Significant Changes in Education: Effects of Learning Approach

IRA International Journal of Education and Multidisciplinary Studies, 2015

Training, as each other range of our general public, has advanced by a wide margin lately. Customary teaching procedures, construct mostly in light of an educator clarifying a theme and understudies taking notes, may in any case be valuable every so often, yet training today spins more around urging the student to stir their interest and craving to learn. Various distinctive teaching procedures have risen because of this adjustment in training. Huge numbers of these teaching methods are not quite in any case! The utilization of innovation in the classroom has essentially given instruction another lease of life permitting us to approach old thoughts in new ways.

The author reviews various elements of what may be considered as evidence that the long-awaited shift in the education paradigm is actually happening. Concepts like student-centered learning, attainment-based evaluation, knowledge based constructivism and effort based intelligence are growing, are being more widely recognized as important and seem to be affecting the general way in which many educators are now conceptualizing education. These and other related ideas are evaluated and the author

With the constant technological development and globalization of our world, many professions have to keep up with these changes. Teachers are ones of them. They take responsibility not only for themselves but also for their pupils as their main task is to prepare their students for an independent life. Consequently, teachers are to keep up with all the novelties including innovative methods of teaching and development of new skills.

This chapter introduces a series of case studies into teaching and schooling. The chapter scaffolds the question: To what extent have schools and teaching changed since you were at school? How well positioned are these constructs to ensure students starting Prep next year are prepared for the next 20 years, at least?What does responding accordingly mean? This book is a collection of essays that focus on issues that are informing the work of the contemporary teacher. While somewhat broad in scope, the book provides the reader with a snap-shot of research endeavors that are informing teacher work. Essentially the book examines the changing nature of teacher work, including capabilities for the information age, the changing curriculum, new understandings about the brain, the diverse range of learners needs in inclusive classrooms and enhancing the mental health and well-being of students.

Pursuance of education is one of the most valuable achievement that a person can attain in humanlife. Education is the key to all human developments and strives to raise the standard of intelligence efficiency, understanding patriotic favour,and nationalistic spirits for social preposition and financial development. It is the root of a cultured and civilized society of national significance. The aim of school is not only to impart knowledge but also to make students efficient and responsible citizens.Learning tries to identify and foster the hidden talents of the students which, in future enable them to solve the problems of life creatively and effectively. A comprehensive university education is the need of the hour. Higher education must not yield experts in specific areas alone but must produce youth with a sense of social consciousness. Higher education is the cure for many social, economic and political evils. The pursuit of higher education must be to create a society known for its sense of values and add quality to our national life.

This article examines the evolving landscape of education through both modern approaches and new trends, highlighting their unique characteristics and shared goals in enhancing learning. Though the phrase modern approaches in education is much frequented in educational and pedagogical parlances, a clear meaning of the same is found lacking in the literature. Based on bibliometric analyses and educational theories, this paper explores the distinction between modern approaches, such as Experiential Learning, Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), Competency-Based Education (CBE), and Personalized Learning, which focus on long-term, researchbased methodologies, and new trends like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Gamification, and Microlearning, which respond to technological advancements and emerging needs. A total of 15 modern approaches/ trends in education after two-decades have passed the new millennium are briefly depicted and described. These strategies aim to develop critical thinking, collaboration, and emotional intelligence while promoting adaptive, studentcentered learning environments.

There is a broad consensus that the public school system is not delivering on its promise of quality education for all children, particularly for the disadvantaged learners. Under this circumstance, today there is an unprecedented level of support for doing things differently; and widespread recognition that new approaches and new structures will be essential to address the situation. When other sectors, e.g. health, finance, management, economics, have turned to innovation -new ways of doing things that bring about an improved result -it is sadly ironic that this is weaker in public education than in almost any other field, even though the purpose of this field is to advance learning among the students. There is a lot of promising energy behind innovation in public education today. Any innovation in education sector, be it in student assessment, curriculum design, use of technology, content organization or approaches to learning, aims at promotion or advancement of learning. Therefore, knowledge of emerging theories of learning and pedagogies created from them, is a pre-requisite while designing innovations, particularly pedagogical innovations.

En este artículo se analiza si existe relación entre el enfoque de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico de los alumnos, mediando como variable independiente el empleo de WEbCT. Se realiza en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación (ETSIE), de la Universidad de Sevilla, sobre una muestra de 176 alumnos. En función de las necesidades del análisis estadístico se recurrirá a la t de student, t de Welch, U de Mann-Whitney, ANOVA (F de Snedecor o F de Welch) o la prueba de Kruskal-Wallis. Los resultados obtenidos indican que no existe correlación entre el enfoque y el rendimiento académico, con docencia mediada por plataforma educativa. This article analyzes the correlation between the learning approach and the academic performance of students, the use of WebCT is an independent variable. The study is done in the Building Engineering School (ETSIE) at the University of Seville, the sample size is 176 students. Depending on the statistical analysis the t test, Welch's t, Mann-Whitney, ANOVA (F of Snedecor or Welch F) or Kruskal-Wallis test are used. The results do not indicate a correlation between the learning approach and the academic performance, the teaching methodology includes a virtual learning platform.

This study examined the effectiveness of educational methods-Learning by Using Active Methods-on improving the student's learning efficiency. We deal with less homogeneous university classes since a part of our students are teenagers coming from high schools and a part are of different ages coming from the educational system. Therefore to understand students as learners and to improve their abilities as learner are required. Our study tried to emphasize how students perform in each practice of a knowledge component. We try to find optimal learning methods by using different strategies, in order to improve students' learning efficiency. With a control group design, we analyzed the learning performance of Study programme Primary and Preschool Pedagogy students participating in the Optimized Learning Teaching study. Results were compared to students participating in traditional learning without using modern methods. Analyses indicated that students in the optimized condition are more interested in study and their motivation grows. There was significant difference in the learning performance of the two groups in either an immediate post test or a two-week-later retention test.

It is tried to improve education by underlying reform endeavors in the whole world. But in these endeavors, a problem of becoming meaningless is experienced. Because it attracts attentions that most endeavors performed for education as usage of technology, standardization, accreditatio n were discussed, learned, implemented in different significations previously. In this article, implementations become a current issue under the title of reforming education will be discussed. Dialectic discussions revealed in this article can be useful to mirror to the steps especially mentioned under the title of reform in education recently. In this context, wrongs will be tried to be found out within corrects and corrects within wrongs by discussing educational models and thoughts at the dialectic point of view. Thoughts having characteristics of thesis and antithesis presented in this article can make contribution to approaching projects perceived as exaggerated projects for education from a critical view point.

Graduates who are deemed to be knowledgeable, marketable, equipped with problem solving and critical thinking skills are what most universities aspire to produce. This kind of graduates are considered an asset to any organisation and are in constant demand because they are equipped with hard skills as well as soft skills. Thus, educators are constantly striving to find effective teaching strategies that encourage meaningful learning among their students. In order to make the process of learning more efficient, interesting and engaging for the students a majority of educators are constantly aiming to innovate and thus improve their teaching techniques. Unfortunately most students' emphasis is less on the real learning process, which is to actually understand what they are learning and applying the knowledge they have gained later in life, but more on rote learning. This leads us to question whether the students' learning approach has any bearing on their academic achievement. Therefore, the influence of two different learning approaches which are, deep approach and surface approach, on students' academic achievement among the final year students in UiTM (Perak) will be investigated in an empirical study. The objectives of this research include, 1) to identify the level of academic achievement for final year students'; 2) to determine the final year students' learning approaches; and 3) to investigate the correlation between students' learning approaches and their academic achievement. The method that will be used is the Student's Process Questionnaire (SPQ) by . The SPQ contains 20 items which include 10 items focussing on Deep Approach while the other 10 items focus on Surface Approach. The SPQ will be distributed to the students in UiTM (Perak) from FSPU, FSKM, FSSR and FP to obtain the data needed for this research. Data from the questionnaire survey will be analysed quantitatively using descriptive statistics involving frequency and percentage distribution and also Pearson Correlation analysis by using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).

In this transforming universe, the whole ball of wax, materialistic and non-materialistic, is changing their original forms. The attitude of the human beings is also changed. Attitude is one of the aspects of identifying people by observing the behavior, action, and the way of looking the things in a different way. Every human being has their own point of view towards any person, thing, and event. Like that teachers also have the different viewpoints regarding any noun. There are standard changes seen in teaching-learning process, the ideal change from the traditional classroom teaching to modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based teaching. For joyful learning, effective teaching, and to achieve the set objectives there are vivid innovative ideas are adopted. The teacher educators use those practices to teach students in teacher education institutions to produce competent, skilled, efficient, and proficient teachers. Role play, team teaching, individualized learning, mobile learning, flipped learning, blended learning etc. are some of the examples of innovative practices. But there are various factors that constitute problems in implementing these new ideas. It is very much needed to overcome from all these problems and issues and keep going with the emerging trends in the field of education.

Education is our hope for a better future. As the Nobel Prize winner, Nelson Mandela said: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." It is the best-known instrument for promoting human rights, democracy, reducing poverty and creating a mindful social evolution. No human being can lead a dignified life and build its own identity without education. In today's knowledge economies, it is a new currency for economic competitiveness, peace and prosperity. We live in the era of globalization and technology which is significantly transforming all aspects of our lives. However, the education as the most remarkable technology invented by man lags behind the modern technologies. New inventions emerge every day and instead of being a partner of these inventions, education remains static and modeled on decades' old approach. A new paradigm in education is highly needed for addressing the rapid changes and pressing challenges humanity face nowadays. Education should not be part of the problem with these positive changes. It should not continue relying on the traditional model of teaching by simply memorizing the facts when the everyday smart phones provide direct access to a mountain of information.
