Principles of digitisation of education

  • When we talk about the digitalization of education, people on the street understand two different things: on the one hand, a process similar to the digitalization of companies, in which the processes of relationship between people and information are digitized to search for efficiency in the development of systems. On the other hand, we understand that the digital skills of students will be developed.

At first reading it seems that the things that have been said are beneficial, but that is not the case. The systems and infrastructures for the digitization of education are not developed by the Basque Government, which makes the privacy and future of our students more vulnerable to the effects of the business models of large corporations. On the other hand, we need to think better for what, when and how digital competition. Students will learn more and more easily to be users, as interfaces become more intuitive. But it is still not so clear whether the office, the learning systems analitycs and their use will be useful to achieve good development, writing ability, comprehension ability, abstraction, memory, critical thinking…

On December 10, 2021, the Librezale Group on Education dedicated to these topics was invited to the Basque Parliament. Professor Iñigo Gebara explained the principles that Basque education law should have in relation to digitalization: A digitalisation that guarantees privacy and data protection; a digitalisation that promotes broad and complete digital competence; a digitalisation centered on the Basque language; ecologically sustainable; and that guarantees the well-being and quality of life of students.

Given the ability of digitization to transform societies, the education law should talk about digitization. Consideration of the aforementioned principles would lay the foundations for a responsible, independent and sustainable Basque digitalization, in the words of the Free Education group.

The Basque host country?

To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

The Basque Country Welcome Village

Strikes of glutamate

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.

The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]

Ez gara aire

Nafarroa Arenan Mitoaroa ikusten izandako lagun batek “telurikotzat” jo zuen entzun-ikusi-sentitutakoa. Niri ere hala iruditu zitzaidan telebista medio etxetik hauteman nuena.

Benito, alchemist of our emotions

Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]

Making a mistake

It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]

Semaforoa vs. herritarrak

Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.

Hala ere, lehentasunak ez dira kontu neutroak, eta historiak eta interes kontrajarriek aldatu izan... [+]

A bunch of knot-nails.

There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.

With the new year we are... [+]

Goodbye, mom

These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.

Already a month before the arrival of winter, the last days of the longest night,... [+]

Vulnerable children: institutional violence in our context

Today, the voices of women and children remain within a culture that delegitimizes their voices, silencing their experiences, within a system aimed at minimizing or ignoring their basic rights and needs. A media example of this problem is the case of Juana Rivas, but her story... [+]
