IDEAL FUTURE Work Package 3 Pedagogical Model

4 1 Introduction This work package is aligned to the empathise stage of the IDEAL Future project methodology (see figure 1 below). The project partners worked with pre-service and in-service educators and educational leaders to explore how to leverage from professional learning to support them to transform their practice at individual, school, and inter-organisational levels. This report details on the findings and recommends a multi-level pedagogical model that supports transformative dialogue and leads to a co-operative and integrated approach to developing solutions to the challenges facing education in the area of digital pedagogical leadership. Figure 1: IDEAL Future Project Methodology The work package rigorously analysed current research regarding digital transformation and professional learning using a systematic approach, the report on the findings of the integrated literature review is available separately but the output will be used to inform the pedagogical model described in this document and is discussed in section 6: Discussion. This report details the basis of the pedagogical framework that will underpin the development of the learning content, learning activities and digital hub design. Key outputs of the work package include: 1. An integrated literature review on the use of digital technology to support transformative dialogical approaches to Professional Development. This is available as a separate report (see Professional learning approaches that support digital transformation, enable change or impact practice: An integrated literature review ). 2. Development of a pedagogical model and position paper. This report discusses the associated research and literature that informed the pedagogical model and outlines a pedagogical model for IDEAL future. This will be leveraged in the design of the learning material, activities, and digital hub to support the delivery of professional learning in the area of digital leadership in education. 1.1 Objectives and Associated Research Questions This work package aims to meet project objective three outlined in the proposal: Objective 3 : Develop and evaluate a high quality, multi-level, pedagogical model that supports transformative dialogue and leads to a co-operative and integrated approach to addressing issues facing education in the area of digital pedagogical leadership (WP3, WP6 and WP9 ). As a result, the below objectives have been outlined as well as the associated research questions (see table 1).
