Connectivism-the new ism
From:E-Pedagogy, by Bobby Elliott: www.scribd.com/doc/932164/E-Pedagogy
Connectivism: George Siemens. "learning is the process that occurs when knowledge is transformed into something of meaning." data to information to knowledge to meaning.
There are eight principles of connectivism:
1. learning and knowledge rest in diversity and opinion.
2. learning is a process of connecting specialised nodes of information sources.
3. learning may reside in non-human applicances.
4. capacity to know is more important than what is currently known.
5. maintaining connections is needed for continual learning.
6. ability to see connections between ideas and concepts is a key skill.
7. currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is vital in learning.
8. decision making is itself a learning process.

We have been here all along guys. Glad you could make it.
Yes -- the new 'ism' indeed. I wonder, though ... in the end, how different is this from social constructivism, one of the older 'isms'?

ReplyDeleteBUT SERIOUSLY NOW: ideas are fashionable, fashion is ideas, ideas are old and new but more often somewhere in between. AND of course Tis a new world when ideas can be one. Another ism- postmodernism should have cleared all this polarity up really, but of course it hasnt. Perhaps some clearasil-Pharmacies can do anything these days!!
