BBC NEWS | UK | Education | Danish pupils use web in exams - 0 views

  • Students are no longer required to regurgitate facts and figures. Instead the emphasis is on their ability to sift through and analyse information.
  • In Denmark, the government has taken the bold step of allowing pupils full access to the internet during their final school year exam
  • They can access any site they like, even Facebook, but they cannot message each other or email anyone outside the classroom.

  • The Danish government says if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.
  • Sanne Yde Schmidt, who heads the project at Greve, says: "If we're going to be a modern school and teach them things that are relevant for them in modern life, we have to teach them how to use the internet."

    Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.

  • This brings us to a few questions. How do we interpret our pedagogy in a dynamic educational setting that is truly anywhere, any time, any place and any mode? How do we present a powerful pedagogy that imparts knowledge and skills in such a dynamic environment and still teach with timetables, outcomes-based assessment and classes with a discrete teacher within a discrete classroom. Indeed, how do we visualise the classroom as an organic learning centre yet maintain traditional pedagogy that promotes 'pre-designed syllabi centered (sic) on a fixed course material to be covered' (Lopez 2005).
