter. We hope that in combination with the comprehensive description of the trends, these real-life examples will give you a broader perspective and a chance to understand what is truly important in the learning process. This understanding is crucial for the implementation of any changes as education is a very delicate area with no place for lighthearted experimentation. Problems cannot be solved by a single method. There are no quick fixes. People tend to think that what has been success- ful in one place can be easily reproduced in the exact same way somewhere else, a place that is sometimes completely different. We believe that this is not possible. You cannot turn every country into Finland. But you can understand what has been the core of Finland’s success and then filter it through your conditions and start from there. A perfect solution will be a mixture of various trends and approaches that suit a particular environment, particular needs and people. However, to be able to reach it, you need knowledge. THE BOOK OF TRENDS IN EDUCATION 2.0 7 INTRODUCTION This publication offers you the chance to get to know the trends in today’s education. It enables a comprehensive review and can also serve as an inspiration or a quick reference. It will help you diagnose the problems, see the big picture, understand its complexities and think of remedies. It will show you the examples of successful implementations. We have focused on the most important aspects of each trend, also providing the background picture, the pros and cons, examples and some practice to show you the essence and the value (or dangers) of particular approaches. The educational process needs to be correlated more closely with human nature, with our individual needs and individual level of development. It should help learners in the devel- opment of their metalearning skills, self-awareness, self-decision-making and independ- ence. Being aware of the differences between individuals can often provide the necessary grounds for tolerance that in itself will improve the approach. Today we have more and more information on the functioning of our brain, its stimuli and elaboration processes – data that could bring crucial advantages when implemented in the learning process.
