21st Century Learners Speak Out On 21st Century Learning
Sharon Friesen, PhD/David Jardine, PhD

We want to do work that makes a difference to me and to my world.
We don’t want to remember, recall and regurgitate
We don’t want to learn for the sake of tests
We don’t want learning made easy; rather, they want it to mean something.
We want to learn with the media of our times.
We want to do work that is relevant, meaningful and authentic.
We want to be engaged intellectually
We want stronger relationships with their teachers, with each other and with their communities locally, provincially, nationally and globally
We want teachers to know how we learn, to take into account what we understand and what we misunderstand and use this knowledge as a starting place to guide our continued learning.
We want to be able to work with others in the classroom, online and in our community.
We want to be able to pick up our information anywhere, anytime
We want indepth learning.
We need feedback in time to help us learn and in time do something about it.

This literary masterpiece has the best description of the students/learners of the 21st century. They have so many conditions and aspirations with regards to their learning process. This will also help the teachers of the 21st century to be ready and bear with these conditions of the leaners.

TREATING MY STUDENTS

I treat each of my students equally, giving them a chance to take responsibility for their own learning, express themselves, and learn at their own pace. I also encourage them to do collaboratively that can promote not only teamwork, but also healthy competition. I believe my biggest innovation is giving students a chance to show their abilities and to work in collaboration in a technology-integrated and cultural learning environment. I will also consider their

    I believe that it is important for teachers to get to know their students; they should know their students are learners and people. When we know our students, we are able to take students from what they know to what they don't know. Teachers who know how their students learn can help them navigate and grow in their learning.…

    School curriculum all over the world are organized into courses centered on the traditional disciplines. It is interesting to read that the United States, while open to new courses, counts on the traditional disciplines for college admission. Nel Noddings asks the provocative question whether “it is demonstrably unfair to force students into courses they hate and deprive them of courses (or programs) better suited to their talents and interests” (2007). Should there be an alternative to traditional curriculum? The aims of the current educational system are that students will be economically successful and continue to keep the country’s economic superiority going.…

    Learning is a natural ability that is wired into many animals DNA; the way that humans should learn has been debated by the various educators because of the endless ways to teach. Teachers and parents take this matter seriously like Ralph Waldo Emerson in “From Education” and Todd Gitlin in “The Liberal Arts in an Age of Info-Glut” who created essays on education; and Billy Collins in “The History Teacher” entail for then and who wrote a poem concerned with the status of education. These people show what the importance of education is entailing what learning should and should not involve; a teacher should respect and have patience for children; a teacher should also let a child have creativity and lessons of the past.…
