Towards Open Learning Environment
To create a meaningful combination of
• programmes (laboratory, planetarium, etc.)
• exhibitions
• internet - www
• classroom
is clearly one of the main challenges of informal learning
Pre-visit stage: ict-based teaching at school
Visit stage:learning at the science centre exhibition
Visit stage:learning in the Planetarium
Pedagogical background: eLearning based on the evidence collected from the teahers
Questionnaire
• for 225 teacher students in Dec 2008
• for 200 in-service teachers in Jan 2008
Ict-solutions and open learning environments
Role of ICT
• ICT as connection between learning environments
• ICT as instruction tool
• ICT as communication forum
• ICT as media
Physical openness
• points out the accessible of facilities
to be used for flexible teaching and learning situations
Innovative Learning Approaches
• Integration of other learning environments than the school
• Differentiated learning depending on different ways of perception
• From teacher-controlled learning to pupil orientated learning
• Context-related knowledge
Changes in Learning Environments
• Technological innovation
• New physical space
• Changes in roles and responsibilities of pupils
• Changes in roles and responsibilities of teachers
Combination of Portal, Classroom, and Hands-on Exhibit / Planetarium
• Physical openness
• Didactic openness
• Psychological openness
• Virtual openness
Psychological openness
• consists of the feeling of independence of space and time
• this feeling, that the learner can influence his or her own learning creates motivation for learning.
Virtual openness
• is created by using information and communication technology in teaching and learning process
