#cck11: Connectivism and Social Constructivism - what's the difference? | Life through ... - 3 views

  •  
    Blog by Lindsay Jordan

    So what distinguishes a connectivist perspective from social constructivism? The difference is fairly subtle. As far as I can see, connectivism resonates with similar principles as social constructivism does, but acknowledges a greater degree of complexity in the nature of knowledge and learning, enabled by advances in technology.

#CCK11 Why Connectivism - and social networks are important? | Suifaijohnmak's Weblog - 2 views

  • Connectivism could benefit
  • all other learners who would like to develop higher order learning skills in their life-long learning journeys.
  • As most adult learners could be confused by the complexity of learning whilst immersed in learning networks (internet and webs), especially if they are exposed to such learning environment as “novice”, some would doubt about their perceived “digital migrant” status,

Connectivism: Why faculty don't have to be quite so concerned about Wikipedia #CCK11 - ... - 1 views

  • There are two goals supported in the connectivism learning theory, according to Downes:  The ability to grow and foster a network of connections.  The ability to develop a successful, robust, trustworthy network.
  • That makes what Siemens calls the “know-where” knowledge (“the understanding of where to find [needed] knowledge”)  much more important than “know-how” and “know-what.”
  • perhaps it is time for us to begin contributing to Wikipedia and adding links to those sources we wish our students would also visit in a quest to solve problems and expand their learning.
  •  
    As I begin a class on a learning theory referred to as Connectivism, I consider how greatly our collective abilities to access to information have transformed in recent years, while our teaching methods in the university environment have barely changed at all.

  • At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse these networks

  • my undergraduate students seem to intuitively get the idea behind the power of networks
  • perhaps not that they fully realize just how interconnected we all are.
  • they don’t seem to have any idea what they might do to find and foster connections beyond those that were established for them
