活动 | 5.16 “小革小新”如何撬动教育改革？哥大教授与校友分享全球教育微创新实践洞见

哥大全球中心邀您共赴一场教育变革的思想盛宴，哥伦比亚大学教育学院教授Thomas Hatch将挑战传统教育观念，探讨“微创新”如何推动教育事业的改革和发展。

他的最新著作汲取了自己三十年来研究美国和世界各地教育改革尝试的经验，解释了为什么即使是如芬兰、新加坡等拥有全球领先的教育体系的国家也在变革中挣扎。Hatch教授将分享支持更深层次的学习、取得显著成效的精准而微小的变革尝试。

活动还将邀请哥大教育学院的资深校友分享他们实践“微创新”的一线经验和见解——中国的学校正在实施哪些微创新？在教授诸如语文、英语、数学、历史和科学等学科时，有哪些新的、有前景的发展？这些创新对促进学生的心理健康和提高整体幸福感有哪些积极影响？科技和人工智能在支持“微创新”方面起到怎样的作用？

本次活动是哥大全球中心2024春季学期驻地学者项目的重要组成部分。作为该项目的入选学者，Hatch教授将在北京驻留一个月。我们诚邀对教育与学校改革领域感兴趣的校友及同行，如果您希望与教授交流、邀请教授访问贵校或分享微创新案例，请与我们联系。我们期待与您探讨合作与交流的各种可能性。

Columbia Global Center Beijing cordially invites you to an evening of transformative ideas with Dr. Thomas Hatch, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University, and a Spring 2024 resident scholar at the Beijing Global Center. His recent book challenges traditional education and presents a future crafted by "micro-innovations."

Why do even the best education systems struggle with change? Discover how small, targeted changes are making significant strides in student success and well-being, with insights from global contexts, including the U.S., Finland, and Singapore.

The event kicks off with Professor Hatch's keynote on the power of micro-innovations, followed by a panel of Columbia alumni educators sharing firsthand experiences of how China's schools implement these micro-innovations across various subjects, their impact on mental health, and the interplay with technology and AI.

This event is part of the Beijing Center's Scholar-in-Residence Program.

Hatch教授的研究重点关注学校、地区和国家各级学校的教育改革。他的最新著作 The Education We Need for a Future We Can't Predict 聚焦于如何在发达国家和发展中国家的学校内外创造更强有力的学习体验。他在书中展现了什么是最有效的教育改革方法，以及我们该如何重新定义学校从而为学校教育赋能；同时也论证了我们是可以通过共同努力使现有的学校教育变得更加有效、高效和公平，且可以创造出更具有多样性与主动性的学习机会来促进学生的全面发展。
