EDUCATION
What do you think schools will be like in 20 years?
I think that in 20 years from now the structure and routines of school will be similar to what they are now. We may see some tweaks in its routine with the advancement of knowledge. For example, in elementary schools, there is now what is called 2 nutrition breaks, as opposed to the older two, fifteen-minute recesses and a forty minute lunch. This change was made when society noticed that it is healthier for any person to eat 2 smaller portioned meals, rather than indulging in one larger lunch. I believe that minor changes such as these will take place within the next 20 years., simply because society will become more knowledgeable in aspects of life, which will call for minor changes in the school system.
It is hard for me to know what schools will be like in 20 years, because 20 years ago the school experience was completely different then now. I think that every single class room will be equipped with a full computer lab, and SMART board, along with the newest form of technology. I also think that there will be much more stress on practical world things, more of a collage type focus.
I hope our schools will begin to embrace technology they way many other fields are. I hope to see better use of computers and online tools. While I believe books are vital to schooling, I think Ipads can be utilized to replace textbooks and provide an electronic solution to outdated books(as they can be updated with new versions constantly). I believe that smart boards should be placed in every classroom as well as a computer lab large enough to accommodate every student in a class. My belief is that with a growing technological society if education does not adapt we will be unable to fully utilize the advantages these technologies offer.
I believe that technology will be fully integrated into student learning. Each student will likely stop carrying books or writing supplies, but rather a computer or personal device (tablet, PDA, or similar). The curriculum will not change too drastically, but language will include more of a focus on media literacy in the intermediate/senior grades. Ultimately, the structure of schools will not be altered fundamentally, but there will be several adaptations in order to deal with the changing job market, economy, and technological advances.
One thing I see changing is the development of a seamless method for having guest teachers who have real-world professional experience. Getting education to be an educator is commendable. However, we must make it astonishingly easy and fun for professionals to set foot in classrooms, even for one high-school or college lecture at a time, and impart their real-world knowledge to students.
Schools will be like activity centers for all.Everyone will have a free access to these centers.No registration,no charges,no specific timings.Do something and learn yourself.
Technology will be around, there's no way out anymore. Teachers and students will be cooperating, real time, from every corner around the world. Can't affirm this will be 100% real, yet, from what I have seen so far, a great amount of the learning process won't need a physical classroom anymore.
The way things are going everything will be based around technology.
One thing we can say for certain is that long-distance studies will become the norm. Technical implementation is relatively easy, and it's much cheaper than having to attend school.
However, we don't believe that student exchanges will disappear completely: quite the contrary, there will be more and more applications for certain high-quality countries such as Switzerland and Finland. As we can see in some industrialized countries, the private sector is growing, while public schools aren't receiving sufficient funding to develop their activities. |
