TITLE: IMPACT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGIES AND NEW LEARNING SYSTEM IN EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
Recently, DepEd has decided to implement modular and online learning for the learners in the country due to the current situation. It’s a new learning system for each and every learner and had many challenges along the system. The needed factors such as data, internet connection and gadgets and the efficiency of learning were challenging to achieve and had a profound impact in our daily lives especially on our financial resources wherein we have to set a budget for it. However it’s a choice for every individual to engage in the new learning system and it’s our decision to set our basis.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, so do the risks we face. The COVID-19 pandemic has not stopped at national borders. It has affected people regardless of nationality, level of education, and income. But the same has not been true for its consequences, which have hit the most vulnerable hardest. Education is no exception. Students from privileged backgrounds, supported by their parents and eager and able to learn, could find their way past closed school doors to alternative learning opportunities. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds often remained shut out when their schools shut down. This crisis has exposed the many inadequacies and inequities in our education systems from access to the computers needed for online education, and the supportive environments needed to focus on learning, up to the misalignment between resources and needs.
The lockdowns in response to COVID-19 have interrupted conventional schooling. While the educational community have made concerted efforts to maintain learning continuity during this period, children and students have had to rely more on their own resources to continue learning remotely through the internet, television or radio. Teachers also had to adapt to new pedagogical concepts and modes of delivery of teaching, for which they may not have been trained. In particular, learners in the most marginalized groups, who don’t have access to digital learning resources or lack the resilience and engagement to learn on their own, are at risk of falling behind.
On higher education as universities closed their premises and countries shut their borders in response to lockdown measures. Although higher education institutions were quick to replace face-to-face lectures with online learning, these closures affected learning and examinations as well as the safety.
Perhaps most importantly, the crisis raises questions about the value offered by a university education which includes networking and social opportunities as well as educational content. To remain relevant, universities will need to reinvent their learning environments so that digitalization expands and complements student-teacher and other relationships.
Reopening schools and universities will bring unquestionable benefits to students and the wider economy. In addition, reopening schools will bring economic benefits to families by enabling some parents to return to work. Those benefits, however, must be carefully weighed against the health risks and the requirement to mitigate the toll of the pandemic. The need for such trade-offs calls for sustained and effective co-ordination between education and public health authorities at different levels of government. Several steps can be taken to manage the risks and trade-offs, including physical distancing measures, establishing hygiene protocols, revising personnel and attendance policies, and investing in staff training on appropriate measures to cope with the virus.
However, the challenges do not end with the immediate crisis. In particular, spending on education may be compromised in the coming years. As public funds are directed to health and social welfare, long-term public spending on education is at risk despite short-term stimulus packages in some countries. Private funding will also become scarce as the economy weakens and unemployment rises.
Throughout this crisis, education systems are increasingly looking towards international policy experiences, data and analyses as they develop their policy responses. The policy responses presented in this brochure cover key measures announced or introduced before the end of June 2020.
During the pandemic, remote learning became a lifeline for education but the opportunities that digital technologies offer go well beyond a stopgap solution during a crisis. Digital technology offers entirely new answers to the question of what people learn, how they learn, and where and when they learn. Technology can enable teachers and students to access specialized materials well beyond textbooks, in multiple formats and in ways that can bridge time and space. Working alongside teachers, intelligent digital learning systems don’t just teach students science, but can simultaneously observe how they study, the kind of tasks and thinking that interest them, and the kind of problems that they find boring or difficult.
The systems can then adapt the learning experience to suit students’ personal learning styles with great granularity and precision. Similarly, virtual laboratories can give students the opportunity to design, conduct and learn from experiments, rather than just learning about them. Moreover, technology does not just change methods of teaching and learning, it can also elevate the role of teachers from imparting received knowledge towards working as co-creators of knowledge, as coaches, as mentors and as evaluators.
PURPOSE
The purpose of my campaign is to aim a new learning system that is accessible, efficient, safe and budget oriented. It’s very important to consider this things to be able to maintain the system as stable as it is. We also wanted to express our calls through this campaign because as a learners, we’ve seen the reduction of the enrollees rate for the past school year as well as today’s school year, and we think that it is because that the new learning system can’t be assessed by some learners totally.
DESCRIPTION
My campaign is to deliver my concerns regarding with the new learning system. As a students, we are in the position to express our experiences and we wanted to have immediate response probably from the responsible ones. The government should attention with the new learning system and do consider the mental health state of the learners. But we’re not ending the statement that DepEd should stop the new learning system rather they should do the possible actions for a better system.
SUPPORT
Most of the parents might think that the new learning system seems to be impractical. They spend their time, more on their children’s education and had to set a budget for the load and needed gadgets. Mental health state of the learners is also an issue that must be addressed immediately. It causes stress, trauma, lack of socializing and many more.
