“Today’s episode advocates for decolonising the classroom user experience (UX) by shifting from mandated curricula to co-creation. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, argues that the current top-down approach mirrors colonial practices, alienating students who don't see the relevance of the material to their lives. Co-creation, involving students and families in curriculum planning, is proposed as a solution, using frameworks like Understanding by Design (UbD). Specific examples in maths demonstrate how connecting abstract concepts to real-world applications increases student engagement. Dr. Hoerricks also addresses challenges to implementing co-creation and offers solutions to overcome them.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/decolonising-classroom-ux-from-mandatedLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
