The Little Education System That Could
A Hopeful Story About Education Transformation.
This video accompanies my Masters Foresight Research Project (Fall 2023) titled: “The future potential role of pedagogical technology within the Australian secondary school learning environment” . This is a fable from the future, a scrollytale from the year 2055 - long after my project has been and gone.
A strategic tension is always present between the stability of continuity, and the potential for change. The Little Education System That Could . . is a hopeful story of transformation. It seeks to play with the idea of experiencing different ways of knowing, of moving beyond our own worldviews.
In this project I've explored and imagined potential futures for technology's role in the secondary education system. I've explored the implications these potential futures might surface for teachers, students, policymakers and edtech companies. When we talk about “systems” or “systems design” or “systems change”, we often talk about systems in the abstract. But what if . . systems had feelings too? What if by understanding and imagining what it might be like to be the system . . we might reshape our posture, even just a little?
I’ve written this image of the future, of the education system, as a fable . . . enabling us to empathise with the system, in an attempt to make this abstract idea . . humanly accessible.
The story of the Little Education System that could, links both a personal and a systems story within an overarching meta-narrative. It seeks to bridge the gap between the “IT” that is the “system”, and the deeply human, complex and emotional experience of change. And in the story of this abstract hero adventure, the hope is that we might just see a little of ourselves here too.
