Résumé: We live in a rapidly changing technological world, with a range of demographic and environmental challenges (OECD 2018). Emerging technologies challenge traditional learning, teaching and assessment processes. Many countries are reforming (parts of) their curricula in an effort to reflect these challenges. Pre EDUsummIT, discussions of Thematic Working Group 12 (TWG12) focused on what makes a quality curriculum in a technological era. These discussions considered what the purposes of education systems should be in a rapidly changing world, and thus what educational visions, policies and practices might be most appropriate (Butler et al. 2018). In addition, the group members considered: a. What knowledge, skills, attitudes and values will today's students need to thrive and shape their world? (e.g. see Erstad & Voogt 2018) b. How can instructional systems develop these knowledge, skills, attitudes and values effectively? (e.g. OECD, 2018). This work highlighted existing tensions within many national education systems including: • using technology to enhance existing curriculum subjects; • the need to educate next generations of workers to adapt to a rapidly changing world; • the contrast between the rhetoric of policy documents and actual classroom practice in many countries. Even where reform has taken place at curriculum level, it has not always translated into concerted action at the classroom level.
