Dynabook and learning models, final words

The Dynabook was conceptualized under a constructivism learning perspective. Viewing it from other innovative learning model perspectives brings enriched insights that enhance the original vision.

Teaching by competences

What research says

A competence or a skill is the association of a knowledge and a task. A knowledge is an academic resource necessary to perform one or more tasks.

Flipped classroom

What research says

The idea of flipped classroom is to let the learners study the lesson at home, then, once in the classroom, ask the teacher questions on specific points not fully understood and practiced with exercises. The lessons can be a text, but most of the time the flipped classroom is supported with an approximately 10 min. video lesson.

Project based learning

What research says

Students study topics they will not likely learn outside of school. Most of the time, the learned topics are disconnected; students do not see the connection between these different topics or how they are related. Project-based learning tries to address this problem.

Authentic learning

What research says

Authentic or experience learning is based on the idea students may have a better learning experience with documents or situations coming from the "real world", at the least the world outside the school.

Interest based learning

What research says

Getting the students interested or using their points of interest to improve learning seems to be very obvious and it is a very old idea.

Learning in group

What research says

The Russian psychologist Lev Vygostki was the first to elaborate that social interactions are essential to human learning. His work induced a lot of research on collaborative learning.
