SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH · ORGANISATIONAL PEDAGOGY
Plural Skills: a pedagogical perspective on the Little Genius project
A school is a learning organisation: it grows through its people, dialogue and the review of its practices. Plural Skills connect individual learning, relationships and the development of the whole educational community, bringing technical, interpersonal and ethical abilities together.
From research to ICE® educational practice. The following dimensions offer an applied interpretation of the project; they are neither direct quotations nor a classification attributed to the article.
Cognitive and computational dimension
Problem solving and experiential learning connect reasoning with action, from robotics to green budgeting and the circular economy.
Emotional and interpersonal dimension
Empathy, listening and the inclusion of diversity develop communication, teamwork and the ability to address conflict.
