“The use of ICT changes the role of the teacher, who will be more of a facilitator guiding the students' learning processes than a knowledge provider. The time allocated for the teacher and the pupil to meet in is too valuable to be spent solely on information distribution. The teacher is required to command new skills and to adapt a new approach, which in turn generates pressure on the basic and continuing education of teachers.”

Finnish National Board of Education review, 2011 (translated)

 

 

ICT IN LEARNING

law & assessment 

"A student´s assessment is to guide and encourage learning and develop the student's capacity for self-evaluation."
