What Works Best in Education: The Politics of Collaborative Expertise

Sharing independent insights on the big, unanswered questions in education 1 year input 1 year progress ABOUT OPEN IDEAS AT PEARSON Pearson’s goal is to help people make progress in their lives through learning. This means we’re always learning too. This series of publications, Open Ideas, is one of the ways in which we do this. We work with some of the best minds in education- from teachers and technologists, to researchers and big thinkers- to bring their independent ideas and insights to a wider audience. How do we learn, and what keeps us motivated to do so? What is the body of knowledge and skills that learners need as we move into the second half of the twenty-first century? How can smart digital technologies be best deployed to realise the goal of a more personalised education? How can we build education systems that provide high quality learning opportunities to all? These questions are too important for the best ideas to stay only in the lecture theatre, on the bookshelf or alone in one classroom. Instead they need to be found and supported, shared and debated, adopted and refined. Our hope is that Open Ideas helps with this task, and that you will join the conversation
