Envisioning Education 3.0: The Fusion of Behavior Analysis, Learning Science and Technology

Abstract

Worldwide the explosion of digital technologies of all forms puts us in the midst of a revolution in education, across both K-12 and university environments. The use of technology-powered learning holds great promise as an efficacious and egalitarian means to help increasing numbers of people (young and old) obtain or accelerate learning and meet challenges in a changing, competitive world. This transformation in how we view and do education has been referred to as Education 3.0, due to its interactive, self-learning, and personalized nature. Features include omnipresent adaptive digital environments and experiences and the ability of programs to self-learn and precisely adjust to the individual learner. Components such as personalized learning and competency-based education share critical features with behavior analysis. This article highlights the congruence between Education 3.0 and behavior analysis, and the opportunity for behavior analysts to create change.

Taking Advantage of Students’ Passion for Apps in Sustainability and CSR Teaching

“…with digital tools (apps, videos, other technology aids, etc. ), make it possible to empower more intensive learning in sustainability issues [3,21]. From this perspective, our results suggest that it is necessary to combine both (traditional and apps) in order to modify students' sustainable behavior to a significant and successful extent.…”

“…With this approach to sustainability and CSR teaching, it seems that a combination of this type of method using new technologies and more traditional methods is needed to improve students' education and encourage their scope for learning. Mixed-application tactics, such as using "high-tech" tools (internet, software applications, monitors, and sensors) to support "low-tech" (traditional) tools, are not only possible, but also often desirable [21]. However, the use of "high-tech" tools alone would be insufficient to foster learning without the adoption of appropriate pedagogies [3].…”

“…with digital tools (apps, videos, other technology aids, etc. ), make it possible to empower a more intensive learning in sustainability issues [3,21]. In line with this, although there are numerous papers suggesting the importance of apps in learning across a range of disciplines (see Reference [22] for a review of these), there are few studies analyzing the importance of apps related to sustainability in management training [23].…”

Contribuições analítico-comportamentais para descrever o repertório de professores universitários eficazes

“…Desse ponto de vista, a Educação tem um papel estratégico na promoção de mudanças sociais. Na prática, nem sempre os objetivos educacionais são orientados por necessidades sociais e muitas pessoas ainda não têm acesso à Educação, aspectos que apenas contribuem para a manutenção do status quo e que deveriam ser alterados (Gusso, 2013;Twyman, 2014). O sucesso de uma cultura no aperfeiçoamento da Educação é parte significativa do que poderá predizer sua probabilidade de sobrevivência, motivo pelo qual os membros de uma cultura não deveriam se esquivar dessa tarefa.…”

Análisis de apreciaciones referidas a la educación personalizada correspondiente al planteamiento pedagógico de Víctor García Hoz

“…Este planteamiento condujo a desarrollar principios de acción a fin de lograr una educación integral del ser humano, trascendiendo del plan de la instrucción programada o personalizada Keller (1968) o comentado por Twyman (2014), correspondiente al enfoque pedagógico presentado en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica cuando a su vez, García Hoz proponía su planteamiento de la educación personalizada, que propugnaba no solo la diferenciación de la enseñanza, la programación detallada, la evaluación y promoción continuas, sino también la consideración de los factores humanos concernientes a la acción educativa buscando lograr la interacción adecuada de tres exigencias centrales: Lograr los objetivos de la enseñanza, posibilitar el ejercicio de la democracia a todo nivel y privilegiar lo correspondiente a la dignidad humana.…”
