We are delighted to invite you to the ‘League of Challenges - towards developing a competency framework’ webinar in collaboration with CEIBAL, the Digital Technology Center of Uruguay. During this webinar, our speaker Dr. Claudia Brovetto, Manager of CEIBAL and PhD. Carlos Libisch, Head of New Measurements, CEIBAL is going to introduce: “The League of Challenges”. Join us online for the penultimate episode of the SCRAPPIES webinar series on 5th November.
“The League of Challenges” initiative has the objective of prioritizing skills within the learning process in classrooms, from a child-friendly perspective.
The League aims to:
-
Clarify: The goal is for students to understand the skill in a general way that is appropriate for their age.
-
Prioritize: The goal is to elevate the importance of the skill within the learning process.
-
Promote development: The goal is for students to learn by doing, putting the desired skill into practice.
-
Evaluate: The goal is to provide students and educators with a tool to carry out different types of assessments that prioritize and elevate the status of the skill.
The League of Challenges consists of physical materials (cards) designed for group work in the classroom. These cards feature characters that symbolically represent global skills, which can be linked to the new competency framework developed by Uruguayan education in 2023.
