Foreword
Foreword
Digital technologies have a profound impact on economies and societies and are changing the way
we work, communicate, engage in social activities and enjoy ourselves. They also drive innovation in many different spheres of life. The innovative capacity of technology is very much conditioned by the level of digital skills of the population. No wonder there is a very strong correlation between education and skills and the uptake and use of digital technologies in various spheres of life. The role of education and skills in promoting innovation is critical.
Yet, despite the huge potential of digitalisation for fostering and enhancing learning, the impact of digital technologies on education itself has been shallow. Massive investments in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in schools have not yet resulted in the hoped for transformation of educational practices, probably because the overriding focus on hardware and connectivity has kept back equally powerful strategies for increasing teachers' ICT skills, improving teachers' professional development, reforming pedagogies and producing appropriate software and courseware.
Discussions about the potential of digital technologies in education today increasingly place the issue as part of a more comprehensive approach to innovation in education. Education systems and institutions are not averse to change in themselves, but there seem to be very powerful barriers in place that prevent digital technologies from reaching their potential in educational institutions and teaching and learning practices.
Innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum, but requires openness and interactions between systems and their environments. This is also very much the case for education. Schools cannot be left alone to make the difficult process of transformation, but need support not only through policies, but also from other actors and stakeholders. In recent years the emergent education industry has taken on a very important role. This role is not simply defined by commercial corporate interests selling products and services to schools, but is increasingly framed into a much wider concern for genuine innovation.
In order to foster a dialogue aiming to identify the best policies and practices to foster innovation in education, the Global Education Industry Summits brings together governments and leaders from the global education industry. The success of these summits very much depends on the evidence that can feed into the dialogue. That is why the OECD, as a global leader in internationally comparative data and analysis, has produced this synthesis of the available evidence, generated through its surveys and analytical work. It serves as a background document for the second Global Education Industry Summit in Jerusalem on 26-27 September 2016.
The report was prepared by Dirk Van Damme, head of the OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI), compiling analyses from recent OECD publications on innovation, innovation in education and technology-based innovation. In particular, the report offers a synthesis of the outcomes of different recent CERI projects, notably CERI's "Innovation Strategy for Education and Training", "Innovative Learning Environments", and "Open Education Resources". It also draws on recent publications of other programmes of the Directorate for Education and Skills (notably the OECD Programme on International Student Assessment (PISA), the OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), the Teaching and Learning International
