SUMMARY

In the last few weeks I have been dealing with a lot of different things on the topic of learning and education. I have to say that I have learned a lot of new things and also about things that I didn't feel were real.

First of all, I found out that the purpose of our education is to prepare us for our future life. Since then, I no longer question the meaning of what I have learned so often, but try to somehow process it for myself and take it with me. Because you never know. Maybe things like that can help you some day.

 

Next, I researched different school systems and their advantages and disadvantages.  I found out that probably the most boring and exhausting school system is the most common one. Compulsory schooling. It is actually exactly the same school system that exists in Austria.  After that, however, I got involved with very exciting, even very unusual types of schools. Homeschooling, unschooling and worldschooling. I found homeschooling and unschooling very interesting, but worldschooling excited me, so to speak.  The idea alone that you learn the really important things in life when you learn to deal with people fascinated me.

After that I studied the achievement gap in the different countries. Unfortunately, I learned that this gap is still very large in many countries of the world and is characterised by many prejudices. Thank God there are many organisations that are trying everything to close this gap.

Finally, I dealt with the forms of learning of the future. I found out that in the future, much more will take place via the internet, digital platforms and video conferencing. I also found out that in the future, a lot of learning will take place via artificial intelligence, because it saves you a lot of effort and time.

I must say that I learned a lot of helpful things through these tasks. Now, when things don't go well, I try to orientate myself on things that I have learned through this project. For example, I try to think more often about the concept of world and unschooling. I try to organise things in such a way that I inform myself about the things that interest me the most but don't neglect the things that are perhaps not so interesting for me. Furthermore, I always try to inform myself a little before I form an opinion about a person.

Personally, I think these open works are very good for us and I hope we do them more often in the future.
