Are You Prepared For The Future Of Social Learning?

Are You Prepared For The Future Of Social Learning? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Are You Prepared For The Future Of Social Learning?

by Krish Kupathil, Mobiliya


R = e –t/s where R is retention, T is time and S is strength. A formula detailing a chemical reaction, or the new math behind a social media outreach strategy? Actually, an expression of the ability to remember, discovered by the German psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus. Known as the famous Forgetting Curve, it hypothesized the decline of memory retention over time. In fact we now know that 50 percent of formal learning is forgotten within the first hour.

With this statistic in mind, it is surprising that our formal education system –our schools, colleges and universities— has primarily relied on conventional learning methods to deliver information. Until even a few decades ago, schools, colleges and even professional organizations saw learning happening through structured modules, courses and programs delivered by the ‘head’ of the class, typically a teacher or trainer, to a group of passive listeners.


With the Internet exploding with information resources and tools for learning, teachers can be facilitators of information with a greater emphasis on explanation and critical thinking as opposed to the dissemination source. Formal learning systems have in some cases been slower to adopt this model, rightfully concerned with accuracy of material and consistency; yet with ever increasing numbers of individuals accessing information in learning environments, the necessity of these formal systems to adopt technological change is very clear."

How Provocative dare you be? - Coaching through Change Problems

How Provocative dare you be? - Coaching through Change Problems | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Provocative coaching is a great tool during change processes. Dare you disrupt your client to help them find a resourceful response to the change problem?

 

“Content is verbal and already known. I advise you to not get drawn into the story the client tells. Instead, look at how they are and who they are. The information you need to help them get unstuck is IN the process.

 

Points excerpted:

Look for nonverbal cues. Don’t always listen to what the client says!Keep your attention with them completely: notice their nonverbal communication, and their patterns of telling their story, their patterns of behaving. The key is to interrupt their patterns – to distract them – to take them out of their current state of mind – to help them see the situation with fresh eyes and wake up and learn.”“When you’re thinking what to do next – you’re away from the present. Stay aware in the here and now with your client.”The three demons that jeopardize a person’s effectiveness: muscle tension, inner noise and tunnel vision. 

To serve the client and nothing but the client – we must provoke a resourceful response – to let them find and appreciate what is true and what is helpful in their change process.

Because of ICT there are sooooo many NEW possibilities to use with the computers and the internet. Just imagine that a company owner should employ people for each special application, NO WAY! (S)He wouldn’t have enough money to afford it!!! So it is necessary that the 21st Century worker/employee would be an all-rounder!

How People Learn: An Evidence-Based Approach | LEARNing To LEARN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Deans for Impact believes that teacher educators should focus on how students acquire and retain information to help them build their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.


6 Scientific Principles Every Teacher Should Know

Unfortunately, our education system is rife with misconceptions and confusion about learning. So let's clear away the myths and focus on well-established cognitive principles and their implications for the classroom:

1. Students learn new ideas by relating them to what they already know, and then transferring them into their long-term memory.

This means that teachers should make sure that students have -- or should provide students with -- the background knowledge needed for understanding new content. Students without adequate background knowledge, or who are otherwise not given enough instructional guidance, can be quickly overwhelmed in the classroom.

In Europe Digital Skills Matter: An Interview with Telecentre Europe Managing Director, Gabriel Rissola

In Europe Digital Skills Matter: An Interview with Telecentre Europe Managing Director, Gabriel Rissola | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Young people and children may know how to operate devices but are not necessarily prepared to think digitally. The idea that the new generations are all “digital natives” is a fallacy. Interestingly, the school is now considered as THE place that should undertake the mission to prepare them for the challenges of the digital-by-default society in which they will live. But schools are not ready yet. For example, when one of my daughters recently started secondary school she was immersed in a new pedagogic model that is based on the use of a handheld device instead of books. The model came from a partnership with the industry and counted with the support of the school principal. Although I welcomed the initiative, I soon noticed a mix of new and old ways of teaching that weakened its effectiveness. The intention was great but it was not accompanied by an adequate preparation of teachers to act as learning facilitators. This is one of the major challenges for schools, in my view.

When we think of young people today we also deal with another contradiction. Many of them are unemployed; with some regions in Europe where as far as one out of two youths are unemployed. But at the same time, digital skills are increasingly demanded by the labour market (there will be about 825,000 ICT vacancies in EU by 2020). We tend to think that young people automatically have these skills. But they don’t. Therefore, digital literacy is becoming as important as traditional literacy and numeracy. Digital literacy is not only about the ability to use office or social media tools. It also implies understanding the logic behind it- what some call “computational thinking”- and this can be acquired, for example, by coding.

Another problem, as pointed out by many experts, is the lack of students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and this will only make the skills gap deeper. STEM studies are apparently not fashionable. So we need to make them more appealing, for example, by adding topics such as Arts or Creativity to stimulate interest and innovation in these fields. We can also work on better aligning university career plans to the labour market demands and expectations.

Why IoT Security Is So Critical | Internet of Things | CyberSecurity | Privacy | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Twenty years ago, if you told me my phone could be used to steal the password to my email account or to take a copy of my fingerprint data, I would’ve laughed at you and said you watch too much James Bond. But today, if you tell me that hackers with malicious intents can use my toaster to break into my Facebook account, I will panic and quickly pull the plug from the evil appliance.

What is evident is that the IoT will become an important part of our lives very soon, and its security is one of the major issues that must be addressed via active participation by the entire global tech community. Will we be able to harness this most-hyped, emerging technology that will undoubtedly revolutionize the world, or will we end up opening a Pandora’s Box that will spiral the world into a new age of mayhem and chaos? Let’s hope for the former.

Student Voice Comes With Teachers as Listeners | LEARNing To LEARN

Student Voice Comes With Teachers as Listeners | LEARNing To LEARN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

This piece was actually sparked by an interview of Lady Gaga by Soledad O' Brien at the Born This Way Emotion Revolution Summit where Gaga stated, "It's time to stop telling learners what to do and 

start listening for we can do for them.”


One of those accepted practices, sadly, in most educational settings is that the teacher is the authority to be respected and listened to without question. Listening to students is not a practice that is often taught in teacher education programs.


There is a current movement, in some circles, to promote and honor student voice.  But, and this is a huge but, if educators are serious about honoring student voice, they need to first learn how to listen, really listen to their students.

Students who are given a voice in setting goals gain ownership in what they’re learning. Teachers who listen to what students tell them they need to learn gain more than just a better understanding of the children they teach — they gain clarity on their roadmap to better teaching. And when conversations about teaching and learning are allowed to happen, teachers and students develop mutual trust and high expectations. (Want to Improve Teaching? Listen to Students)

Dixie Binford's curator insight, November 30, 2015 10:25 AM

As I visit classrooms, I see teachers working hard at lecturing and students passively receiving.  A few students may be actively taking notes of some kind but most are just listening, maybe.  In John Hattie's , Visible Learning (pp.43-44), one of the most effective predictors of student performance is the student's own reporting of his/her level of knowledge of the content.

Prometheus's curator insight, December 3, 2015 2:41 PM
Listening to students is important. The emphasis on this and it's repercussions for learning in the classroom are something that ties in with the Te Kotahitanga program that is in place across school in New Zealand. Getting to know students and developing relationships with them for me has always been key and listening to students is an essential part of this.

Why are the best players sitting on the bench? | CTQ | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Teacher expertise.



Why? Here are a few reasons from the researchers on why teacher expertise in education policy (development, implementation, reflection, etc.) is important:






  • Reform can be problematic if teachers do not have a voice in education policy changes and the policy agenda (Wells, 2012; Bangs & Frost, 2012).
  • Teacher voice and teacher leadership is vital for the success of reform movements (Little, 1988; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2011; Wells, 2012; York-Barr & Duke, 2004).
  • There is a chasm between current education policy and what teachers know and experience as practitioners (Bangs & Frost, 2012).
  • There is a huge gap between policy and practice in education (Berry et al., 2013).
  • We have a history of failed education reforms and policies with very little teacher input, and if there is teacher input, it may not be in meaningful ways. Think “rubber stamp” (Goldstein, 2014; Ravitch, 2011; anyone who looks at the history of education).


Teachers are the experts who will help identify the problem, the root cause of the problem, and the possible policy solution(s).

So the checklist? It’s a great start. But I have a to ask a question that could make it even stronger.

In the words of Goldstein (2013), “Why are the best players in the game of education reform sitting on the bench?”

Reasons to link learning to the real world

Linking learning in a classroom has further benefits. It will engage the learner by giving them a real reason to have this skill or knowledge. It should not just be for a test that they will have to do! Let’s face it, for a lot of students this will automatically dis-engage them from the subject. On a side note; if learning is always based around having to learn it for the exam then I can say that take up in that subject later in life will become less likely… We all know the students who say that they are not doing this subject or that subject because it is boring! So make it interesting… As a teacher pass on that passion you have for your subject and engage the young person. Again, this can easily be done through a real world context.

Another positive side effect of a young person being engaged in learning is that they will demonstrate a positive behaviour for learning. As a teacher you will start to notice that they are now starting to ask questions (inquire) about the subject or learning outcome. Why not take this further? What about rewarding the learner for asking questions about the real world context, rather than for what they get right? I liken this to being a fisherman. You use the hook (real world context) to catch the fish (learner). Then in order to reel them in you get them to ask questions and then reward them for the question that they ask. All the time that this is happening the fisherman (teacher) is bringing the fish (learner) closer to the shore (learning outcome) through the deep waters (inquiry led deeper learning strategy). This thinking can form the basis of many lesson activities in the classroom.

This is how learners demonstrate deeper learning and it will ultimately ensure that they do not forget that learning. Learning stays in their mind because it has a purpose for them, a real reason to have it. It also creates the spark for them to want to know more.

  • Be the thing you teach.
  • Be the expert of your classroom.
  •  Be data savvy.
  • Be continually reflective on your practice.
  • Be able to defend your practice.
This directive is similar to the data-savvy and expert points, but teacher leaders need to be able to explain their craft. Your administrator will be trotting all kinds of people through your classroom.  As a teacher leader, you might be a maverick, doing things a little differently than the rest of the herd. Be prepared to defend that road less traveled.  Know why you do the things you do.  Then, as a leader, share everything you know.

How to build a learning worker mindset

How to build a learning worker mindset | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Why in this day and age, it is important to become a “learning worker”, and that for me  “learning to learn” doesn’t just mean “learning how to study” in formal courses. etc – although that’s a part of it, but nowadays it also means:

  • building a habit of continuous, everyday learning – and keeping your eyes and ears constantly open and learn from everything around you
  • extracting the learning from your work experiences – this, after all, is how most of how we learn to do our work takes place – as we do our job 
  • keeping up to date with what’s happening in your industry and profession – not just by going to an annual conference or reading a few industry magazines – that pretty much tells you what’s happening now, not what’s happening next – the place to find that out is in on the Social Web, in your professional social networks
  • recognising serendipitous learning – the accidental, unplanned learning that takes place everyday as a consequence of other things.

For me, this is the new work of learning professionals – one that involves helping and supporting individuals – rather than creating and delivering one-size-fits-all content!
