A modern mixture, Agency, Capability, Technology and ‘Scrum’: Agile Work Practices for Learning and Teaching in Schools
Karl Royle, Jasmina Nikolic
Abstract
This paper introduces a pedagogical method derived from agile work practices, particularly the scrum method of
project based working. It will discuss how this agile method can be aligned with teaching and learning in formal
schooling and project based learning developing an agile pedagogical approach which can lead to: greater
agency for both learners and teachers; the purposeful integration of digital tools into practice; and the
development of human capability and functioning through a change in learning design. It goes further in
conceptualizing the teaching - learning dynamic as a “technology for learning” in so far as technology is
definable as a purposeful process of knowledge creation.
