A Learning Process
involving different senses,
looking, touching and speaking,
connecting object and image with language
and vice versa -
Prof. Sonvilla-Weiss
Head of Master ePedagogy Design / VKB
That is actually what we always do while learning and adapting new knowledge, since when some one was a child till grown up adult. It is also how we develop memories and experiences which contribute as a part of knowledge and how someone portrait the world around him/her
However, with VKB, “The impact, visions and innovations of
Jan Amos Comenius (1592 - 1670) in pedagogical thinking is important” because it involves more with picture and visual object which help to develop relationship between things and words. All 5 senses should be all in collaborate in order to achieve a throughout knowledge about something or some event and then each individual develop their own meaning, experiences, and perceptions about life. Which we call Constructivism.
“Constructivism is a learning theory that argues that humans construct meaning from current knowledge structures”
Constructivist theory by Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. In addition, through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences.
-------------------------------------------
Assimilation vs. Accomodation:
already existing framework without changing that framework.
Accomodation:
representations, they may change their perceptions of the experiences to fit their internal representations. According to the theory, accommodation is the process of reframing one's mental representation of the external world to fit new experiences.
In this modern world nowadays, when one can travel across borders, to other environment and culture; the differences of each place will help them to develop a high level of adaptation and integration, in order to adjust to the new life, new accommodation. This process will be smoother and more transparent with the innovation of VKB. This is not only about education inside school-area but also is a further education with anything matter to each individual, and it does not stop anywhere or have any limitation because there is no boundary for sharing and developing knowledge

If I do not have my computer for one day , I would really freak out and going crazy because not only it disconnect me with my friends, and families far away, it disconnects me with the world and other activities around me. Time by time, I realize that the television doesnt satisfy my thirst of updating meself with what is happening around me. I got more from the internet via computer. And eversince I began with this study, the computer is such a powerful and useful equipment which support me a lot in catching with classmates, teacher and being informed with any latest news from school.
Now, VKB came with blended learning and e-pedagogy, there will no VKB without computer and the Internet. What are we suppose to share knowledge and forming an online-class? No, we can not do that with hand, paper and pen. With the help of computer, there are many communities rising up with various common hobby, purpose and background. The blog community or Wikipedia community are good example. There is extremely fast and popular way to expose new knowledge, developments and so on... We use to the act of looking for anything in Wikipedia and unintentialy we trust those information. Fortunately, since anyone could view the same source of information, we keep on update with latest news, correct any wrong input. It grows so quick and strong that actually some off-line conferences have been held in several places around the world. Is it beautiful, the help of computer in the era of VKB
