1. Taking Education beyond four walls through
Social Learning Model
In their article, “Schooling as a Knowledge Profession,” Jal D. Mehta, Louis M.
Gomez, & Anthony S. Bryk, point out various flaws with the current educational
system, the greatest of which being that we are still operating within a paradigm
that mirrors the antiquated trends of the industrial age.
Today, the biggest challenge in the field of Education is the Quality of education.
More and more educational organizations are adapting the Social Learning
Model which is indeed changing the world as we know it.
Social Learning is a powerful blend of Social networking and e-learning, which is
transforming the traditional classroom education to an online collaborative
platform for teaching, learning and improving the student’s performance by
shortening the time needed for mastering, increasing retention, and increasing
engagement.
The Social Learning has been in existence for more than a dozen years, yet its
impact in terms of masses is still relatively low in comparison with other
educational approaches.
The rise of social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and various blogging
sites has played a role in revolutionizing the educational system. In the past,
students would attend class, take notes, take a test and be done with that subject
or class. During this time, teachers would have a finite amount of time to interact
with students, pose questions, fuel conversation, etc. However, there has been a
trend shift towards the incorporation of more social media outlets into the
education system, albeit on an informal basis.
Now, when students get out of class, they have the opportunity to share their
thoughts, experiences, and class notes with their peers, those in their classes as
well as those who are not. Furthermore, educators also have the chance to pose
questions outside of class for students to think about: questions, which are also
available to the public for responses and reflections (Source).
The beauty of social media as it pertains to social learning is that discussion is
opened up to a broader audience outside of the classroom. Students and
educators alike now have the ability to discuss what they are learning and
teaching with a much wider community, and with that, we get a wider amount of
people each having the potential to keep the conversation going by bringing their
own unique perspective.
It is clear that social media has already changed the face of the education system
for the better. There are more people than ever for us to learn from.
