A Learner is Like a Country



"The network is the learning." - George Simens

Whether it's via language, symbols, art, music, etc., human nature indicates that there is a desire to externalize what's in our heads. The need to externalize our thoughts must be met in order to connect with other individuals. This natural impulse seems to be directly in conflict with many of the more internalized theories of learning that we've used to establish our educational system (ex. constructivism, cognitivism, behaviorism). Perhaps we need to begin looking at the act of knowledge creation from an external perspective. As George Siemens states, learning is the function of a network.

Since knowledge changes so rapidly, it is crucial to note that what we know today is not as important as our ability to stay current. If you don't choose to continue learning, you are choosing to become obsolete in your particular field/knowledge space. From the perspective of a learner, no one wants to be stuck in a classroom where the teacher continuously uses the same teaching strategies and doesn't accept knowledge from outside of his/her classroom. There are many different ways of learning (ex. courses), but none seem to be as effective as a network, which constantly reforms itself.

The same mindset can be applied to a country. Prosperous countries are ones that value establishing ties with other countries, learn from each other, and work together to maintain peace. History has shown that countries that have chosen to isolate themselves from the outside world are depriving their citizens of knowledge that is essential in keeping up with a progressive, interconnected society.
