A society devoid of moral and ethical values cannot continue as an effective society as society is built on reciprocal cooperation and mutual understanding of people. A roundtable discussion organised by The Daily Star and CAMPE in December 2017, was a timely initiative to draw the attention of the people about the importance of ethics and values as the driving force for an enlightened society.

Thanks to advances in AI and machine learning, a slow but steady transformation is coming to education—under the hood. Already, AI algorithms are helping enhance education by collecting, analyzing, and correlating every interaction that takes place in physical and virtual classrooms, and helping teachers to address the specific pain points of each student. This might be the beginning of a revolution in one of the oldest and most valuable social skills that mankind has developed, and an imperative in a world where humans live and work alongside smart machines.

To foster growth mindsets in students, teachers can coach students to try different learning strategies that make the brain work smarter. Educator praise can be used to acknowledge specific strategies students have tried and can push students to reflect on themselves as learners. This process is more complex than it looks and ultimately should help lead students to become more independent thinkers. Via Nik Peachey

“Women bring a different set of skills to the business and industry environment,” said Carolyn Casavan, an entrepreneur engineer. “The problem is there is no metric to measure and value the qualities that they bring.”
The documentary follows five young women over the course of two years as they travel from San Francisco to Mississippi and France to Vietnam to pitch to venture capital entrepreneurs, build teams, bring products to market, fail and start over. The film also features perspectives from the first female engineer at Facebook, Ruchi Sanghvi; White House Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith; GoldieBlox CEO Debbie Sterling; and investor Joanne Wilson. “Women are very good at systems thinking — the architecture of systems,” said Casavan. “They collaborate well, which leads to better product design.”

Preparing for work is not the only purpose of education, but it is nonetheless a topic policymakers, educators, academics, companies, and individuals all have a stake in. Given the dramatic shifts currently taking place as a result of the 4th industrial revolution, we would argue it is one of the biggest questions and opportunities of our time. Our hope is that this paper will serve as a basis for dialogue and debate on how systems and thinking must shift to ensure individuals are best prepared for the new world of work and the roles various partners have in making this shift possible.

The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources achieved a goal 25 years in the making with a grant from the National Science Foundation. Heng-Moss said the class makes students think through a problem using a combination of science, ethics, politics and values to make a decision on how to move forward. Students will learn how to differentiate between scientific thinking and thinking based on other information to make decisions both individually and with a group.

When we work in schools, we work to explain how complex systems work, and we engage in dialogue with people in the system to identify the patterns coherent with their shared identity, tasks, priorities, and practices. As a result of this deep dive into exploring their patterns, educators then identify options for action to generate and sustain the patterns they want to see.
