Description¶

The survey reports Rice's (2018) five strategies for implementing connectivism in traditional K-12 classrooms, including "never providing information that students can access themselves". The author notes this strategy pushes connectivism toward the model of discovery learning rather than network learning. The strategy treats the teacher's role as curating connections rather than transmitting content, consistent with connectivist principles of autonomy and interactivity.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Students must be able to access the information themselves through networked resources
• A classroom environment where discovery and network learning are feasible

Constraints¶

• The survey's author notes this strategy pushes connectivism toward discovery learning rather than network learning, so it may not fully embody connectivist network formation

Target Learners¶

• K-12 classroom students

Target Learning Goals¶

• independent information access and network-based learning
