Abstract

In this Qualitative Comparative Analysis, the ideas of  posters in a global online exchange are compared to a group of Big Thinkers in 21st century education. The analysis reveals many commonalities in their desire for urgent and radical change. Both groups are in agreement that a new paradigm of education is required, providing far more autonomy to teachers. In order for education to move towards innovation, creativity and cooperative problem-solving, the current and enduring tensions between this radical change and the prevailing standardisation discourse need to be resolved. There are opportunities for further research and action.
