LESSON 3 Flashcards
A personalized approach recognizes that not all students learn in the same manner
PERSONALIZED LEARNING
Personalized learning involves this so that students can learn in ways that suit their personal needs
Differentiating Instruction
These are the ways in which educators ca adjust their teaching methods
(cma)
Differentiate
-Content Difficulty
-Modes of Delivery
-Assessment strategies
Instruction was usually transmission-style under a paradigm of teaching often referred to as the
Banking Model of Education
Examples of Personalized Learning
(die)
- Differentiated Instruction
- Individualized Education Plans
- Enhanced Freedom of Choice in the Classroom
In the 20th Century, students were expected to conform to the mainstream or be excluded. But in the 21st century, social inclusion and difference are celebrated.
(EDI)
Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity
Educators are attempting to close achievement gaps between rich and poor.
Equity
A goal of 21st century educators is to achieve
Equality of Outcomes
Considered a strength in classrooms. When students are different, they learn that difference is okay. They befriend people of different cultures and learn not be afraid of other cultures around them.
Diversity
This can help contribute to the mainstream life and show that students are welcome and equal participants in the world.
Inclusivity
Driving factors behind the turn toward increased equity, diversity, and inclusivity include:
- A shift to the social model of disability, which argues that society needs to adapt to include people with the learning and physical disabilities into mainstream classrooms
- Increased cultural diversity leading to greater awareness of differences between cultures.
- Feminist and critical theories gaining currency in society, leading to awareness of the need for greater gender equality.
Having first-hand experience with applying information to the real world
Getting the opportunity to learn through trial and error
Learning information that isnt just theoretical but can be applied to things in our lives somehow
Learning Through Doing
Approaches to education that fit within this 21st century ‘learning through doing’ paradigm
(cpppp)
(CPPPP)
- Cognitive Constructivism
- Problem Based Learning (PBL)
- Problem Posing Education (PPE)
- Project Based Learning
- Phenomenon Based Learning (PhBL)
An approach that is popular in Finland. Rather than learning through subjects, students focus on a phenomenon that requires them to use multiple different forms of knowledge from different subject areas to learn about the phenomenon in a holistic way.
Phenomenon Based Learning (PhBL)
A theory of learning that believe we learn by constructing ideas in our heads, rather than having them inserted into our minds.
Cognitive Constructivism
In a problem posing environment, the teacher or student will come up with a problem and present the problem to the class.
Problem Posing Education (PPE)
Students will work on one big problem for many lessons at a time. Students will often work together and use resources around them like community members or the internet to create something new.
Project Based Learning
A teaching strategy based on cognitive constructivism where learning through problem-solving is involved.
Problem Based Learning (PBL)
Classrooms have changed from being teacher-centered to student-centered. The teacher’s job is to heal coach the students as they learn.
Rethinking Learner and Teacher Roles
In the 20th century, teacher and learner roles were very rigid:
- Teacher as Authority
- Passive Students
The students sat, listened, and memorized. They had very few opportunities to contribute their prior knowledge, exercise choice, or challenge the teacher’s point
Passive Students
The active participant. They did all the talking and were the ultimate authority on all topics. They the sage on the stage.
Teacher as Authority
In the 21st century, the roles of both the teacher and the student have changed:
- Teacher as Facilitator
- Active Students
Co-learner with the students. They may still need to control the environment by making it safe and focused on learning. The teacher is no longer the center of the attention.
Teacher as Facilitator
Students learn through doing rather than listening. The teacher is no longer the authority on knowledge, so students need to come to conclusions themselves using critical thinking and creative skills.
Active Students
Increasingly realizing how important community engagement is for learning. Teachers know the can’t be experts on everything.
Community Relationships
It is important to use new learning technologies in appropriate ways. Students shouldnt use technology to prevent them from thinking of help them cheat.
Technology
Teaching children in this century is clearly much more complicated than it was in the last one. To ensure students get the best learning possible, 21st century teachers need ongoing training and support. They need to know all the latest research on best teaching practices.
Teacher Professionalism
what are the 7 key features of 21st century education
- personalized learning
- equity, diversity, inclusivity
- learning through doing
- rethinking learner and teacher roles
- community relationships
- technology
- teacher professionalization
