Description

Technology will undoubtedly shape the future of schooling. For the new generation of learners and educators, the new teaching methods that emerged in the aftermath of the epidemic have shown to be beneficial. It’s now a matter of obtaining mental space in the form of excellent lesson recall, thanks to an education that fits in the palms of a student’s hands. In the months since the abrupt move to digital schooling, some interesting themes have emerged. In this article, we’ll look at a few of them.

Personalized and paced learning

Even though most school disciplines are designed to improve a student’s abilities, the path to success varies from student to student. We are all familiar with situations in which some students absorb topics faster than others and vice versa in a typical classroom setting. All students will be able to customize their learning experience with challenges depending on their ability levels utilising current learning technologies, without disrupting their peers or educators. Students may easily embrace this personalization and pace of learning approaches, which will help them acquire confidence via further practice and learning techniques. Students also have the option of employing various gadgets for studying in addition to the strategies.

Unified learning experiences

College interviews, progress cards, mark sheets, and inperson group talks. This is how a student’s academic path ended. It is now feasible to create a study path from elementary school through college using technology. Students may carefully examine the subject they wish to follow after school because all information on tests, entry criteria, and college specifics is consolidated. The availability of such information to potential college recruiters also assists them in making educated decisions about student intake and admissions. Platforms like Ken42 allow universities to construct their education architecture and modify it to meet the needs of their students and teachers. This trend of freely accessible information in the form of a single platform to access any student information throughout their academic pathways is revolutionary and inconceivable prior to the outbreak.

Vocational learning

Another developing trend in education is the emphasis on delivering vocation-based education and practises, thanks to the New Education Policy of 2020. Because today’s career prospects are adjusting to a vast digital audience and remote-work settings, students will need to develop a projectbased learning attitude in order to fit into the new stream of occupations. To develop their skill sets, individuals must be given practical solutions that they can apply to various difficulties. Institutions have been trying to bring in industry leaders and subject matter experts to train learners on these areas and provide them with a well-rounded education since the mission of the education policy. Soft qualities such as teamwork, time management, and organizational abilities can also assist pupils succeed academically.

Usage of deep technology

To meet the evolving demands of digital learners, several innovative learning methodologies have been devised. One of the developing trends for 2021 is gamification using augmented and virtual reality technologies. Courses built around these technologies tap on students’ natural desire to study and build actual skills outside of the classroom. Lesson concepts are kept better through involvement with the student, which transforms them into an active learner over time with proper utilisation.

Social and emotional learning

The process of acquiring self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are necessary for school, career, and life success is known as social-emotional learning (SEL). Because of the pandemic’s consequences on children’s social and emotional life, there is a greater emphasis on this component of learning in today’s school curriculum. Educators prioritise aligning learning goals with social and emotional learning advantages, and the presentation of such learning opportunities promotes the educational institution among parents and higher education students.

Remote assessments

To measure gained knowledge and skill sets, experience-based assessments will be employed. The present educational trends and concerns centre on improving lesson retention and reducing assessment bias by using modern testing procedures that provide examiners with a near-accurate picture of progress. Educators will use application-based assessment strategies to assess critical thinking.
