The Future of Education

Pedagogical Experience Design, does not only intend to implement pedagogical practices in the context of higher education, but rather to have a more comprehensive role that crosses several fundamental aspects to the construction of a strong learning path. Designing an integrated strategy that structures different learning layers for each year, with different interaction models that combine social and active skills, like: a) construction of a mindset with motivation, empathy, curiosity, critical thinking; b) introduction of modular topics in the beginning of each year for structuring a mentality shift; c) an open classrooms to internal and external publics supported by ecosystem (FABRICA) that bring together partners for innovation, social responsibility organizations, trendsetters, professionals; d) more interaction in immersive external environments; e) more integrated content / knowledge defined by projects or integrated outcomes; f) guiding professors with different methodologies and active learning tools, oriented to their scientific topics, but also for an interdisciplinary mediation between cross courses, around real problems of the present and the future, with distinctive and common learning outcome. Our main goal is to provide and implement a set of information’s that are not a “recipe”, but a structure that can provide a distinctive learning outcome for students, fulfilling the objectives and specificities of the scientific subject, but taking advantage of the diversity of courses that the university hosts. This strategy will aim to transform entirely the continuing cycles of higher education, because the learning experience should leverage perpetual attitude of learning in lifetime. Integrated vision between student empathy, context learning, methodologies, learning models, technics, digital tools, assessment, portfolio and evaluation metrics.
