Digital micro-credentials in the context of educational metasystemology: an approach to open education pedagogies with video lessons designed learning-centered strategies
Elena RAILEAN, Yuliana GERMAN
Educational metasystemology (EM) is the frontier science of pedagogy and educational management. EM is focused on seeking sustainable ways in learning design to guarantee a synergistic effect in the lifelong capacity of learners to learn by planning, observing, and assessing effective learning strategies throughout life. Its notable feature is that teacher(s), student(s), and environment(s) work in tandem. Educational metasystemology is based on the Metasystems Learning Design Theory that assumes that learning outcomes are a result of self-regulation, personalization, feedback diversity, clarity, dynamism flexibility, and ergonomics. This article aims to understand the role and impact of video lessons in digital use and the development of micro-credentials in the context of educational metasystemology as an innovative approach to open education pedagogies. Results show that micro-lessons evolve from multimedia lessons to video clips and videoconferencing. However, their integration into digital microcredentials cannot be achieved without the adoption of metacognitive strategies, digital assessment, and the establishment of an ecosystem of learning and communication for sustainability. This approach evidences the role of critical thinking, real problem-solving, and creativity.
