I think that Rhizomatic learning pedagogy is particularly applicable in informal learning environment. MOOC is a good example! However after watching the video (Cormier, 2012), I realized that it could be accommodated in formal education, subject to the conditions and contexts. The features of this type of learning are:
No fix structure of learning
Create chain of unbounded network
Develop critical thinking, problem solving and decision making skills
Contextual
Ownership
Offer complexities to resolve issues at own
1. Were you convinced by rhizomatic learning as an approach?
Yes, I am! Cormier talks about the changing knowledge, which demand learners to engage in building unstructured networks. Making connections building communities out of communities is what work well to develop critical thinking skills
2. Could you imagine implementing rhizomatic learning?
I think that each one of us is already engaged in rhizomatic learning in some way or the other. I am not sure to implement it for my students, but I am looking forward to apply it.
3. How might rhizomatic learning differ from current approaches?
It is a liberal approach to learning and making unbounded network. There is no fix structure of start or end of learning. It offers critical thinking and appreciates diverse viewpoints. Curiosity to learn and explore and learning through realization make this pedagogy unique.
4. What issues would arise in implementing rhizomatic learning?
Activity 20: Exploring Rhizomatic Learning
