Applying IDC theory to education in the Alps region: A response to Chan et al.’s contribution
In this paper, we present a response to the Interest-Driven Creator (IDC) Theory from a European perspective. Specifically, we raise six questions intended to start a dialogue with respect to IDC Theory’s placement in existing learning theories, its adoption in educational systems, and how it can be influenced by emerging learning technologies and digitalization, which is currently a driving force in the Alps region. By referring to our own work in vocational education and classroom orchestration, we demonstrate how IDC can begin to play a part in guiding innovations and its potential impact on education both in and outside of Asia. With respect to digitalization, rather than allowing technological innovations to fully guide educational decisions, we call for IDC theory to be part of the conversation to help guide future educational designs.
