Breaking paradigms in education

I have no doubt that it has also been a process at an educational level, implementing technology has been a challenge in recent years. Topics like social media, communication and advertising blitz, Applications, images, contents, knowledge, etc. have made classrooms something much more dynamic than just textbooks, making learning more relaxed using different devices to achieve the goal.

Teaching, which consists of transmitting knowledge to others, is a noble activity with the firm purpose of leaving a mark on children., love for studying and giving them a clearer idea of ​​their past, their present and expand their vision to the future, but the internet has become a new dictionary that gives them the opportunity to learn to search from another perspective and has changed habits of both teachers and students..

When we talk about paradigms, it is related to the formal form or scheme of an organization or as a set of theories that were or are functional at a certain time., assuming truths and some being questioned by the different reasoning of each student and teacher.

For the same reason, with this radical change in education there are truths that have been modified or true but from different points of view., Likewise, they can be applied in students according to the needs of each one..

Paradigms come to break, not because of a matter of rebellion but of evolution, Well, we must remember that learning is conditioned by society., to the environment and environment in which we develop, the values, customs and forms of education do not exactly vary from one country to another, It can be from one colony to another, from a school with a different system than the one next to.

Each social group interprets, search, applies and transmits knowledge in a different way but with the same objective: make the student grow, However, some challenges are that uncomfortable situations may arise due to traditional differences., cultural and moral of each sector.

Efforts in the classrooms, teachers and students are great, and even more so when the generation has changed, Today children have greater freedom of expression than in previous decades, Therefore, they are also allowed to transmit their points of view to teachers and make education more inclusive by learning from each other., continually improving and improving.

It is not really about “the ducks shooting at the guns” but about enriching the passage through the classrooms and educating for future and daily life..

Today children take more risks, They question more and test the tools they have, even what a textbook says, creating a more personal concept of knowledge.

When you are a student you become an apprentice, but today they refuse to be “old school” where they memorized everything without questioning what their judgment and intelligence told them., It is no longer only the grades that count but the application of each subject in your daily life. That's breaking a paradigm..

Study houses have been gradually modifying their paradigms and systems in order to adapt to the new generations that have been born with technology., the opening, communication and inclusion “under the arm”. Understanding that the web is a new learning option, which can be free and supervised in the same way by teachers as when you read a book, only now the medium changes. There is knowledge that will never change, theories that have marked history throughout the centuries, but with the new challenge of cyber competition, transforming the reality of teaching and the transmission of knowledge in a completely new world, very different from our parents, opening the habit of new avenues of research.

As incredible as it may seem, There are some teachers who still refuse to use information technologies in the classroom, and this is perhaps due to the fear of facing new forms of learning and evaluation with platforms like Moodle, for example., using only the support materials but not taking it seriously as a tool for sending and receiving assignments as well as some other activities that can be part of the bimonthly educational program, or annually as applicable.

Maybe because badly or at the beginning of all this boom, technology was related more to fun than to education, But to break this paradigm it is necessary to make the most of the situation by creating content that is available to students and that helps them carry out their daily tasks and analysis., as well as creating a healthy discussion forum, leading to interesting debates on the topics seen in class and even commenting on what was discussed in the forum, This idea sounds very fun, As a student, it would seem that way to me..

With technology nothing is written, and I like the quote from Antonio Machado's poem, which I think applies perfectly to the situation “Walker, there is no path.”, "The path is made by walking".
