PISA This years focus is mathematics with an additional test in creative thinking. The new PISA 2021 mathematics framework was recently launched. Preparations for this test are underway with participants from 36 OECD members and likely 50+ non-members involved. The PISA 2024 innovative domain, Learning in the Digital World, aims to measure students’ ability to engage in self-regulated learning while using digital tools. The tasks measure students’ capacity to monitor their progress, use feedback and stay engaged while they build models and develop solutions with digital tools. These skillsets are essential in preparing students to learn autonomously in an increasingly complex and digital world. Want to join PISA?

stylingyou.com 23 Flares6501110×23 Flares We talk a lot about Nina Proudman here on Styling You. I love that so many of you are wanting to embrace aspects of this Offspring character’s style. In a nutshell, Nina rocks a boho luxe style. At first glance you might think that you have to have Nina’s shape to suit her look but there are so many elements of this style that you can “borrow” and interpret for yourself. I can’t do her flowing maxi skirt looks because there is just enough gathering in her favourite skirts to make me look even more hip-py (pun intended) than I need to look. Her skinny leg jean looks? When you break down her jeans look it really is possible to drawn inspiration from it and use items you already have in your wardrobe. Which is what I did on Friday. Friday, where I live here on the Sunshine Coast, was a public holiday for the local show. Nina Proudman-inspired outfit: a few flicks of the hair … not quite Nina’s style but on the way to it.

ACSA Australia Why Is the Research on Learning Styles Still Being Dismissed by Some Learning Leaders and Practitioners? I have been battling the notion of "designing instruction for learning styles" in my own quixotic fashion for a couple of decades now. In my attempt to be a good steward of my clients' shareholders' equity I wished to help them avoid faddish instructional design practices that have been disproven by empirical research. I first learned back in the 1980s at NSPI (now ISPI) conferences that while self-reported learning style preferences do exist, that designing instruction to accommodate them has no basis. When I posted yet again on this topic on my blog a couple of months ago and then sent a Tweet out about it—Jane Bozarth, EIC of this magazine, invited me to publish an article. Here is some of what I got back that day and shared with Jane to show her I was "on it." Wisdom from This Crowd From Harold Stolovitch: There is so much press about learning styles. From Richard E.
