Michael G. Sheppard discusses the idea of personalized education and whether or not it is the best model for education in the future.

Education

Personalized learning, or a model of education that utilizes computers to facilitate
self-directed, individualized learning that is tailored to a student’s abilities, ideal
learning method and interests, has gained a great deal of traction.
What possible effects could personalized learning have on students’ education if
implemented?
Advocates of personalized education believe that the benefits of this approach are
numerous. Students can learn in a way that is best suited to their personal needs,
can interact with the material in a way that takes advantage of their comfort with
technology and can take ownership over their own education in a way that builds
confidence and well-being. Some proponents claim that the fears people have
against personalized education are rooted in outdated bourgeois cultural norms that
fail to address the needs of modern students.

$The advantages of self-directed learning seem obvious, but what are the possible disadvantages? Critics claim that a personalized model would exacerbate the polarization of a culture that is already fractured. Self-directed learning amounts to learning in isolation and would degrade students’ already suffering from social development. Working to accomplish educational goals in a group is an important part of socialization that would be neglected by this model. While personalized education is supported by many educators, some teachers unions fear that implementing it would lead to replacing educators with computers. MichaelGSheppard.com$

What does the research say?
Where some studies, including the often cited
Gates/RAND report, have shown little evidence
to suggest a marked improvement in student
performance, a more recent study by Education
Elements shows significant progress toward
ACT goals in districts adopting a personalized
education model. More research is needed.
MichaelGSheppard.com

If anything is certain, it’s that our
society is becoming increasingly
computerized. The only question is,
what degree will these new
approaches be implemented, and
will we find a balance between
tested methods and emerging
technologies.

This document discusses the challenges in defining and measuring quality in early childhood education. It questions who gets to define quality - government agencies, professional associations, academics, local communities, or preschool proprietors. It also questions whether quality can be universal or should accommodate diversity and local context. The document discusses different approaches to defining and measuring quality, such as objective criteria versus recognizing multiple valid perspectives. It argues that seeking quality requires balancing accountability with flexibility and avoiding reducing early education to fit rigid preconceived models.

Changes or improvement of the school learning delivery in the new normal

PamelaJaneLalongisip

The Department of Education in the Philippines developed the Basic Education- Learning Continuity Plan and the learning portal "DepEd Commons" to facilitate teaching and learning activities during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, learning was done face-to-face but the new normal involves distance and blended learning through modular and online methods. This type of independent self-learning is more challenging than traditional collaborative learning in a physical classroom.

How to improve efficiency in schools

Michelle Vroom

Giving children a proper education takes a monumental effort from teachers, administrators, and parents. Any tools that make educating students more efficient would benefit both educators and students. Many schools are now utilizing technology like smartphones, tablets, and computers to make the education process more interactive and responsive. According to surveys, teachers say technology has improved their ability to access resources, share ideas with other teachers, and interact with parents and students. Website platforms like eSchoolView provide online tools and central access to information that can create efficiencies for schools.

The articles discuss the benefits and challenges of integrating information and communication technologies (ICTs) into early childhood literacy learning. Several articles highlight that ICTs can increase student engagement, motivation, and literacy skills like comprehension, vocabulary, and writing. However, some educators remain hesitant about replacing traditional teaching with technology. The literature also notes that teachers require quality professional development to effectively implement ICTs and avoid potential negative impacts. While ICTs provide opportunities to enhance literacy instruction, educators must ensure technology complements, rather than substitutes for, teacher-student interactions and play-based learning. Overall, the literature recognizes ICTs can positively impact early literacy development when used appropriately in early childhood settings.

Parents will need training on technology platforms and greater collaboration with schools. The future of schools is moving towards more online and virtual options to continue education.

Challenges of Education in Covid 19 - Prajwal Bhattarai - Nepal

Prajwal Bhattarai

Educational challenges during Covid-19 have significantly impacted many aspects of students' lives. Virtual learning has increased inequality in access to education and led to higher drop-out rates. The disruption will continue to have effects beyond education, including food insecurity, economic instability, and increased domestic violence. To address these issues, strategies need to focus on supporting virtual learning tools while protecting education financing. Educators also need to guide inquiry, critical thinking, and help integrate creative elements. Overall, this crisis presents an opportunity to improve education systems and make them more resilient and equitable.

The document discusses 5 key trends in education that will continue in 2022: 1. Technological trends in teaching and learning, such as the growth of online learning platforms, present benefits like access to education but also challenges for engaging students. 2. A focus on developing soft skills through activities that encourage collaboration as preparation for future careers, though online learning makes this difficult. 3. Decreasing student attention spans, down to 8 seconds from 12 seconds, due to technology use, requiring new teaching designs with strong narratives and visuals. 4. A shift towards teachers playing a facilitative role rather than only lecturing, as students can access information independently, requiring teachers to foster independent learning skills.

Educational institutions need to adapt to prepare students for the future workforce. Traditional education models are criticized for not providing necessary skills as technology advances rapidly. Younger generations have grown up with technology and demand more flexible, personalized, and interactive learning approaches.

This document discusses new models and trends in e-learning for teacher education and professional development. It identifies emerging international trends and developments from research. Modern technology has created opportunities for distance education and global teacher networks. However, teacher education must prepare educators to face changing technological contexts and model new pedagogies. Effective professional development takes into account how adults learn differently than children. It should encourage interaction and treat adult learners as self-directed. In the 21st century, teachers must be able to design optimal learning environments and respond to student needs through high standards, inquiry, continuous learning, and adaptability.
