5th of November

Keynote: Yrjö Engeström - The educational value of learning by cheating

  • Tries to explain why cheating is good
  • Studying stuff that will be on tests, not the whole content
  • learning vs. grades
  • not very useful to memorize lots of irrelevant stuff
  • Italy has a culture of cheating in final exams
  • It takes months to prepare a good cheating ware (belts etc.)
  • Gathering data from multiple sources to create a synthesis of knowledge
  • Preparation involves parents, grandparents and friends
  • Bad cheating is to use a ready made cheating slips
  • Good cheating is to create your own slips
  • Several students did not need to use cheating slips -> preparing them was enough
  • Cheating involves bad questions (fixed answers) and bad teaching
  • In a test with good questions (no fixed answer) cheating is not that useful -> you can't find correct answers anywhere

Keynote: Jiri Räsänen - eCars Now!
