A 30 minutes documentary about Prof. David Passig
How will the great leaps in technology affect basic human values? For David Passig, who has earned his doctorate in Future Studies, studying the past and the present is the basis for predicting the future.
I have developed a Taxonomy of Future Cognitive and Learning Skills. This Taxonomy attempts to refresh Blooms taxonomy of cognitive skills to reflect future needs. It also suggests a new thinking skill that was not included in Bloom's categories—named Melioration. It is assumed that this skill will be much required from the alumni of our schooling system in the future. This Taxonomy is being taught worldwide at teachers' colleges and MBA programs. I am developing tools with which one can measure the skill and develop it as well. The following papers represent the taxonomy of cognitive skill that I have published:
Passig, David (2007) Melioration as a Higher Thinking Skill to Enhance Future Intelligence. Teachers College Record. Columbia University. 109 (1), 24–50.
Passig, D. & Cohen, L. (2006) Innovative Combinations: A Tool for Measuring the Melioration Skill. Teachers College Record. Research Note. Date Published: October 09, 2006 http://www.tcrecord.org/ID Number: 12776.
Passig, David (2001) A taxonomy of ICT mediated future thinking skills. In Taylor, H. and Hogenbirk, P. (2001) Information and Communication Technologies in Education: The School of the Future. Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston, pp 103-112.
I have also developed a Future's Research methodology named "Imen-Delphi" (ID). This methodology reflects a new paradigm in Futures' Thinking. The ID aims at structuring a procedure through which a group of experts could invent preferable futures, as opposed to the classical " Delphi" forecasting technique with which a group of experts is engaged in figuring out the most probable future. I am conducting various case studies to enhance its reliability and validity in helping various groups shaping their future imageries. The following papers represent the ID methodology in the published literature:
Passig, David & Sharbat, Aviva (2000) Electronic-Imen-Delphi (EID): An Online Conferencing Procedure. Education Media International (EMI). The official Journal of the International Council for Educational Media (ICEM) 37 (1), 58-67. Routledge.
Passig, David (1998). An applied Social Systems Procedure for Generating Purposive Sound Futures. Systems Research and Behavioral Science. The Official Journal of the International Federation for Systems Research. Winter 15 (1), 315-325. Wiley & Sons. England.
Passig, David (1997) Imen Delphi: A Delphi Variant Procedure for Emergence. Human Organization. Journal of the Society for Applied Anthropology. Southern Methodist University. Dallas, TX. Spring, 56 (1), 53-63.
I have established the Multimedia and Virtual Reality Laboratories at the School of Ed, and am conducting research on various aspects of the Human User Learning Interface of Virtual Reality and Multimedia. This Lab is the first Lab in Israel aimed at researching and teaching Virtual Reality in Education.
I am studying also the impact of ICT interfaces on a variety of human cognitive and social aspects as well as learning processes. I am suggesting that ICT interfaces are having unexpected impact on the users awareness to a variety of cognitive phenomena. I am also suggesting that VR can enhance some cognitive skills. The following papers represent this ongoing endeavor:
