Description:

General skills, such as collaborative problem solving, are a major emphasis of Estonian and European educational reforms. However, these skills are quite difficult to develop and, most especially, to (formatively) assess. In this session, we will showcase current research on two different approaches that teachers can use in their classrooms to gather evidence about the ongoing development of such general skills. The participants will also have hands-on experience in the collaborative use of these a these approaches in their own skin, and gather data from hands-on, realistic learning activities. The session will be facilitated both in English and Estonian.
