Welcome!

Posted on October 26, 2015 by nickFebruary 24, 2018

didaks2014_(37)So what are “didactics”, you ask? It’s the theory and practical application of teaching and learning. Like all members of our team, most people fold for recreational purposes, but we also believe that paper folding can have an important place in education, as well as research, health and other areas. Our group aims to promote this wider use of folding, as well as studying the documentation and history of the art.

The aim of this site is to draw together information from the different folding didactic groups around the world and to provide a place to share resources. Please use our forum if you wish to discuss anything (you need to register first).

Pages from a specific country will be in their language, but you can easily choose your own language from the translation option on the right. Please let us know if your group would like to be added to this site and happy folding!

When folding means really creativity

Posted on January 24, 2019 by Joan SallasJanuary 24, 2019

Hanna is one of the folding pupils in the French school in Barcelona. She created a simply face and today she teach it to the other pupils. Here the result.

The best of children own letter fold models in the French school in Barcelona: folding instructions, memory and teaching teacher are no need.

Lycée Français in Barcelona

Posted on November 29, 2018 by Joan SallasJanuary 20, 2019

Since last october I accorded with my 6-8 years old pupils in the weekly origami class in the Lycée Français in Barcelona, that at the begin of each class, one pupil will show a model to the other pupils. Children love frequently the role of the teacher, much more than the teacher love the role of the pupil. Sadly.
Until last week, each pupil prepared a model that learn from an origami book or from somebody, and show it to the other. Because the pupils don’t explain before which model they will teach, this moment is attended every week with a great expectation. After the teaching we all make one ritual applause.
Last week, Lucas prepared his model to teach to the other children, but he didn’t took it from an origami book or from another person: he create it. Because next 6th december will be the Santa Claus day, Lucas recreated it on this subject. When he show it, the others pupils protested and said it was too easy. He said „it is easy, but I created it“. I supported him and promoted the others to recreate the interpretation of Lucas, and they did it with full love, concentration, fantasy, and a lot of folding variations and draws. I show you here all the results. Can you guess which was the model of Lucas? Without doubt are teachers who learn and are educate from pupils, and not pupils from teachers.

7OSME 2018 – papers wanted

Posted on October 30, 2017 by nickOctober 30, 2017

The 7th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (7OSME) will take place at Oxford University, UK, between 5th and 7th September 2018.  The meeting will be held prior to with the autumn Convention of the British Origami Society.

The OSME meeting is one of the most important gatherings of the origami community around the world. Previous meetings, held approximately every four years, have been highly successful; the community has grown exponentially, (over 300 participants attended in the 6OSME in Tokyo). The meeting proceedings have become the definitive guide for advanced origami research.

There are various strands to the meeting, including a stream dedicated to Origami in Education.  This will feature presentations from both researchers and teachers on the work that they have done around the world.

At the heart of the conference is the presentation of and publication of research papers.  The deadline for submission of papers is the 15th March 2018.  However, in advance of this we are inviting authors to submit abstracts, (shorter summaries of papers).  The call for abstract submission for papers went out on September 1st and the 7OSME website is now open to receive submissions.

Details of the submission process, via a conference management system known as Easychair, can be found on our website.  Both abstracts and full papers should be submitted through Easychair.  If you do not have an account with Easychair, use the link provided above to create an account.

Full details can be found here; http://osme.info/7osme/submission.html

Before 1st December 2017, only abstracts are required.   These submissions will be reviewed by the technical committee and a decision will be made on the suitability of the proposal to be developed into a full paper for 7OSME.  This decision will be made no later than 6th February 2018.

Abstracts are invited in a standard format comprising a 2-page of A4 / letter PDF format. Two templates are provided on the website, one in MS Word and the other in LaTeX. You may include figures and tables in your submission.

We aim to make the proceedings of 7OSME available at the meeting, which will then be published as a book entitled “Origami7”. As a result, the gap between notification of acceptance of abstracts and the deadline for full paper submission is quite close.  We would encourage potential participants to start preparing the full paper now.

If you would like to know more about 7OSME and keep up to date with the conference as it develops we are inviting people to pre-register through our website: http://osme.info/7osme/
