Week 13, blogpost by the Translator, Ebru

Hello everyone !

This week I am the translator and here are 5 most important concepts that we have learnt this week.

Twenty first century skills:  include creativity and innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, 

collaboration and communication.

Learning organizations : is an organization skilled in creating, acquiring, interpreting, transferring and retaining knowledge and at purposefully modifying its behavior to reflect new knowledge and insights ,increasing the learning capacity to reach a state of continuous change or transformation. A learning organization as a place that is:  Schools as Learning Communities asssociated with a core set of conditions and processes that support the ability of an organization to value, acquire, and use information and tacit knowledge acquired from employees and stakeholders to successfully plan, implement, and evaluate strategies to achieve performance goals.

Professional learning communities (PLC):  a growing practice in schools that incorporates many of the components of a learning organization centered on collaboration and team learning. 

Technology’s Impact on Learning Practices: Revolutions in technology enable learners to access what they want to know, when they want to know it, in the way in which they would like to learn it—deepening our reliance on informal learning approaches.

Informal learning:

Informal and incidental learning strategies, mediated by technology, that enable organizations to target learning to individual needs without the abstractness or complexities of fixed time, fixed place, trainer. Informal learning happens throughout people’s lives in a highly personalized manner based on their particular needs, interests, and past experiences. This type of multi-faceted learning is voluntary, self-directed, and often mediated within a social context. It provides an experiential base and motivation for further activity and subsequent learning.

These are the concepts that are worth to know and also we made relationship with the Complexity Theory with these concepts; Complex Context, Emerging Knowledge, Diversity and Redundancy, Randomleness & Determinism, Change & Complexity.

That's end for this week. 

Have a nice weekend !!!
