Based on a recent interview with Mr. Paul Chan (innovation management principal consultant with commitment on design thinking and UNSDGs) that futures of education relie on a 3Os mindset and a 3Cs approach. We need to be open- minded with an open attitude and open source of data to unlearn and relearn for the knowledge that we have gained.
Besides, with a 3Cs approach – community-building, communication with true data and connections can help us to think from a new 3-D perspective. This is a part of life education – reflect with cultural understanding, relearn knowledge for sustainable lifestyle with art elements to re-build a community that we are pursuing.
The sharing of Mr. Chan echos to the recent research findings of Dr. Shirley Yeung (Chair, Metaverse Mindset Project, UNSDSN-Kenya) that the key factors potentially related to Art Curriculum with Business for Resilience are: Online Learning Management Approach and Satisfaction in Life.
Hence, it is time for educators and trainers in the workplace to consider how to foster spiritual and cultural spirit with technology. We need to create a metaverse learning environment to students to think and re-think, to unlearn, relearn and seek answers for themselves, inviting students to ask questions rather than declare responses.
If a student becomes more attuned to his or her Metaverse Mindset and embraces an adventurous spirit, he or she may produce a product or design a service or a service flow. Then, a maker emerges. A maker is a producer rather than a consumer. A maker can be an author, a designer, an engineer, an artist, a builder, an architect with originality and understanding of life. A teacher can facilitate a learner with a maker’s spirit via DIY mentorship with suggestions and encouragement. Designing an app, creating a website, writing your own story, reflecting on a lesson, designing an IG template, painting a picture, taking a photograp, planting a garden at home with explanation of the ideas is a transformative learning journey. What happens to our lives, and how to seek answers from the design process are part of the transformative learning journey.
A Metavese Mindset is important because it is a mental framework that allows a learner, a teacher, a CEO…etc. to look inward and outward, to look for answers in life, business, communities with motivation, life satisfaction and re-invent a new way of absorbing knowledge, making the learning process in a funtech meaning-to-life way.
