Module 6: Learning in
a Digital World
Module 6-Blog Post Discussion
What is my philosophy of
learning?
My philosophy of learning is that the belief of Driscoll
(2005). According to Driscoll belief “Constructivist
learning is when students are actively engaged in using problem-solving and
their critical thinking skills (p. 387).
Knowledge should be constructed by the students by evaluating their
ideas, using their inspiration, and making use of their former knowledge. The learning must be significant and
comparative to their real world circumstances.
More time to think and perform in real life difficulties is not
necessary. What is needed is successful
interactive experiences that motivate and enthusiastically engages learners in
the learning process.
What do I believe is
critical and non-negotiable in the teaching and learning process?
What I believe is critical and non-negotiable in the
teaching and learning process in this 21st century is
technology. When technology is executed
properly it allows the opportunity for teachers and students to exhibit their
inventiveness in learning and use of their own thought process. In the 21st century we are driven
by technology and with its usage learners value applying the proper technology
expertise or strategies while using it.
It is believed that teaching is based on the principle that learning
happens when learners are actively engaged in a technique where meaningful
knowledge is constructed. In this era a
teacher is not seen as the authority figure with all the answers to every
inquiry. The teacher is the facilitator
of instructions and while he or she is facilitating, learning occurs for the
both the facilitator and the student.
They are both learners, learning from each other.
