Learning System
Yesterday, during a leadership development gathering we got into a discussion about developing a coherent “high-quality learning system.” We then talked about defining a learning system. Here is what I came up with:
A high-quality learning system is a structured framework designed to facilitate effective education by incorporating key components that enhance the learning experience. It is differentiated to meet diverse learner needs, responsive to feedback and changing circumstances, relevant to real-world applications, transferable across contexts and disciplines, rigorous to ensure depth and mastery of content, and usable by learners to apply knowledge confidently in practical situations. Together, these elements create an environment that promotes meaningful, adaptable, and enduring learning outcomes.
A few other elements of a high-quantity learning system that I subsequently considered for addition were:
- Consider the development of the adults facilitating learning. This would be andragogy – the method and practice of teaching adult learner.
- Making sure an environment, with the necessary supports, is created so students belong.
- Provide a supportive learning ecosystem – culture, family, community, resources
All of these considerations should help lead to a responsive learning environment.
