The education system is alarming. The Economist Joel Mokyr described the modern education system as designed to teach future factory workers to be “punctual, docile, and sober[15].” The structure of our educational system has largely stayed the same over the last 200 years. Do we want our students leave the classroom not as followers but as changemakers? Do we train students to blindly fit today’s society or to construct a better one? Let's ponder about it. This is an good article to reflect about Education, Capitalism, and Superspecies. https://lnkd.in/gf67vyGE

The International Organization for Academic & Scientific Development (IOASD) has designated me as a life member in their esteemed organization. I believe this is another feather in my cap after contributing professionally towards industry & academia (on a much larger scale) for over 18 years. This long journey has been a roller-coaster ride with a lot of learning, realization & above all, a continuous quest to adapt, innovate & improve with every passing day, bit by bit. International Organization for Academic and Scientific Development (IOASD) is a non-profit educational and scientific organization promoted by IOASD Education Private Limited. The main objective of this organization is to support, motivate, collaborate and recognize all the possible measures for development in education and research. IOASD will host conferences, seminars, workshops; will provide training for academic and scientific programmes, publishes journals and newsletters and will sponsors other activities like award programmes, financial assistance and scholarships, travel grants for education and research activities. #IOASD #technicaleducation #lifemembership #engineering #training #placement #science #technology #education #industry #campus #corporate #research #skillset #industry #publications #college #academic #quality #standards #innovation #council #innovation #improvement #empowerment #adaptability

"efforts to decolonise and diversify the curriculum aim to address the legacy of European colonialism in our teaching and learning. We have used different approaches to begin to decolonise and diversify biomedical sciences curricula, summarised in our accompanying animated video. Here are our key suggestions to help others take their first steps down this path."

I wasn’t allowed to learn languages at school, I had to do extra maths instead. I remember a few classes at primary school, and actually being told I had a natural ability but then at secondary school they discovered my problems with maths. At that time, it seems there was no awareness of dyscalculia of whatever my problem is, so they just kept putting me in the same classes over and over again hoping that the repetition would help. It didn’t. What it did do however was give me the repetitive message that I was a total failure when it came to maths, and a complete insecurity complex over all things with numbers. Why am I sharing this with you? Because I understand how school time experiences can effect our confidence today as adults. Even when we’re able to rationalise the events in our brains, the emotional connection to that time often sticks. That emotional connection can be hard to shift, and make it even more hard to ask for help. I know, because it took me almost 40 years before I was brave enough to get coaching to help overcome my insecurities with numbers, and before those first coaching sessions I was terrified of having to reveal and dealing with my emotions surrounding numbers. That’s why I now use Core Transformation with clients who experience strong emotions around past events, even if they might seem like inconsequential events to an outsider. Core Transformation allows us to change how we feel in the present and the future without having to relive the past. So if you’re struggling to overcome past experiences and it’s effecting your ability to speak confidently with your peers, DM me to find out how I can help you move forward. #gesundheitswesen #oncology #biotechnologie #sciencenews #businessenglish #languagebarriers #englishatwork #biotech #pharma #scientist #communicationskills #personaldevelopment #confidence #impostersyndrome

When Randomised Control Trials are set as the 'gold standard' to address the challenges in education, they miss the nuanced, contextual variables that teachers deal with daily. Teaching is a fast-paced, intellectual, unpredictable profession in which teachers must judge the impact of changing variables from minute to minute. These variables must shape the application of research into practice. #educationresearch #pracademics
