We have to take more perspectives into account to meet the actual needs of society

Description

In the past couple of years, many educators have experimented with moving away from the traditional classroom setting. Particularly in higher education there is a tendency to rely on a passive, teacher-centered approach. Co-creating in education aims for the exact opposite: it champions a process built on constructivist learning theory, where students are in the driver’s seat and collaborate with teachers or other stakeholders in designing their learning process. 

At TU Delft, we have a variety of educators who employ co-creation in shaping their own innovative education. In fact, some teachers may be engaging in co-creation without even being aware of it. This series of interviews will showcase all the various forms both already in existence, and those yet to be uncovered in our very own TUD educational climate!
