Centre for Innovation in Education
The conflict between a fast-changing society and a largely traditional school system has become a serious obstacle for many countries. Under various terms – new educational paradigm, constructivist approach, inclusive learning, interesting school – lies an inspiring motif to find new ways and ideas to bring the schools to the 21st century.
The Estonian Lifelong Learning Strategy offers a change in the approach to learning – it hopes to implement an "... approach to learning that supports each learner’s individual and social development, the acquisition of learning skills, creativity and entrepreneurship at all levels and in all types of education". This new approach is a challenge to the whole Estonian education system and the Centre for Innovation in Education (CIE) helps to overcome that challenge.
The priorities of the Centre for Innovation
- Create and support networks for cooperation between scientists, teachers and trainee teachers
- Create, manage and develop contemporary open-learning environments and interactive classrooms.
