How does technology influence learning outcomes?
2 December 2024 15:30-16:20 CET
As technology becomes ever more embedded in our classrooms, are students genuinely benefiting from its integration or are we facing unintended setbacks? Many educators, parents, and policymakers wonder whether the frequent use of technology improves learning outcomes. Does digital engagement impact students’ focus, confidence and problem-solving skills or are we creating new gaps in skills and understanding? How do students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards technology influence the relationship?
In this webinar, we will discuss the key findings of the Learning in the Digital World Pilot Study conducted in Germany by the OECD in collaboration with the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education and supported by the Vodafone Foundation. The study, which involved 730 students across 46 lower-secondary schools, measures students' computational thinking skills, self-regulated learning in digital environments, and students’ attitudes towards digital learning tools.
Register and join the discussion on how we can support effective digital learning for all students.
Strategies and Practices to Advance Student Social and Emotional Skills: Global Insights, Current Challenges, and Pathways Forward
4 December 2024 13:00-14:00 CET
What can educators and policymakers do to foster the long-term development of social and emotional skills? The OECD Social and Emotional Skills Survey highlights major challenges to improving skills in classrooms around the world. The findings also emphasise the importance of equipping teachers with up-to-date knowledge about the far-reaching benefits of social and emotional skills and offering them the necessary support to integrate these skills into their teaching practices.
It comes as OECD policy analysis shows skills such as collaboration, empathy and responsibility can be effectively taught in educational settings. Recent advances also show these skills can be measured in a more direct and comparable way through innovative techniques, including the use of behavioural tasks and games.
What guidance and tools do policymakers and practitioners need to drive real progress? In this webinar, a panel of experts will discuss the latest findings, strategies and practices to advance social and emotional development.
