Paper Abstract:
|
There has long been a missing link between the National Information Strategies for Education and its implementation
into teaching practices in schools. In this paper we present the new collaborative cognitive tools (CCT) for shared
representations. The cognitive tools make a difference by providing a platform for collaborative construction of the
school's information strategy with a shared vision and practice-oriented goals supporting its implementation.
Collaborative cognitive tools work as mediators in a transformation process from the traditional school culture, where
teachers work alone, to the new culture of teachers' collaboration and teamwork. In addition, they provide an instrument
for pedagogical leadership for school principals. |
