How were your past lessons like? Did you spend hours memorising information, all just to forget them hours after your examinations?
With repetitive machines like Artificial Intelligence gradually replacing such memorization and regurgitation skills, it is crucial that one spends time today in defining problems, gathering the necessary information and solving problems, rather than just regurgitating information.
Dr. Helen Bound, a research fellow at Singapore’s Institute of Adult Learning, outlined future-oriented pedagogies in one of her research notes that align with the goals of this project. They consist of a “dance” between the following 3 pedagogical approaches:
Educator-led : Reproducing Knowledge (RK)
- Primary speaker in lessons: Educators
- Educators make sense of the content and present it to passive learners
- Standard problem: There is often an SOP
/w=3840,quality=90,fit=scale-down)
Mixed : Distributed Knowing (DK)
- Primary speaker in lessons: Educators and Learners
- Educators make some sense of the content, but so do learners
- Non-standard problems: There is no SOP, but solution(s) are known
Learner-led : Dynamically Generated Knowing (DGK)
- Primary speaker in lessons: Learners
- Learners actively do the work of learning
- Highly Complex problems: Students identify, name the problems and develop solutions
/w=3840,quality=90,fit=scale-down)
With ClassDo, we encourage the following two quadrants of information: Distributed Knowing (DK) and Dynamically Generated Knowing (DGK). With collaborative tools, we encourage you to take charge of your own learning: not only to make sense of the content delivered to you, but also to critically solve problems.
If you were sent an invite link by your educator, explore how to join your live session.
Otherwise, feel free to explore ClassDo’s tools for you to perform Creative Skilling.
