Thanks for sharing that article. Would you happen to have other recent articles that describe the results after 3 years of the new approach? [Even if you google search for me in Finnish and share the top-five relevant results, this would be super helpful for me. I can use google translate after that.]

I agree with you that primary and middle school students are too young to be self-directed, but that doesn't necessarily contradict the no-subjects approach. The phenomenon-based learning can still be led by a teacher.

Also as far as technology being distracting, that doesn't surprise me much. I think some very careful selection of the apps and tools is needed, but it can totally be done (e.g. offline or local installation of web apps and tools specific to learning and not open access to the internet or game-like apps).
