RSD5 Curriculum Making for Trito Learning
1 like90 views
The document discusses the development of a master's program in Creative Sustainability at Aalto University, emphasizing the integration of systems thinking into its curriculum since its inception in 2010. It introduces the concepts of trito learning and various learning methods, including proto-learning, deutero-learning, and trito-learning, aimed at adapting to changing contexts. Additionally, it explores the evolution of curriculum-making as an immersive process, highlighting the importance of collective and contextual learning in education.
