KnowNow-wellbeing key seamlessly unites pedagogy and technology together. The KnowNow-pedagogy is based upon three divisions/aspects of supporting and promoting wellbeing: Learning Wellbeing, Leading Wellbeing, and Wellbeing Environments. The technology is used to measure subjective and objective data and to gather relevant background information.
KnowNow-mittauksen avulla saadaan tietoa lapsen energisyydestä. Kiinnostuksen kohteena on, miten energiseksi lapsi itsensä kokee koulussa, kotona, harrastuksissa ja kavereiden kanssa. Energisyyttä havainnoidaan subjektiivisesti ja objektiivisesti mitatun datan perusteella KnowNow-mittalaitteella, joka perustuu Suunnon Movesense -teknologiaan. Laitetta pidetään rannekellon tavoin. KnowNow-mittari tunnistaa pienetkin liikkeet ja sen avulla voidaan muun muassa erotella uniaika ja passiiviset hetket (vaikkapa istuminen ja ruutuaika) mutta myös eritasoiset liikuntasuoritukset.
Teaching of wellbeing is often considered being a hard task. Knowledge/information seldom transforms our lifestyles; in addition transformation requires wellbeing and inner motivation. In this sense, learning wellbeing is easier because students are more naturally motivated and guided from inside – supported by a structure for learning. Learning Wellbeing answers the question “Why?”
Leading Wellbeing answers the question “How?”. This aspect concretely orientates students toward the goals of learning. These goals are not built only on a personal and individual level, but also on a classroom level - pedagogically and with assisting technology.
Wellbeing environments are both physical and social. They either facilitate or slow down learners in achieving their maximum potential. The KnowNow-wellbeing key aids students in perceiving and identifying the roles social relationships and recreation play regarding overall wellbeing. Together transformation becomes easier than alone. Wellbeing Environments -aspect answers the question “What?”
