3. FUTURE CHALLENGES IN OUR SOCIETY
• Blogalisation (new communities based
on new technology)
• New democracy created by citizens
(blogs, internet petitions etc.)
• Open-source thinking
• On-line web community and learning
• Virtual reality
Alvesalo 2008, Hietanen 2010, Häkkinen ym. 2011
4. NEW PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING
•Learning can as well be quiet and random
as conscious and intentional
•Learning might be harmful
•Learning refers to both process and result
•Learning is interactive
•Learning is different at different times
Alexander, P:A; Schallert, D.L. & Reynolds, R.E. 2009.
What is Learning Anyway? A Topographical Perspective Condidered Educational Psychologist
44(3): 176-192
5. ENGAGED LEARNING
– REAL LIFE ORIENTATION
• Studets pariticipate actively
• The teacher serves as a ”coach”
• Studets vigorously research and create
projects
• Studets use new technology to make
discoveries based on their choises
6. TRIALOGICAL LEARNING
• Learning is creating knowledge (shared
agency)
• Teaching is constructing knowledge
together (guidance)
• Working based more on networks
(shared space and shared target)
• ”Storing” knowledge in physical objects,
devices and networks
(iCloud,Dropbox,Gmail)
Hakkarainen ym. 2004
8. OPEN AND ASSIMILATIVE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
OPEN LEARNING ENVIRONMENT = Teaching
and learning process opens towards more
interactive environments and outside school.
ASSIMILATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT= New
elements and processes of teaching are
integrated into learning environment and are
applied when needed
Piispanen 2008; Joutsenvirta & Kukkonen, 2009
20. PHYSICAL LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT TODAY
Classroom shape is from the 19th century
Supports a style of teaching
where teacher is a leader
Supports individualism
Schoolbook-oriented
see. Dudek, 2000, Sanoff, 2009, Vitikka 2009
21. VISION IN FINLAND IN 2020
”Finnish schools are in the frontline in international
comparison of the usage of communication and
information technology. Professional teachers and other
staff and motivated pupils and students use up-to-date
and echologigal technology of high quality in different
environments as part of their studies. Flexible services
that promote life-long learning have been created to
support a student and the community. Interacion and
other cooperation with education, society and working
life is rich and open. Education services, supporting
administration and jurisdiction have been organised
effectively and in a financially stable way”

22. QUALITY CRITERIA OF BASIC EDUCATION
AND PPHYSICAL LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT
Fascilities, furniture and equipment are appropriate and
support flexible usage.
Communication and information technology are well
planned and meet the needs of development.
Teachers and pupils have affected the organisation of
space.
Spaces in school adapt easily to different ways of
teaching and other uses.
Opetusministeriön julkaisuja 2010:6
34. • New space (two dimensional)
• New sound attenuation
• New lighting (automation)
• New furniture thinking (adaptability)
• New technology (touch screens)
38. LIGHTING ADJUSTMENT
• Lutron Energy Saving Node
– Programming between 1-10V
– Daylight-programming
– Two sensors
– Manual adjustment
• In the roof there are two wireless sensors for movement
and one for daylight
• The program in use is absence-guided (lights will be
turned on manually, but shut off automatically)
• Programming with iPad
43. REFLECTIONS
” The stability of the classroom and
the invariability of the physical
learning enviornment prevent the
comprehensive renewal of the
school’s operational culture”
Kuuskorpi 2012
