All primary school children in England are required to write computer programs and learn about computational thinking. There are moves in other countries to this effect such as the U.S. K-12 Computer Science Framework (CSF) for development.

DeepMind is the world leader in artificial intelligence research and its application for positive impact. We're on a scientific mission to push the boundaries of AI, developing programs that can learn to solve any complex problem without needing to be taught how.

New advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning promise to make some jobs obsolete through automation and change our world forever, experts say.

Given the vast development of technological applications, education cannot ignore the use of technology in preparing students for participation in society. Technology use in education has become both a goal and a tool, implying that teachers need to be able to use technology as an effective tool in their teaching and students need to learn how to use technology appropriately in their day-to-day lives.

In this article, we identify and examine opportunities for formative assessment provided by information technologies (IT) and the challenges which these opportunities present. We address some of these challenges by examining key aspects of assessment processes that can be facilitated by IT: datafication of learning; feedback and scaffolding; peer assessment and peer feedback.

A qualitative study across Europe. It only takes witnessing a few interactions within modern western families to realize how much the experience of childhood has changed.

"The teaching professions face rapidly changing demands, which require a new, broader and more sophisticated set of competences than before. The ubiquity of digital devices and applications, in particular, requires educators to develop their digital competence. The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) is a scientifically sound framework describing what it means for educators to be digitally competent. It provides a general reference frame to support the development of educator-specific digital competences in Europe. DigCompEdu is directed towards educators at all levels of education, from early childhood to higher and adult education, including general and vocational education and training, special needs education, and non-formal learning contexts."

As the COVID-19 pandemic worsened in countries across the globe, most governments took the precaution of closing their schools in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus. Schools were forced to replace this time in class with online learning and home schooling, in most cases facilitated by teachers and parents. After weeks of school closures, some countries are now starting the complicated process of gradually reopening their schools. To support these efforts, this COVID-19 country note aims to bring together evidence from various OECD school education surveys conducted prior to the crisis and use it to examine how prepared teachers, students and schools were in Netherlands to face the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a view to informing and guiding future policy responses to the crisis.

Het concept schoolexamenprogramma Technologie en Toepassing (T&T) is ontwikkeld voor de theoretische en gemengde leerweg van het vmbo. Het concept examenprogramma wordt geëvalueerd in pilots met een aantal scholen. Alleen de pilotscholen mogen T&T als schoolexamenvak aanbieden; zij hebben hiervoor ontheffing gekregen van het ministerie van OCW. Andere vmbo-scholen kunnen het concept schoolexamenvak in de pilotfase alleen als extra-curriculair vak aanbieden. Afhankelijk van het wetgevingstraject zal het examenprogramma op termijn formeel toegankelijk worden voor alle scholen met een gemengde en/of theoretische leerweg.

Leerdoelen en succescriteria vormen een belangrijk bestanddeel van formatief evalueren. Aan de hand van succescriteria kun je bepalen hoever een leerling gevorderd is iets te leren. En ook wat hij moet of kan doen om een volgende leerstap te zetten. De vraag is hoe je voor het vak wiskunde succescriteria kunt bedenken.
