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.

A lost schoolyear because of Covid-19?

  Covid-19 was a shock for all of us. The schools in Austria were suddenly closed and all children were sent home. The turbulent everyday life of pupils was suddenly no longer turbulent but instead monotonous and boring. Many months later, half of the class returned to school for two days at a time. And now, on Monday 17 th of May 2021, the long-awaited face-to-face teaching in the schools has started again. And the legitimate question arises: did Covid-19 cost us a year of education? What would you say? I would say no. Of course, it was a new, unfamiliar and perhaps not easy kind of learning during Covid-19. But one thing is for certain: Students learned a lot that they would never have been taught at school. Firstly, pupils became more independent. They learned how to organize themselves and structure their day. They also gained discipline as they were forced to hand in challenging tasks on time. Moreover, they also had to follow a healthy routine in order not to harm their body ...

This seems strange!

Today I took a closer look at the different schooling types around the world, from a pioneer project to now a wide range of these schools. So let´s get right into it.   There are many reasons the summer hill school is as successful as it is. The summer hill school is a unique school in Great Brittan and only consists of approximately 75 students from the age 5 to 18. The point that is making summer hill so interesting is the social connection between pupils of different ages and their teachers. What to me is also one-of-a-kind is the fact that there is no compulsion for learning, the will to learn needs to come from the pupil.   The Waldorf school is a renowned school though its history is quite controversial. In 1919 Emil Molt owned a cigarette factory and opened a school for the children of his workers. Rudolph Steiner was actually the guy who was in charge of building the school and its system. The school system is based on a lot of philosophy and until today they focus on ...
