Mindflip
This is a website designed to support educators in enhancing both their own and their students' critical thinking, with the goal of challenging and "popping" knowledge bubbles in education. Through an immersive AR experience, users can step into someone else’s knowledge bubble—exploring what they eat, the media they consume, and their core beliefs and ideals.
Mind flip reveals how these bubbles can profoundly shape a person's worldview and way of thinking. Developed by the Capability Lab, the platform also offers a curated catalog of educational tools that educators can use to address various classroom challenges.
We have adopted the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) framework as the foundation for our research, as it offers a structured and scientifically grounded approach to fostering the inner capacities essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By situating our work on knowledge bubbles within this framework, we aim to enhance key transformative skills such as critical thinking, perspective-taking, and openness. These capabilities are vital for navigating complexity, mitigating polarization, and enabling more reflective and sustainable decision-making in both individual and collective contexts.
