Student-Centred Learning with EdTech

SNATIKA
Published in : Education and Training . 13 Min Read . 1 year ago

The EdTech market is worth $340 billion According to statistics. In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and evolving educational paradigms, the traditional classroom is undergoing a profound transformation. Student-centred learning, a pedagogical approach that places students at the heart of their educational journeys, is gaining prominence as a means to empower learners and cultivate critical skills for the future. At the forefront of this educational revolution is the integration of Educational Technology (EdTech). This blog embarks on an exploration of the synergistic relationship between student-centred learning and EdTech, delving into how technology empowers agency and collaboration among students. As we navigate this educational landscape, we will uncover the myriad benefits, potential challenges, and inspiring success stories that highlight the immense potential of this transformative combination. Join us on this educational journey as we uncover the power of student agency and collaboration in an increasingly digital world.


Understanding Student-Centred Learning

Student-centred learning is an educational approach that fundamentally shifts the traditional teacher-centric model to one where students take an active role in their learning journey. At its core, it prioritises the individual needs, interests, and learning styles of each student. This approach is guided by several key principles:


Personalisation: Student-centred learning recognizes that no two students are alike. It tailors instruction to meet individual needs, allowing students to progress at their own pace, explore topics of personal interest, and choose how they demonstrate their understanding.


Autonomy: It promotes student agency by empowering learners to make choices about what, how, and when they learn. Students are encouraged to set goals, manage their time, and take ownership of their education.


Collaboration: While independence is important, student-centred learning also fosters collaboration. It acknowledges the significance of peer-to-peer learning and group projects, recognizing that collaboration can enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Benefits for Students

The advantages of student-centred learning for students are numerous and profound. 4 out of 5 college students say EdTech solutions helped them improve their grades according to McGraw-Hill. It enhances engagement and motivation. When students have a say in their learning process and are given opportunities to pursue their interests, they are more likely to be enthusiastic about learning. This leads to deeper comprehension and a genuine love for acquiring knowledge.


Furthermore, student-centred learning equips students with essential skills for the 21st century. These include critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and effective communication. By taking ownership of their education, students learn how to think independently, analyse information, and apply their knowledge in practical scenarios. These skills are not only beneficial for academic success but also for success in future careers and life in general.

Challenges in Implementation

Implementing student-centred learning can be challenging, as it requires a significant shift in the traditional education system. One of the main hurdles is resistance to change, both from educators and institutions. Teachers may need extensive training and support to adapt their teaching methods to a more student-centric approach. Additionally, educational institutions may face logistical challenges, such as the need for flexible schedules and technology integration.


Another challenge is assessment and accountability. Traditional standardised testing and grading systems may not align with the principles of student-centred learning, where students have varied learning paths and timelines. Finding effective ways to measure and assess individual progress and growth becomes essential but can be complex.


Moreover, there can be disparities in access to technology and resources among students, potentially exacerbating educational inequalities. Ensuring that all students have equal access to the tools and opportunities required for student-centred learning is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed.


The Power of EdTech in Education

Educational Technology, often referred to as EdTech, encompasses a vast array of digital tools, software, and resources designed to enhance the teaching and learning experience. It has evolved significantly over the years, from simple computer programs to sophisticated online platforms, virtual reality simulations, and AI-driven adaptive learning systems. EdTech aims to leverage technology to facilitate and improve education, making it more accessible, engaging, and effective for students of all ages. This includes tools for content delivery, interactive learning, assessment, and administrative tasks.

Advantages of EdTech in Student-Centred Learning

Challenge-based gamification can increase student outcomes by up to 35% as per the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies. EdTech plays a pivotal role in facilitating student-centred learning by offering several distinct advantages. It enables personalisation. EdTech tools can adapt to the unique needs and abilities of each student, providing tailored content and pacing. This personalisation fosters a deeper understanding of subjects and helps students learn at their speed, boosting their confidence and motivation.


Moreover, EdTech enhances accessibility. It breaks down geographical barriers, allowing students to access educational resources from anywhere in the world. This is particularly beneficial for learners who may be geographically isolated or have physical limitations. Additionally, it provides opportunities for asynchronous learning, accommodating diverse schedules and learning styles.

Examples of Effective EdTech Tools

Numerous EdTech tools have demonstrated their effectiveness in student-centred learning environments. For instance, Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas and Moodle provide a centralised platform for course materials, discussions, and assessments, fostering collaboration and organisation. Adaptive learning platforms such as Khan Academy and Duolingo use algorithms to tailor content to individual learners, ensuring that they receive the right level of challenge and support.


Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications offer immersive and interactive learning experiences, particularly in subjects like science and history. Tools like Google Workspace for Education facilitate real-time collaboration on documents and presentations, promoting teamwork and communication skills. Finally, formative assessment tools like Kahoot! and Quizlet engage students in self-assessment and peer learning, helping them gauge their understanding and identify areas for improvement. These examples illustrate the versatility and potential impact of EdTech in reshaping the educational landscape to better serve the needs of students in a student-centred learning context.


Empowering Student Agency with EdTech

A. Fostering Self-Directed Learning

Empowering student agency through EdTech begins with fostering self-directed learning. EdTech tools provide students with the autonomy to choose how and when they engage with educational content. For instance, online learning platforms often offer a vast library of resources, allowing students to explore topics of personal interest or revisit challenging concepts at their own pace. This independence encourages a sense of responsibility for one's learning, teaching students the vital skill of self-motivation and the ability to manage their time effectively.


Furthermore, EdTech often incorporates interactive and gamified elements that make learning engaging and enjoyable, further motivating students to take the initiative in their education. By allowing students to set their own goals, track their progress, and reflect on their learning journey, EdTech nurtures self-awareness and a growth mindset, key attributes for lifelong learning.

B. Personalised Learning Paths

EdTech excels in providing personalised learning paths tailored to individual student needs. Adaptive learning algorithms, for instance, adjust the difficulty of content based on a student's performance, ensuring that they are neither overwhelmed nor under-challenged. This level of customisation enables students to work on areas where they need improvement and accelerates through material they've mastered, maximising their learning efficiency.


Moreover, the flexibility of EdTech allows students to choose from various resources, formats, and mediums that align with their learning preferences. Whether they thrive with videos, interactive simulations, or text-based materials, EdTech accommodates diverse learning styles, making education more inclusive and effective. In essence, personalised learning paths with EdTech empower students to take charge of their education and make learning a truly individualised experience.

C. Case Studies of Student Empowerment

Several case studies showcase the transformative impact of EdTech in empowering student agency. For instance, the Khan Academy platform has empowered countless students to advance in mathematics at their own pace, with students achieving remarkable results through self-guided learning. Similarly, initiatives like "1:1 device programs" in schools, where each student is provided with a digital device, have shown improvements in student engagement and academic performance, as students have access to a wide array of digital resources to support their learning.


Additionally, the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) such as SNATIKA, Coursera, and edX has given learners around the world the opportunity to access high-quality education from prestigious institutions, further demonstrating how EdTech can democratise education and empower learners globally. These case studies underscore the notion that when used effectively, EdTech can be a powerful tool in fostering student agency and revolutionising the way students engage with and take ownership of their learning.


Enhancing Collaboration Through EdTech

87% of K-12 educators say their tech skills improved during the pandemic according to EdWeek. Educational technology (EdTech) has become a catalyst for enhancing collaboration among students in ways that were previously unimaginable. It has transformed the traditional classroom into a dynamic, interconnected space where collaboration can thrive. One of the primary ways EdTech facilitates collaboration is through virtual classrooms and online communication tools. Platforms like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom enable students to connect with peers and teachers in real-time, fostering discussions, sharing ideas, and working on group projects irrespective of physical location.


Moreover, EdTech encourages asynchronous collaboration, which means students can collaborate at their convenience. Collaborative software such as Google Docs, Padlet, and Slack allows students to collaborate on documents, brainstorm ideas, and provide feedback in a seamless online environment. This flexibility not only promotes teamwork but also prepares students for the collaborative demands of the modern workforce, where remote collaboration and communication tools are increasingly vital.
