What Connectivism Is

Connectivism and its Critics: What Connectivism Is Not Posted to the CCK08 Blog, September 10, 2008. There are some arguments that argue, essentially, that the model we are demonstrating here would not work in a traditional academic environment. - Lemire These arguments, it seems to me, are circular. Yes, we know that in schools and universities students are led through a formalized and designed instructional process. But none of this proves that the current practice is *better* that what is being described and demonstrated here. Right now we are engaged in the process of defining what connectivism is. George Siemens offers a useful chart comparing Connectivism with some other theories. From this, we can see that, according to connectivism: - learning occurs as a distributed process in a network, based on recognizing and interpreting patterns - the learning process is influenced by the diversity of the network, strength of the ties We are prepared to engage in such discussions.

Conectivismo El conectivismo es la combinación del constructivismo y el cognitivismo para el nuevo aprendizaje digital de esta era digital y globalizante. Llamada la teoría del aprendizaje para la era digital, se trata de explicar el aprendizaje complejo y no como una actividad individual en un mundo social digital en rápida evolución. En nuestro mundo tecnológico y en red, los educadores deben considerar la obra de los pensadores como Siemens y Downes. Esta teoría es conducida por el entendimiento de que las decisiones están basadas en la transformación acelerada de las bases. "Saber cómo y saber qué están siendo complementados con saber dónde (la comprensión de dónde encontrar el conocimiento requerido)"[1]​ El punto de inicio del conectismo es el individuo. Una contribución muy importante fue adicionar un nuevo tipo de conocimiento, el conocimiento distribuido, a los ya conocidos conocimientos cualitativos y cuantitativos.

Connectivism: A learning theory for the digital age Editor’s Note: This is a milestone article that deserves careful study. Connectivism should not be con fused with constructivism. George Siemens advances a theory of learning that is consistent with the needs of the twenty first century. George Siemens Introduction Behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism are the three broad learning theories most often utilized in the creation of instructional environments. Learners as little as forty years ago would complete the required schooling and enter a career that would often last a lifetime. “One of the most persuasive factors is the shrinking half-life of knowledge. Some significant trends in learning: Many learners will move into a variety of different, possibly unrelated fields over the course of their lifetime. Background Driscoll (2000) defines learning as “a persisting change in human performance or performance potential…[which] must come about as a result of the learner’s experience and interaction with the world” (p.11).

MyPLN Siemens interview on connectivism « Rick's Café Canadien Posted by: Richard Schwier | August 15, 2008 George Siemens joined me for an interview about Connectivism, a theory about learning that draws on network theory, social networking, and social constructivism among other things. This interview discusses what connectivism is and where it came from, as well as its unique features and applications to education. I was producing this for my class on Historical and Theoretical Foundations of Educational Technology, but I know it deserves a much wider audience. Don’t be distracted by the 30 seconds when I moved the video out of the screen capture space. Like this: Like Loading...
