This document discusses criticisms of connectivism from different perspectives. One criticism is that connectivism's focus on networks may cause learners to deny the importance of individual learning. However, it is possible to take advantage of networks while also learning individually. Another criticism is that existing learning theories are sufficient to explain how technology affects learning environments, though some believe new technologies require new theories. A third criticism is that rather than a new standalone theory, connectivism would be better as a model integrating existing theories to guide online learning design, though such a model could face contradictions.

The document discusses researchers' use and perceptions of digital technologies and web 2.0 tools. It finds that while some researchers make occasional use of these tools, frequent or intensive use is still rare. Researchers are described as risk-averse and slow to adopt new technologies. Younger researchers also tend to follow traditional publishing practices rather than experimenting with new forms of dissemination. Maintaining personal networks and interpersonal connections are highly valued among researchers over online interactions. There is a tension between the collaborative nature of many digital tools and researchers' training to carefully validate ideas before publication. A Unified Framework for Collective Systems

Grappling with ideas: divergence and convergenceStian H奪klev

What does brainstorming, workshops with sticky notes, small online group learning and big distributed networks of researchers have in common? They are all grappling with big ideas, and trying to make sense of them. This talk identifies some common principles of idea-centric learning, and brings in examples from the learning sciences literature to discuss how the design of a collaborative platform can affect the direction and quality of the discourse that happens.

This document discusses how insights from network science can help explain learner motivation for collaborative learning. It notes that network thinking is becoming more important in many fields, including education. Adopting a collaborative approach has costs, but humans tend to use strategies like direct and indirect reciprocity to encourage cooperation. Four conditions support collaborative learning: confidence, commitment, allowing for divergence, and decentralization. The role of "collaboration dynamisers" who weave networks is also important. Network analysis methods can help measure new things, reveal motivational patterns, improve support, and increase network thinking in education.Understanding knowledge network, learning and connectivism
Understanding knowledge network, learning and connectivismAlaa Al Dahdouh
油
Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism and other growing theories such as Actor-Network and Connectivism are circulating in the educational field. For each, there are allies who stand behind research evidence and consistency of observation. Meantime, those existing theories dominate the field until the background is changed or new concrete evidence proves their insufficiencies. Connectivists claim that the background or the general climate has recently changed: a new generation of researchers, connectivists propose a new way of conceiving knowledge. According to them, knowledge is a network and learning is a process of exploring this network. Other researchers find this notion either not clear or not new and probably, with no effect in the education field. This paper addresses a foggy understanding of knowledge defined as a network and the lack of resources talking about this topic. Therefore, it tries to clarify what it means to define knowledge as a network and in what way it can affect teaching and learning.PSYC706-ASSIGNMENT2-CRITICAL Reflective Paper-Print copy

This summary provides an overview of the key points from the document:
1. The document discusses the author's personal experience and perceptions of depression as a mental illness. Through studying psychology, the author gained a better understanding of depression and realized their previous views were limited.
2. Growing up, the author was surrounded by people who did not view depression as a real mental illness and thought it did not warrant treatment. There is also stigma around mental illness in South African society.
3. The document defines depression according to the DSM-5, outlining cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and other symptoms. It emphasizes that depression significantly impacts one's ability to function.Unit Seven Reflective Paper

This document discusses criticisms of the constructivist perspective in education. It outlines three main criticisms that critics have with constructivism: 1) That it is elitist and only benefits students from privileged backgrounds, 2) That dominant students can influence others in group settings, and 3) That without formal testing, teachers cannot be held accountable for student progress. The document argues against the first two criticisms, stating that student motivation and multiple factors should be considered, and dominant voices do not necessarily lead others. It acknowledges the third criticism but argues teachers still become accountable through student performance in subsequent courses.Final reflection paper

The author reflects on what they have learned through their educational technology program. They realize that effectively integrating technology into their teaching requires ongoing learning and developing their skills in content, technology, and teaching (TPACK). Looking forward, the author outlines goals to (1) adopt new teaching methods using technology, (2) integrate technology across their school, and (3) foster a culture of technology use. They acknowledge challenges but draw motivation from supporting resources like colleagues and students.PLEs for contemplation and reflection

This paper analyzes how personal learning environments (PLEs) can support both the reflective and active dimensions of learning. It introduces the theoretical model of Artefact-Actor-Networks (AAN) as a way to balance reflection and networking. An AAN connects artifacts, actors, and the relationships between them semantically. The paper proposes an architectural approach for PLEs based on AANs, with two main components: an eportfolio organizer to support reflective learning, and an eportfolio management system to build eportfolios for assessment within formal education.Theories and research e leraning uo catalonia

This document provides an introduction to communication theory. It discusses what constitutes a good theory, noting criteria like theoretical scope, appropriateness, heuristic value, validity, parsimony, and openness. A theory should generally explain phenomena broadly, make logical assumptions, suggest avenues for further research, be logically consistent and falsifiable, provide simple explanations, and allow for compatibility with other theories. The document also distinguishes theories from models, noting that models provide simplified representations of communication processes.What Is Complexity Science? A View from Different Directions.pdf

This document discusses different perspectives on complexity science and what constitutes complexity science. It identifies three main schools of thought: reductionistic complexity science which aims to uncover universal principles through mathematics; soft complexity science which views complexity concepts as useful metaphors rather than directly applicable theories; and complexity thinking which focuses on the limits of knowledge given complexity. There is no agreed upon definition of complexity or what constitutes a science of complexity due to the diverse views. The document aims to stimulate debate around complexity science and its scientific status.FRBR, Physics, And The World Wide Web

This document summarizes an instructional report from the Center for Research on Learning and Technology (CRLT) that examines Problem Based Learning (PBL) as an instructional model based on constructivist learning theory. The report outlines three key principles of constructivism: 1) understanding comes from interactions with the environment, 2) cognitive conflict stimulates learning, and 3) knowledge evolves through social processes. It then describes eight instructional principles for constructivist learning environments and provides PBL as an exemplar that aligns with these principles.2 Foundations And Definitions Of Theory Building

This document discusses the challenges of separating the creative and exegetical components of doctoral theses in creative non-fiction. It notes that Curtin University's model requires separate but complementary creative works and exegeses that answer the same research question. However, the boundaries between creative and scholarly writing are blurred in creative non-fiction. When voice and sources are similar across components, distinguishing them may rely on projecting different readers, but readership is also ambiguous. As creative non-fiction integrates both creative and critical writing, the expected split between components is difficult to apply.A Theoretical Framework for Physics Education Research Modeling Student Thin...

This document proposes a theoretical framework for modeling student thinking in physics education research. It discusses the need for such a framework to guide research and allow comparison of different models. The proposed framework analyzes cognition at two levels: a knowledge-structure level involving associations, and a control-structure level involving expectations and epistemology. Models of student thinking for each level are sketched. The goal is to encourage dialogue on theoretical issues and identify common ground among models to advance the field.Thinking about systems thinking

This document discusses conceptualizing educational technology through a sociomaterial lens. It argues that technology is often theorized as having effects on learning, but not how those effects are achieved through sociomaterial relationships. The document advocates analyzing digital literacies as situated practices that coordinate people and technologies in different ways, producing multiple realities. It provides examples analyzing how technologies shape bodies and medical understandings of conditions like atherosclerosis. The overall aim is a praxiological study of digital literacies as networked learning.Does artificial neural network support connectivisms assumptions?
Does artificial neural network support connectivisms assumptions?Alaa Al Dahdouh
油
Connectivism was presented as a learning theory for the digital age and connectivists claim that recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and, more specifically, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) support their assumptions of knowledge connectivity. Yet, very little has been done to investigate this brave allegation. Does the advancement in artificial neural network studies support connectivisms assumptions? And if yes, to what extent? This paper addresses the aforementioned question by tackling the core concepts of ANN and matching them with connectivist's assumptions. The study employed the qualitative content analysis approach where the researcher started with purposely selected and relatively small content samples in connectivism and ANN literature. The results revealed that ANN partially supports connectivisms assumptions but this does not mean that other learning theories such as behaviorism and constructivism are not supported as well. The findings enlighten our understanding of connectivism and where it may be applied.Literature Review

A Model For Developing Interdisciplinary Research Theoretical FrameworksCynthia King
油
This document provides a model for developing interdisciplinary research theoretical frameworks. It defines interdisciplinary research as research that intentionally integrates insights from multiple disciplines to get a broader understanding of a topic. The key aspects of an interdisciplinary research theoretical framework are that it purposefully identifies theories across disciplines to provide guiding perspectives. Developing such a framework requires selecting relevant theories from different disciplines and integrating them rather than keeping them separate. An example framework is provided to illustrate how theories from different disciplines can be combined into a coherent whole to guide an interdisciplinary study. Critical elements for students and researchers to consider include applying the framework throughout the entire research process and relating findings back to the framework.Lecture 6

This document summarizes a study that analyzed the social networks of scientists working in the field of agricultural innovation. The study used social network analysis techniques to examine:
- The communication and collaboration ties between scientists in the field to understand if an "invisible college" existed.
- How productive scientists were more central in the network than others based on measures like degree and density.
- How the field grew over time, with most new entrants in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including many students of the most productive scientists.
- How scientists could be grouped into distinct collaborative subgroups within the overall network based on their coauthorships and student-advisor relationships.Plagiarism final

This document provides an overview of using a critical thinking approach to teaching environmental law. It begins by establishing that critical thinking is an important skill for students to develop. The document then discusses how environmental law lends itself well to a critical thinking approach due to the evolving nature and many controversies in the field. It provides definitions of critical thinking from several scholars that emphasize evaluating arguments and examining assumptions. The document concludes by outlining how a critical thinking approach would structure an environmental law course, focusing on teaching students how to evaluate various arguments on issues rather than what to think.John hannon solt@uj v3

Gagn辿's instructional theory has been beneficial for the author's learning and career development. However, some criticisms have emerged regarding the effectiveness of Gagn辿's instructional objectives. Research has questioned their compatibility with constructivist views of learning. Studies have also found only small or no positive effects on intentional learning and negative effects on incidental learning from using objectives. Despite these results, objectives remain widely used in education.

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.APM People Interest Network Conference - Oliver Randall & David Bovis - Own Y...

Unit Eight Reflective Paper
- 1. Running Head: UNIT EIGHT 1 Unit Eight: Reflective Paper Connectivists Perspective Lauren Fowler-Carter University of Houston Clear Lake
- 2. UNIT EIGHT 2 Unit Eight: Reflective Paper Connectivists Perspective Criticisms that have been discussed about connectivism vary depending on ones perspective of the theory. Connectivism focuses on the power of networks, suggesting that learning is beneficial outside of their own self-learning. A criticism suggests that connectivism and the power of the network may begin to have a connectivist start to lose and deny the importance of the individual and the learning that occurs inside our heads (Connectivism, 2006). I do believe that this criticism is a valid suggestion of an issue towards connectivism, because this seems to be a plausible scenario that would happen to a connectivist. It is possible to take advantage of the power of the network, but also in addition, learn for one self through personal experiences. This criticism could also be tied into the connectivists personality, because naturally there are some personalities that feed off of others (i.e. networks, learning from others experiences). So I could see this type of personality potentially denying the learning that occurs in their own head. Critics, including Bill Kerr, believe that although technology does affect learning environments, existing learning theories are sufficient (Connectivism). This criticism is one that would depend on the persons perspective. Some people believe that the learning theories that have already been applied for many are sufficient, but there are others that believe the opposite. Critics also suggest that as education continuously changes and new technologies develop and become implemented, what is not needed is a new stand-alone theory for the digital age, but model that integrates the different theories to guide the design of online learning materials (Connectivism). This could be an arguable statement, because even if there was a model that integrated the different theories, basically creating a melting pot of theories, contradictions are bound to arise within the model.
