Learning can, of course, take place in the classroom, but most of it doesn’t. Today’s learners are not just students; learning has suddenly become everybody’s business. In fact, learning “how to learn” may now be your most critical survival skill. from Jensen, E. Super Teaching. 1995.

21st Century Skills ●

●

Innovation is the key!

lifelong learning, learning how to learn, continuous development from “content-absorbers” to “information navigators”

LITERACY IN THE DIGITAL AGE

21st Century Skills ●

desired competencies: – – –

●

sift through loads of information and manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information act autonomously and reflectively join and function collaboratively in socially heterogeneous groups

must be provided the necessary tools for life –

use ICT to leverage knowledge & skills and match to current needs and opportunities Information literacy = e-literacy

Growing up Digital:

THE NET GENERATION ●

●

techno-natives (kids) vs. techno-migrants (us) –

India: “hole in the wall” experiment – 8-13 y old kids learn computers on their own

–

“instant”/ “copy-paste” generation

US figures: –

90% (5-17 years old) use computers

–

65% are online

–

2 million new Internet users per month (2002) ●

●

children and teens: fastest-growing (41% increase from 2000)

interactive Internet use: winning over passive TV-watching

●

educate for opportunity!

potential of technology: – –

in society-at-large: driver for change, door to opportunities in education: to tap experts, visualize and analyze data, link to real-world contexts, timely feedback, reflection, and analysis (Bransford et al, 1999 in enGauge 21st Century Skills) when used appropriately  enhanced teaching and learning

Traditional vs. 21 Century learning st

Traditional Learning Lifelong Learning Model Teacher = source of knowledge; Educators = guides, facilitators, planning for teaching; rigid

catalysts of learning; designing for learning; flexible

Learners conform to / receive knowledge from teacher – teacher-centered • chalk & talk • rote-learning & repetition • textbook-based • exam-driven

Learners learn by asking/inquiring, doing, authentic learning - studentcentered • life skills, competency-based, multiple intelligences & learning styles • vast information resources –

Learners work by themselves

People learn in groups and from each other; collaborative learning

From: TechKnowLogia, Jan-March 2003, p. 78. www.TechKnowLogia.org

Traditional vs. 21 Century learning st

Traditional Learning Model Tests: to prevent progress until

Lifelong Learning

Assessment: guides learning complete mastery of strategies and identifies facts/skills and to ration access pathways for future learning to further learning • integrated with the lesson • tests are separate from the • rapid feedback lesson All learners do the same thing Educators develop individualized learning plans Teachers receive initial training Educators are lifelong learners: plus ad hoc in-service training initial training and on-going professional development are linked = if learning has taken Grades = to establish ranking Rubrics place have access to learning “Good” learners are identified People and permitted to continue their education

opportunities over a lifetime

From: TechKnowLogia, Jan-March 2003, p. 78. www.TechKnowLogia.org

How does a teacher become a catalyst for transforming a plagiarist into the artist? How do we reach for Picasso, when we are entrenched in a “paint by number” ideology? 75% of teachers: sequential, analytical presenters BUT 70% of students do not learn best this way The lesson plan is like a restaurant menu – it’s a useful planning tool, but it’s not the meal. from Jensen, E. Super Teaching. 1995.

From the Business Software Alliance from Educating for the Future by BSA, June 2004 (how the business sector views 21st Century Learning)

General Math, Science, and Engineering Skills: marrying cutting-edge technology with current

problems and opportunities – facilitate analysis, evaluating information, making sound decisions, assessing and understanding results and implications, recommending improvements, etc.

General Workforce Skills: use ICT to collaborate and

practice teamwork on projects for shared credit; to enhance selfdirection, adaptability, accountability; critical thinking and creative problem solving; social responsibility and ethical behavior

Global and Civic Awareness: interact with/ participate in gov’t,

economic, and social institutions globally and locally, includes: finding multiple and best sources through ICT for accurate and unbiased information to gain multicultural literacy, and make sound decisions about various matters, taking advantage of egovernment services, etc.

ICT Literacy: use of ICT tools to communicate and express ideas effectively, to facilitate analysis and problem solving, to sort through resources for research and information synthesis, to manage time and tasks effectively – includes technological literacy and information literacy

Basic Literacy: functional proficiency in language and numeracy KNOWLEDGEABLE, SKILLED, SAVVY, GLOBALLY AWARE, ENGAGED, PRODUCTIVE STUDENTS adapted from Educating for the Future by BSA, June 2004

ICT4E Findings ●

“simply putting computers into schols is not enough to impact student learning” but well-utilized ICTs enhance learning – – – – –

allow multi-channel learning (different learning styles, tailored to individual needs and pacing) are motivating and engaging (authentic, multi-disciplinary, multisensorial, enjoyable) bring abstract concepts to life (via images, sounds movements, animations, simulations) foster inquiry and exploration in cost-effective & safe ways (bringing the world into the classroom) provide efficiency

Sample Positive ICT4E Impact ●

●

●

●

use of computer tutorials in math, science, social science, reading: score significantly higher on tests + more positive attitudes toward instruction and the subject matters (US, Kenya) use of word processors: scored higher on measures on writing skill (US) use of networked computers: enhanced communication skills, knowledge of other cultures, reasoning skills, collaboration skills, Internet skills (Kenya, Uganda, Chile) teacher training on ICT4E: innovative pedagogical approaches and classroom practices, more positive attitudes about technology and teaching (Costa Rica) Studies mentioned in M&E in ICT in Education Projects, InfoDev 2005. iSchools ICT Literacy Training Program for Teachers

Findings in TIMSS (1999, 2003) ●

●

Students who used computers and Internet performed better in science and mathematics Students who had other opportunities for learning outside the classrooms (ICT included) performed better in science and mathematics

ICT4E Issues ●

limited/ unequal access to ICT, costly investment –

●

●

including power, telecommunications access, Internet service

under-utilized by teachers –

unprepared

–

satisfied with current approach to teaching

–

technical difficulties abound

–

no sufficient time to adapt (overly packed curricula & school day, teaching to the test)

–

lacking strong admin support and policies

need for more Impact Research/ Studies via effective M&E iSchools ICT Literacy Training Program for Teachers
