Education is undergoing constant change, where it is essential to embrace emerging methodologies that allow adaptation to this shift and ensure quality education for students.
At Additio App, we are aware of the importance of staying updated on emerging methodology trends. That’s why we bring you a post addressing some of the methodologies you need to be aware of and that will be discussed in the coming years.
Are you ready to explore them? Keep reading!
1. Personalized learning and focus on inclusion
In the current academic and educational environment, there is an increasing focus on the individual needs of students, ensuring that everyone can enjoy meaningful learning. Thus, there are some emerging methodologies aimed at assisting in this endeavor. The emphasis on student diversity allows for a genuine commitment to inclusion, where content is tailored to accommodate various needs.
We are talking about providing personalized learning based on these needs. Often, this personalized learning is supported by educational technologies designed to facilitate student integration.
For example, at Additio App, we assist you in customizing teaching and focusing on student inclusion through the “Attention to Diversity ” section you’ll find when creating your teaching units. With this functionality, you can precisely indicate how you will adapt the content of your teaching to different educational realities among your students. Remember that with the Additio Starter plan, you can try Additio App completely free of charge, so you have no excuse not to give it a try!
2. Artificial intelligence in the classroom
Another of the emerging methodologies to highlight is the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom, as well as the provision of knowledge about its correct use and ethical implications in students.
There is no doubt that artificial intelligence is one of the most talked about topics in recent times, in all areas, and education could not be any less.Since the appearance of tools like ChatGPT and Dall-e, there are many students and teachers who trust in the numerous advantages that artificial intelligence offers in teaching (although we cannot ignore the negative implications it has).
What will the future of artificial intelligence in the educational field be like? Will the use of tools that use AI to improve teaching be implemented globally, or will its use be reduced due to the disadvantages and dangers it entails? Time will tell us.
3. Social and emotional education
Something that characterizes the ever-changing landscape in the world of education is the growing importance of socio-emotional skills. That’s why one of the emerging methodologies today is social and emotional values education, aiming to build a future generation that is emotionally responsible.
Teaching students about empathy, self-awareness, and emotional self-regulation ensures the well-being of both oneself and others. This enhances interpersonal relationships, fosters emotional awareness, and develops life skills.
A good approach to addressing social and emotional education in the classroom is to integrate its teaching into the regular dynamics of any subject. Social and emotional education provides a wide range of possibilities, allowing this emerging methodology to be incorporated into any subject.
4. Discovery learning
Discovery learning has gained significant importance in recent times as it places students at the center of the learning process. In this methodology, students achieve their own learning and acquire the necessary knowledge through investigations and explorations.
Therefore, the aim is to foster students’ critical thinking by challenging them to find solutions to the obstacles they encounter. Additionally, among the advantages of discovery learning is the fact that knowledge is more enduring (as it is not about memorizing concepts but understanding them) and it also promotes intrinsic motivation in students.
If you believe that discovery learning could be suitable for your subject, we encourage you to create your teaching units and projects considering its implications, developing activities in which students have to construct their own learning.
Were you already using any of these emerging methodologies?
Surely you had already heard about these emerging methodologies, especially the one related to artificial intelligence, since it is the topic of the moment. Still, we want to ask you: did you already use any of these methodologies? Tell us how it went on our social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
See you soon! 🙂
