Having assigned task on ELT-2, we were suppose to see how English language was imparted by the pioneers of 18th century as well as now by 21st century initiators. With what constraints, restrictions, elements, components and how now it is sustaining its very nature, though with the arrival of internet in wider terms that had made the entire world one, seems to be situated in a hole with the wall.
In first video, Sir Ken Robinson is talking about 'the changing paradigms' in public education system. Which is done by reformation in this particular area and it is for two reasons: economic and cultural identity.
The raised question is: How the education can be imparted to the 21st century students, so that they might have place in economy and we may get the required results.
How through education they can figure out the sense of cultural identity?
Which he is seeing through the past; how there was batch system, the education was imparted only for a particular age group but now there isn't any criterias as such but the free vent towards education enhancement and enrichment.
Industrial revolution was occured in such a way that the very education system was industrialized. Where there was separate facilities, specialized subjects, batch system and education imparted only to a specific group of students and it was difficult for working class people to get through the education. Therefore there was divide in education field and now the strivance for public education reformation is initiated.
In mid nineteenth century, the education was centralized on enlightenment and with this intellectuality and economy were more emphasised and obviously there were only few benefactors.
All these differences of non-academic, academic, smart, non-smart people regarding myths were vanished with the endeavor of reforming public education but then modern epidemics came and still the problem of attention deficit disorder(ADHD) is there though in different manner.
It seems that human's constant practice in this particular field is needed as with time and space, it fluctuates in disorientation.
With renewal of 21st century culture, also came the concept of divergent thinking, which isn't a synonym for creativity but a capacity for creativity and how you can see one thing in different context without any convergences(an example of clip is given). While innovation is something beyond to this.
Sugata Mitra's videos; one on 'the school in cloud(the hole in the wall) and another on the future of learning. Where he is stressing on: 'Traditionality regarding education would be eradicated' and something like 'school in the cloud' would get implement as it is the education system, which runs a decade ahead of usual education system.
Where he had done many experiments regarding hole in the wall, where a computer is situated in the hole and self-organised learning is happening on children's own pace. The cloud system comprises of a grani and the cloud(for switching on-off the lights).
- Project based on pronounciation.
- Project based on subject specification.
- Project based on adaptation towards learning.1
He further says that the teacher must ask big questions to the students, so that they can come with interesting stuff and in this way, at many places the experiments were being done and sought the results for analyzation to see the gaps in education system. It is not only done with rich students but particularly to see, how the students who are abandoned from such privileges can acquire education(based on education for all{idea}).
Let's use video to reinvent education. This video is by Salman khan, a developer of non-profit organization, "Khan Academy". Habituated to impart information in traditional mode, but once thought to upload a video on YouTube. In comparison to traditional mode of teaching, online mode of teaching got many reviews. One of the reviews was from his cousin, suggesting him to upload video online as said by Salman Khan own that he need automated Salman Khan not Salman Khan himself. While the actual reason was, when anything is in online mode, one can watch at one's convenient time rather than getting well-equipped with all essentials, when attending class in traditional mode.
In this aspect, to him online education seems to be more feasible and something to rely on.
In the last video, about digital natives and digital immigrants is discussed.
By concluding, I would only like to say that through studying and experiencing many unexplored/underexplored areas, one gets to the depth of represented/underrepresented spaces, before.
Thank you😊❤💐
