Amaphuzu avelele okuqonda

Ukwehla kokubhalisa kanye namazinga aphezulu okuyeka isikole kuvame ukuqhutshwa yilokho okulindelwe ngabafundi kokuhlangenwe nakho okuhle kakhulu kwedijithali, iningi lilindele ukuthi ukunikezwa ku-inthanethi kuhambisane noma kube ngaphezu kwezifundo zomzimba. Ukuthuthukisa ulwazi lwedijithali emfundweni ephakeme kunemithelela ehlukahlukene, ehlanganisa umphakathi wabafundi oxhumene kakhulu, ukwanda kokuqashwa, ukunciphisa umthelela wendawo, kanye nemfundo yentando yeningi ngokusebenzisa izinkundla zedijithali.

Ukuthuthukisa umongo wolwazi lwedijithali oluphezulu

Amanyuvesi abhekene nokwehla kwamanani okubhalisa kanye namazinga aphezulu okuyeka isikole, izinkinga ezingaxazululwa ngokusebenzisa ulwazi lokufunda oluhehayo futhi oluqondene nomuntu siqu oluqhutshwa ubuhlakani bokwenziwa. Njengochwepheshe be-AI u-Lasse Rouhiainen okuxoxwe ngakho ku-Harvard Business Review, i-AI eqeqeshwe ngedatha enkulu ingaletha okuhlangenwe nakho kokufunda okwenziwe ngokwezifiso, isize osolwazi baqonde ukuthi abafundi bafunda kanjani ngokuhlukile. Ngokuzayo, i-AI yayingakwazi ngisho nokutolika isimo sobuso sabafundi ukuze ihlole ukuqonda kwabo izifundo.

Okulindelwe ngabafundi kuyashintsha nakanjani uma kukhulunywa ngezinto ezidijithali. Ngokombiko we-Higher Education Digital Experience Report ka-2022, amaphesenti angama-91 abafundi alindele ukuthi ukunikezwa kwe-inthanethi kwenyuvesi kufanele kube sezingeni, uma kungenjalo, kunezifundo zayo zomzimba. Iningi licabanga ukuthi ulwazi oluhle lwedijithali lungabasiza ekuphatheni ngempumelelo impilo yabo yonke yasenyuvesi (amaphesenti angama-92), bathuthukise ukusebenza kahle kwezemfundo (amaphesenti angama-90), kuthuthukise umuzwa wokuba ingxenye yenyuvesi (amaphesenti angama-86), kanye nokuvikela impilo yabo yengqondo (86) iphesenti).

Ikakhulukazi, iGeneration Z ijwayele ukuba namazinga aphezulu okuhlangenwe nakho kwedijithali. Abakulindele ngomklamo wesevisi yedijithali, okuhlangenwe nakho kokusetshenziswa kubonwa, kanye nokwenza kube ngokwakho kuthonywa kakhulu amabhrendi avelele e-tech-savvy abeke ngempumelelo ibha phezulu kulezi zindawo. Embikweni, amaphesenti angama-67 abaphendulile alindele ukuthi ulwazi lwedijithali lwenyuvesi yabo luhambisane nezinsizakalo ezifana ne-Facebook, Amazon, noma Netflix.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Okuhlangenwe nakho kwedijithali kwethula ithuluzi elinamandla lamanyuvesi ukuze athole imininingwane ngemibono nokuziphatha kwabafundi, kanye nokunikeza ukwesekwa okuklanyelwe. Ukugxila okuqinisiwe ezicini ezihlukahlukene, kusukela ekuphumeleleni kwezemfundo kuye empilweni yengqondo, kuveza ithuba elikhulu lokuqoqwa kwedatha ehlakaniphile futhi isetshenziswe. Lawa mathuba ahlanganisa ukuhlinzeka ngokuqukethwe kwedijithali komuntu siqu kanye namasevisi, ukucwenga idizayini yesevisi ngemininingwane ethuthukisiwe, noma ukuqondisa ukungenelela okufika ngesikhathi kwabafundi abadinga usizo. Kodwa-ke, ngenkathi amanye amanyuvesi ethuthuke kakhulu kulolu hambo oluqhutshwa idatha, iningi alikawasebenzisi ngokugcwele lawa mandla kuze kube manje.

Izikhungo zemfundo ezikhethe ukubeka phambili ukuhlinzeka abafundi ngamakhasimende zibona imiphumela ekhuthazayo. Isibonelo, i-Georgia State University isebenzise i-AI chatbot ebizwa ngokuthi i-Pounce ngo-2016 ukuze ilwe "ne-summer melt," isenzakalo lapho abafundi beshiya khona ngemva kokubhalisa entwasahlobo. Isebenzisana ne-AdmitHub, inyuvesi ihlose ukuxhasa abafundi abahola kancane kanye nesizukulwane sokuqala ababedinga ukunakwa ngabanye kanye nosizo lwezezimali. 

I-Pounce yahlelelwa ukubhekana nezithiyo ezivamile zokubhalisa ezifana nezicelo zosizo lwezezimali nokubhaliswa kwekilasi, okuhlinzeka ngosizo lwe-24/7. Ngenxa yalokhu, "ukuncibilika kwehlobo" kwehle ngamaphesenti angama-22, okuholele kwabanye abafundi abangama-324 abaya emakilasini okuwa. Umsebenzi kaPounce wawuhlanganisa nokunikeza izimpendulo ezingaphezu kuka-200,000 kwabasanda kungena abasha, umsebenzi owawuzodinga abasebenzi abaqashwe ngokugcwele abayi-10 ngaphandle kokusekelwa yi-chatbot.

Imithelela yokuthuthukisa ulwazi lwedijithali oluphezulu

Imithelela ebanzi yokuthuthukisa ulwazi oluphezulu lwedijithali ingase ihlanganise: 

• Umphakathi wabafundi oxhumene kakhulu futhi ozibandakanyayo, okuholela emisebenzini eyengeziwe namathuba emfundo.
• Okuhlangenwe nakho okuhle kwedijithali okuholela ekutheni abafundi baphumelele futhi ngaleyo ndlela bakhulise ukuqashwa kwabo, okuholela kubasebenzi abalungele ikusasa. 
• Abafundi bathambekela kakhulu ekubambeni iqhaza ezinqubweni zezombusazwe zedijithali ngenxa yokwanda kolwazi lwabo lwedijithali, njengokuvota ku-inthanethi noma izingxoxo zezepolitiki ezinkundleni zedijithali, okukhuthaza ukuhlanganyela komphakathi okwandile.
• Amathuba alinganayo kubantu kuzo zonke izizinda ezihlukene zezindawo nenhlalo-mnotho, esiza ukunciphisa ukuhlukana kwezibalo zabantu ekufinyeleleni imfundo kanye nemiphumela.
• Ukuqamba nokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe, okuholela entuthukweni kuma-chatbots ahlakaniphile, abafundisi bomuntu siqu ku-inthanethi, kanye nezifundo zama-virtual reality.
• Ukufunda ku-inthanethi okwengeziwe kanye nesidingo esincane sengqalasizinda ebonakalayo, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphisa i-carbon footprint ehlobene nokwakha nokugcina amakhampasi angokwenyama.
• Ukwenziwa ngentando yeningi kwezemfundo kusetshenziswa izindlela zedijithali okuholela ekwandiseni ukuqonda nokusebenzisana kwamasiko ahlukene. Ukuchayeka emibonweni eyahlukene kanye nolwazi ngokusebenzisa izinkundla zedijithali nakho kungakhuthaza ukuzwela kwamasiko nokuqwashisa umhlaba wonke.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uma ungumfundi, isikole sakho sisebenzisa kanjani ulwazi olungcono lwedijithali?
• Yiziphi ezinye izindlela amanyuvesi angenza ngazo izinto zibe lula kubafundi ngokuya ngamathuluzi aku-inthanethi?
