Learning cultures are complex spaces that necessitate thinking and planning. Often when we begin working to encourage big skills and processes in students there is a need to overhaul, redesign, or at the very least rethink the learning culture. The more work that is done to support students as knowledge constructors, the more accessible, supportive, well configured, and digital the learning environments need to become. As you continue to work through the pathways try to keep track of ways that your learning culture supports and/or discourages active and purposeful knowledge construction by your students. As research and practice have continued to suggest that ability of the learning culture to detract from underlying instructional goals is real.
The big questions that you will need to attend to are:
• How is your learning culture promoting or distracting your students from being purposeful knowledge seekers in a digital world?
• How is my learning culture modeling and supporting knowledge construction as an active student owned process?
• What can I do improve my learning culture to further support the development of students as knowledge constructors? -
