Modern adult education is one in which the educator does not have the "one right" role and the only effective method of education. In return, as a trainer, facilitator or moderator, he uses the personal interests, experience and internal motivation of adults to learn.
By creating a positive and supportive IT learning environment, it motivates an adult trainee to learn independently, inspires and strengthens learning processes.
The learner/trainee, thanks to such activities of the educator, independently manages the process of learning and development, strengthens self-esteem, and therefore self-esteem.
Technology has begun to impose itself in all aspects of life, one of the most important of these is the social aspect
Hi!
Interesting question.
Earlier the teacher had his or her students within reach for oral communication in a classroom. The students did not normally interact with other than teacher and peers during class time. That is what for the teacher appeared as his or her class to teach, the learners within reach, which he used for constructing collaboration in best cases. The social qualities of interaction varied a lot - we seem to only remember the nice and ideal parts when comparing to ICT-enabled learning communication.
Today the friction of information is very low indeed, it flows through classroom walls without problems. But it creates problems for the teacher that want absolute attention. But in some cases, the teacher may not deserve this absolute attention - and students do their facebooking, listen to other teachers on the same subject on youtube or communicate with students or experts in another country - from the classroom, when a lecture is ongoing. This is a conflict - classroom does not obstruct information flows as before. On the other side, if students and teacher use these new possibilities, they can be on another level of learning communication. What says that your peers sitting physically close to you are the most important ones in your life or for learning this module? And it is clearly unlikely that the teacher is the best one to explain x to you with a student with his/her special conditions.
Adults are unique in how they learn and hence the process of using ICT in adult education needs to integrate such uniqueness and provide latitude in how an adult is able to interact with others using dvierse ICT platforms.
ICT is used for social integration in many ways. The internet and online itself is a form of Information Communication Technology. Social media make us aware of our culture. It has continuously been hybridizing our culture through various process - renewal, assimilation, erase, enculturation and interculturation. Secondly, growing utilization of visual platform such as Vlog, YouTube and other platform have been growing. A large number of young people are integrating in these platforms. Finally, some of the social media platform are creating virtual platform of volunteerism, advocacy campaigns, fundraising, activism and information dissemination. The concept of smart cities itself is a larger utilization of ICT tools for social integration - economically, politically, socially, culturally and in all the other aspects. Education institutions and their ways of ICT utilization for research and teaching learning purposes can also be taken as example. More than that, social integration is evident in growing ICT based jobs. In this age, almost all the jobs nationally or internationally have embraced ICT. Many more we can find.
I think,
the best ICT- based solutions for social integration in Adult education, the use of tools to generate game-based learning materials are seldom implemented in Massive Open Online Course platforms.
