Modern Trends In Education: 50 Different Approaches To Learning

Education sprouts in many forms.

Our views of what it should look like and how it should materialize depend on our
value of it and our experience with it.

What if a class consisted of words that led to information that whirled into blended
realms of creativity set up just for students, created by students? The students then
dictated what they learned instead of reluctantly ingesting information and
standards imposed upon them.

That exists here and now. In every nook and cranny, around every corner, inside
every well-engineered lesson, students might just learn what they want to learn and
actually find success while improving the world around them.

Take a tour of different views of education that somehow find a similar note:
Education is changing and there may certain things every classroom should have.

PART 1

Modern Trends In Education: Different Approaches To Learning

1. Ground Up Diversity-Ms. Adawi

The late Sir Ken Robinson campaigned for changing education through talks, writing,
advising, and teaching. He believes education must change because it’s a stale
environment in which most students don’t really learn what they should or want to
learn. How that happens makes all the difference—from the ground up. People,
students, and teachers create the change, not the administrators or the executive

2. Competency-Based Learning-Ms. Balayong

Competency-based learning is an approach to education that focuses on the

student’s demonstration of desired learning outcomes.

3. . Underground Education-Ms. Buquing

According to John Taylor Gatto, teachers should choose the real world over the
classroom. Students don’t learn to live or survive in a classroom. They learn to
survive in the real world so the concept of underground education challenges
educators in any walk of life to give students the tools with which to live and breathe
in the world around them. If the lesson must be taught, then teach it thinking of who
they might become.

4. . Social Status-Ms. Ms. Cabalo

Even more significant to learning than being an asset, social status plays an

underlying role in the education of a small or large group of people whether it’s an
entire country’s agenda or certain sections or communities within that country. In
other words, if that community puts importance on education as a social benefit,
students and people in that community will strive to achieve it in order to raise their
status in the community.

5. Lesson Study-Ms. Cadias

Originating in Japan, lesson study applies to style of teaching. Conceptually, lesson

study promotes the idea that teachers constantly improve and change their style of
teaching based on students’ performance and reaction to it. It sounds like what we
already do but not exactly. Collaboration between teachers is paramount and so is
change. Combining these two factors with constant change means students never
stop learning.

6. Constructive Struggling-Ms. Castillo

Another Japanese form of teaching is to allow students to struggle through a lesson

with guidance from their teacher. In other words, the student shouldn’t be
embarrassed about failing the first time around, not even the second or third time.
The instructor should actually encourage students to learn from that failure.

7.. School in the Clouds-Ms. De Guzman

After experimenting with a computer in a wall where poor children basically found a
way to learn without a teacher, Sugata Mitra won the Ted Prize of $1 million in 2013.
He wrote an ebook named Beyond the Hole in the Wall offering an ideal for education
based on a very real premise that students learn no matter what social status or
economic background. They simply need the tools with which to do so.

8. Problem-Based Learning-Ms. Flores

In regards to tertiary education, problem-based learning is gaining popularity in

Australia. Students are given a real-world problem then they work together to find a
solution to this. In Australia, nursing programs have begun to embrace this style of
teaching and learning because it challenges the students to work as if they’re
dealing with real problems they’ll encounter in the workplace. Teachers find it
invaluable because students learn more with this method.

9. Constructivist Learning-Ma. Fontanilla

According to Dimitrios Thanasoulas of Greece with relation to philosopher

Giambattista Vico, humans only understand what they construct. This concept runs
on the idea that students create their own learning environments, actively
participating in the knowledge they ingest. Creating your own learning involves
making mistakes with no preset agenda in place. Constructive learning is not stable
so many educational systems reject it.

10. Asynchronous Learning Hubs-Ms. Gurtiza

Whether through videos, cohorts, online courses, playlists, live streaming, or other
approaches, the future of learning will likely be at least partly asynchronous.

11. Competency-Based Education-Ms. Hate

Competency-based education says that regardless of the length of time it takes for a

student to complete a course, the student completes it based on what they know
already. The only factor in determining how or when the student completes the
course is the mastery of knowledge within the subject.

12. Place-Based Learning-Mr. Macaso

Place-Based Education “immerses students in local heritage, cultures, landscapes,

opportunities, and experiences, uses these as a foundation for the study of language
arts, mathematics, social studies, science and other subjects across the curriculum,
and emphasizes learning through participation in service projects for the local
school and/or community.” (citation needed)

13. Open Innovation-Ms. Nidal

Open innovation promotes the idea of competition. In the business world this means
opening up platforms for companies in the form of contests. In higher education, this
means bringing together various institutions for competitions locally and globally. It
means not confining it to only a select few but opening up to as many contestants as
possible.
14. Change Agents- Ms. Rivera

Elevating the teacher as the key to changing the groaning educational

system, change agents are teachers who not only embrace the notion of change but
simply make change happen. They don’t wait for a law to pass or a standard to take
effect, they just take the initiative to ensure students learn no matter what the
circumstances or limitations.
