Connectivism

 

Connectivism is social networked learning. The individual does not have control; rather it is a collaboration of current ideas as seen from present reality. Decisions are supported by rapidly altering fundamentals as new information are quickly integrated to create a new climate of thinking. There are 8 principles of connectivism there are Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions, Learning is a process of connecting specialized nodes or information sources, Learning may reside in non-human appliances, Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known, Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continually learning, Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill, Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivism  learning activities and Decision-making is itself a learning process, Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.

Connectivism as a Learning Theory, Connectivism is defined as the enhancement of how a student learns with the knowledge and perception gained through the addition of a personal network. Since it is impossible to experience everything, the learner can share and learn through collaboration. The little amount of data available makes it impossible for a learner to know all that is needed.

Pedagogical Approach, Connectivism presents itself as a pedagogical approach that affords learners the ability to connect to each other via social networking or collaboration tools. As information continues to evolve, its validity and accuracy change over time. The Internet affords learners access to large amounts of information. The ability to determine which information is most important becomes vital. Connectivism Learning Environment, Connectivism's focus on connections requires that learners be exposed to elements that extend beyond the classroom. This does not suggest that all curriculum be abandoned but that design of a connectivism  learning environment should "balance the needs and intent of the designer with the end-user

Technology Integration

Integration 

Integration is unification to become a roundness or become whole. Other than that Wedawaty (2001: 16) said that integration is a combination,  unification, or amalgamation of two or more objects. So, integration is the act or process of uniting different things

Technology 

In the dictionary of science, technology is defined as the application of theoretical knowledge to practical problems. In essence, technology is the application of science or other knowledge organized into practical tasks 

So, technology integration in the context of education is the use of technology tools in general content areas in education to allow students to apply computer and technology skills to learning and problem-solving. 

TPACK (Technology, Pedagogical, Content Knowledge) 

Technology knowledge is knowledge about technological standards ranging from books, chalks, and blackboards, or more sophisticated technologies such as the internet and digital videos

Pedagogical knowledge is knowledge about the process and practice or teaching-learning method.

Content knowledge is knowledge of the subjects to be studied. 

The integration of pedagogical knowledge (P), content knowledge (K), and technological knowledge (T) create Pedagogical Content Technology (KPT) knowledge.

 This knowledge: 

1. Is the basis of learning using technology.

2. Provides an understanding for displaying concepts using technology.

3. Provides an understanding of how technology involves constructive pedagogical ways to teach content.

The Internet is a combination of connected computer networks (LANs) around the world. On the other hand, the internet is also a global source of information that utilizes a collection of computer networks as a medium. The use of the internet for learning purposes which is increasingly widespread, especially in developed countries, is a fact that shows that with this medium it is possible to hold a more effective learning process. 

the internet can actually be used in school learning because it has unique characteristics,:

As an interpersonal medium as well as a mass media that enables one-to-one and one-to-many communication;

Has an interactive nature;

Allows for synchronous (real-time) or delayed asynchronous communication to enable the implementation of communication which is a prerequisite for the occurrence of a learning process;

 

 

Technology that can be used in Teaching and Learning English based my experiences

The technology that I have used in learning English is the Duolingo application, which is an application that can be used to help us learn English from the beginning of vocabulary, basic sentence structure, and so on. Then I have also used the U dictionary application, which is an application that makes it easy for us to find the translation of a word or sentence. Besides that, I also use the Teams, Google Classroom, and Edmodo applications.
