Knowledge Building: Theory, Pedagogy, and Technology

Deep learning and knowledge advances are similar. In the 60’s learning by discovery, guided learning, inquiry learning, and process approach were exploited. Today new knowledge of knowledge is about creating knowledge for a knowledge creating society. The transmission of knowledge to the learner is over. Today’s students are knowledge builders who improve ideas, have knowledge about not knowledge of. They build a community of knowledge, and understanding and acknowledged for their contributions. Their new knowledge feeds newer knowledge that generates ideas. New ideas are easy to generate but a sustained effort to improve ideas is more difficult. Today’s fixed curriculum in traditional classrooms deters the quest for knowledge. Knowledge building classrooms are the opposite; they encourage the quest for knowledge. Theories and models explore and interpret data, but are sometime just observations written down.
