IDEAL FUTURE Work Package 3 Pedagogical Model
20 it in another way? I think that type is far more supportive than a one off 2 hours taught at them and hope something sticks and they go away with something. (IE P23) So, when people personally call out to you or to your school and work with you and your fellow teachers, that's really where I would learn the most. (IE P19) The concept of problem-based learning was alluded to in the descriptions of the ideal professional learning experience. Although not referenced directly, people spoke about working with others to solve problems or come up with solutions, it was mentioned this should be over a period and sustained. This indicates the desire for collaborative, contextualised professional learning. I would like to learn how a large institution creates information circulation, how to cooperate in a large team, which could be done with the help of artificial intelligence, how to get more time with the help of digital tools (LV, leader, 18 years). I think the problem solving with the viewing and then looking at it through the lines is probably a really good way because people come up with really good ideas. But they have to be in safe spaces because I know I've seen that with tutorial groups. Unless you feel safe and supported, people won't give their honest opinions. (IE P15) So, then you can just start to talk about the solutions instead of the problem discussing the problems. You can just focus on the solutions so that that mindset change is not easy and it's it cannot be achieved through one week or two-week trainings. (IE P28) Many of the narratives of the ideal learning experiences involved some element of collaboration, some also referred to independent learning or self-study resources. Often this was in complement to other types of training. In the interviews it was indicated that such independent study and self-study resources may be most appropriate for technical or theoretical knowledge. It is important to learn what is immediately useful to people - the opportunity to immediately try it and apply it in your work. The second important aspect is to teach calmly and slowly, as well as start with the simple and gradually go to the complex (LV, in-service teacher, 7 years) I suppose it's kind of that mixed modal approach is, as you were saying, is the kind of best way to get anything across. So that's why when you stuff online like, it can be re-watched, you know, or you can put up an article because I know people that way rather read an article than they will about watch a video, so you know, so like you can have your mixed up online which you know really does help as well as that as well. (IE P18) so, they can then learn all of the theory and science in their own time, and they can come back, and you can get them to practise what they learned (IE P18) In the coding of the transcripts, it was noted that there were not only specific types of professional learning but characteristics that an ideal model of professional learning should consist of. The next section will explore these in detail. 4.3.2 Characteristics of learning In the interviews participants described several characteristics for their preferred professional learning experience, these characteristics were dialogical/collaborative, practical, inclusive, temporal and mindset related (see table 3).
