The document explores the study 'up-scaling creative classrooms in Europe' conducted by the Joint Research Centre, focusing on the conditions necessary for the scalable and sustainable implementation of ICT-enabled innovations in diverse learning environments. It identifies key findings, such as the importance of a systemic approach, teacher support, and strategic partnerships, and provides 60 recommendations for policy actions to enhance the impact of these innovations. The study highlights significant initiatives and case examples from Europe and Asia and emphasizes the challenges of scaling innovative educational practices.
JRC-IPTS SCALE CCR project overview
- 1. Mainstreaming ICT-enabled innovation for learning in Europe Exploring conditions for scalability and sustained impact at system level An overview of the study "Up-scaling Creative Classrooms in Europe" (SCALE CCR) conducted by the Joint Research Centre, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies on behalf of the DG Education and Culture (Dec 2011 - Jun 2013) 1 The challenge 2 The approach Need for a systemic approach and changes at organisational, technological & pedagogical level for the sustainable implementation and progressive scaling up of Creative Classrooms. 'Creative' refers to innovative practices while the term 'classroom' includes all types of learning environments, in formal and informal settings. How to make ICT-enabled innovation for learning sustainable? How to reach a significant scale and/or systemic impact? 3 The research cycle 300+ educational ICT-enabled innovation for learning: profoundly new ways of using and creating information and knowledge made possible by the use of ICT stakeholders involved Hellerup School –a highly innovative public school in Denmark See more in the related JRC Scientific & Policy Report and journal paper 5 Mapping & analysing the 7 cases 4 7 cases of ICT-enabled learning innovation from Europe & Asia* eTwinning – the fastdeveloping teacher network in Europe The multi-dimensional concept of Creative Classrooms: a systemic approach for mainstreaming ICT-enabled innovation for learning. …through the five-dimensional framework of ICT-enabled innovation for learning (see the related JRC Scientific & Policy Report): Diversity across and within the cases Built on system level initiatives that started years ago Multiple pathways to innovate and scale Support from many stakeholders Technological, pedagogical and organisational innovations Significant scale and/or impact at system level Digital Textbook – the project for developing digital textbook contents in S.

Miyake (see the related JRC Scientific & Policy Report) 6 Key findings The framework provides a 'snapshot' of their current stage of development and insights for strategic planning at micro, meso and macro level. Common characteristics of successful ICT-enabled learning innovations Conditions for ICT-enabled innovations to have significant impact on learning Pedagogy first Teacher support and teacher autonomy They have been developed 'organically' over time (ecological model of change) They follow top-down strategies for supporting bottom-up innovations They provide architectures for self-organized learning across sites and levels They facilitate shared ownership for continuous innovation and sustainable change at many levels They enable leadership strategies for strategic alignment They foster multilevel, system-wide connectivity and strategic partnerships Better definitions and assessment for 21st century skills The more innovative practices are, the more difficult they are to scale up! 7 60 recommendations for policy actions Based on the case studies and online consultation with ≈150 stakeholders - organized in 7 clusters. 8 Dissemination JRC Scientific and Policy Reports journal papers conference papers book chapters invited keynote speeches conference presentations policy support activities Find more at http://is.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pages/EAP/SCALECCR.html Contact: Yves.Punie@ec.europa.eu, Panagiotis.Kampylis@ec.europa.eu & Barbara.Brecko@ec.europa.eu The views expressed here are purely those of the authors and should not be regarded as the official position of the European Commission
