Collaborative Problem Solving with Meaningful Action with Lindy Elkins-Tanton

from Learning Futures Hosted by Dr. Linda Elkins-Tanton, Dr. Ronald Beghetto

Ronald Beghetto talks with Lindy Elkins-Tanton about how her different work and life experiences made her realize the importance of knowing how to work in teams, and to create ones that foster equality instead of competition. She mentions how bringing the idea of teams into the classroom, where every voice and perspective is listened to, removes competition. This not only allows students to engage with uncertainty, but ultimately develops stronger outcomes, products, and solutions. Elkins-Tanton imagines a future where learning is more active (rather than what she calls “learned helplessness”) and based around the team’s plurality of perspectives, and views this learning process as a way to help solve challenges within our communities.
