Abstract

PurposeThe main argument behind this paper is learning in the digital age should not be restricted to creating digital infrastructures for supporting current forms of learning nor taking schools in their current form as God-given, natural entities, but changing current forms of education by developing new frameworks and socio-technical environments for making learning an integral part of life. The authors provide a framework for this argumentation as well as a call-to-action for research on the co-evolution of learning, media, and learning organizations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper theoretically and argumentatively explores the core assumption that the digitalization of society results in challenges and opportunities for learning and education based on fundamental transformations (Collins and Halverson, 2009; Fischer et al., 2020).FindingsThe digital age greatly enhances the opportunities and supports the necessity for “making learning a part of life”. But while the growth of technology is certain, the inevitability of any particular future is not. The impact of schooling goes beyond that new information about computers, the Internet, and social media are integrated into the schools of today. The transformation of schools needs to be informed by an understanding of the impact of mindset formation that will determine people's approach to learning for the rest of their lives. The authors’ framework is focused on moving “beyond gift-wrapping” by not only fixing and existing systems but to change them and not only reforming but transforming them.Originality/valueIt is the authors’ hope that this article will be of interest to many stakeholders (including learners, teachers, curriculum designers, technology experts, parents, and politicians) and provide a foundation for an ongoing debate and informed actions for “Making Learning a Part of Life” in the digital age.

数字时代的挑战:让学习成为生活的一部分
目的本文背后的主要论点是,数字时代的学习不应局限于创建数字基础设施来支持当前的学习形式,也不应将当前形式的学校视为上帝赋予的自然实体,而是通过开发新的框架和社会技术环境来改变当前的教育形式,使学习成为生活的一部分。作者为这一论证提供了一个框架,并呼吁对学习、媒体和学习组织的共同进化进行研究。设计/方法论/方法本文从理论和论证上探讨了一个核心假设,即社会数字化会在根本变革的基础上为学习和教育带来挑战和机会(Collins和Halverson,2009;Fischer等人,2020)。发现数字时代极大地增加了“让学习成为生活的一部分”的机会和必要性。但是,尽管技术的发展是肯定的,但任何特定未来的必然性都不是。学校教育的影响不仅仅是计算机、互联网和社交媒体的新信息融入了当今的学校。学校的转型需要了解心态形成的影响,心态形成将决定人们余生的学习方式。作者的框架专注于“超越礼品包装”,不仅要修复现有的系统,还要改变它们,不仅要改革还要改造它们。原创性/价值作者希望这篇文章能引起许多利益相关者(包括学习者、教师、课程设计师、技术专家、家长和政治家)的兴趣,并为数字时代“让学习成为生活的一部分”的持续辩论和知情行动奠定基础。
