Today’s
learners appear smarter because they are really hands-on in using the computer
and any other kinds of Technology and they become alive because of these
technologies used in classrooms. But they can’t read as their parents do.
The concern for new learners is
valid. Because teachers nowadays generally use the traditional way of teaching
and not seeing the side that the way they teach is not applicable anymore
because of the digital world. It is also observed that today’s learners spend
too much time in using their gadgets and any kinds of technology that is likely
to be the advantage of it. But the learner’s today is not well understood
because daily exposure to these technologies has positive effects; it stimulates
the brain by strengthening and creating neural circuits and creating an
intellectual revolution.
From Jean Piaget’s presented chart
from childhood to adulthood, learners experienced having susceptible minds in
the first two years where they are easily influenced or affected by something
or someone. They are acquiring communication skills on six years. There is a
transition of concrete thinking in teenage years and we experienced abstract
thinking and reasoning in adult years. By that presented chart, even in their
early years, they can easily adapt to the new technologies and even enhance it
until they are getting older.
The
influence of technology is rapid, life changing and phenomenon. Learners or the
younger generation is practiced on the multi- tasking as they perform task
simultaneously. Researchers made an evidence that multitasking prevents from
concentration but is still used because of the new world of information
technology. There is the need therefore to balance the good and possibly detrimental
changes observed among new learners of this information technology age.
