Future Teachers Looking for their PLEs: the Personalized Learning Process Beh...Linda Castañeda
Presentation to the PLE Conference 2012 in Aveiro (Portugal).
This paper reports the results of a naturalistic study obtained from a teaching experience in higher education with first year students of the Primary School Teacher degree. In this study we want to analyse how they are organizing their activity for learning (reading, reflecting and sharing knowledge) and how those learning processes are integrated on their PLE.
The document discusses promoting personalized learning through cultivating four necessary mindsets:
1) A growth mindset - believing intelligence can be developed through effort rather than being fixed.
2) Self-efficacy - believing one can succeed through overcoming challenges.
3) A sense of belonging - feeling part of a learning community.
4) Relevance - finding value and purpose in learning tasks. Personalized learning aims to tailor lessons to individual students' needs and abilities.

As technology has become an agent of immense change, it has forced upon the education system Cloud Computing which in the future will have significant ripple effect. In this new educational environment personalized learning should take a central place. To reach this we first need to analyse what personalized learning exactly is. Although there are many definitions and interpretations there is a consensus that personalized learning starts with the learner with the learner in the centre, actively designing the learning goals, deciding how to access and acquire information, and owning the learning. To make this possible the existing virtual learning environment (VLEs) must be transformed into real personal learning environments, using an adapted pedagogy and making i-learning possible.
