Growth in Learners

Do you think students need room to grow? I mean in their cognitive and affective domain.

I will explain why this course of action should be embraced and not stifled. 

First and foremost, today, parents and teachers want learners to learn fast, and relate new learning to old. The ability to learn and determination to continue learning are primary educational qualifications. It is worthless to allow learners do the same things over and over or be in the same thinking corner. Allowing them to learn from their peer’s personal experience is crucial. Why? So that, they can relate it to their own, Teachers know they learn by everything they see or do.

According to Pew Research Center, twenty-four percent of teens lack dependable internet connection. This prevents them from completing their homework. Well, this is a problem, particularly among less affluent.

This finding is taken from a broader U.S statistics. One in four lower income teens do not have access to a home computer.

Research evidence shows that students who lack in access to digital technology are more likely to fail and fall behind more connected peers.

This digital divide will not allow learners to grow in all three domains of education, cognitive and affective domain.

So, what is required?

It demands a short leap. Also, it’s never too late or too easy to put into practice the learning they come by.

Freedom of action toward accomplishment is the first prerequisite for growth. This freedom permits them to engage in self-measurement of their performance and self-correction of obstacles between their performance and accomplishment.

If educations and government can seal the digital divide gap, I believe as doers, they will get things done in their own way. A servile compliance to traditional methods of doing homework prohibits their growth in digital technology.

It is important to create an environment for learners to start low without frustrating them. Allow them to learn, as they go!

Encouraging digital readiness and literacy will initiate creative thinking. Most important, raise their digital literacy.
