Background
Theoretical Framework
Emerging Paradigm - Education
Instructional ParadigmTraditional
Self-Directed ParadigmEmerging
Knowledge Transfer from faculty to students Jointly constructed by students and faculty
StudentsPassive vessel to be filled by
faculty’s knowledgeActive constructor, discoverer, transformer of own knowledge
Faculty Purpose Classify and sort students Develop students competencies and talents
RelationshipsImpersonal relationships among
students and between faculty and students
Personal transactions among students and between faculty and students
Context Competitive and individualisticCollaborative learning involving
teams and faculty
Assumptions Any expert can teachTeaching is complex and requires
considerable training
In higher education the focus has been on content and the delivery of this
content to the student. Adopting this new paradigm would see us
harnessing the collective intelligence of our students to continually
improve the student experience through a more intensive interaction in
the educational process. This represents a far more complex environment
than is presently in place. Students would be viewed not as receptacles
for information but as an integral element of the educational process. In
fact, to adopt this approach is to make students an essential part of the
educational process in ways that blur the boundaries between our
traditional conceptions of teaching and learning.
