Revolutionize School Education Globally with ‘Dynamic School Knowledge Banks’
Politics / Education Apr 04, 2017 - 01:27 PM GMTBy: Dr_R_M_Mathew
Out of millions of students enrolled in thousands of schools every year globally, a few thousand students alone are lucky to have the best schools and best teachers and the others are spoiled without the required Skills, Expertise, Knowledge and Motivation though spend a lot of money, efforts and time . No school is rich enough to engage the Master Teachers and Great Scholars for each and every lesson taught in the classrooms. Half of the children do not have any access to schools and teachers worldwide. If we follow the conventional mode of education, it may take at least one hundred years to establish schools for all children in the world.
Their Failures
In spite of the exponential growth of the Internet, Library Networks, Archives, Encyclopedias, Wikipedia, Google Scholar and thousands of on-line Data-bases, e-Resources and Smart Classrooms, none of them can deliver authentic, customized, constantly updated and interactive Knowledge Modules, Packages and Solutions created by the Great Teachers and Scholars to millions of school learners or teachers globally. Global Dynamic School Knowledge Bank is an answer for these problems and it is future oriented for the emerging Knowledge and Skill-based Societies and Economies. It is capable of extending the scope of quality education globally crossing the boundaries of schools, regions, cultures, languages and wealth with ten times effectively at one-tenth cost and one third time and energy.
Best Teachers and Facilities
The question is how to make the services of the Best Teachers and Best Facilities available to each learner at affordable cost and improve the quality of delivery of education, besides extending the scope of education to those who could not formally enrolled in schools. The answer is Global Dynamic School Knowledge Banks that can also be effectively employed in improving the working of the existing schools, learning of the children and instructions of teachers besides extending the scope of education to the nooks and corners, including the under-privileged. It is highly innovative using the diverse techniques of Cognitive Science, Pedagogical Science, Knowledge Science & Engineering and Knowmatics and Theories of Knowledge Consumption-Production, besides new Algorithms for Knowledge Processing.
Dynamic School Knowledge Bank
A Dynamic School Knowledge Bank is a network or live Knowledge-base of the Best or Master Teachers, Scholars, Experts and Best Students in the diverse School Subjects for each lesson or topic according to different Curriculums, starting from Kindergarten to Secondary or Higher Secondary for different categories of students – Genius, Brilliant, Average and Dull Students, using Cloud Computing.
Global Dynamic School Knowledge Bank is a Mega Virtual School for the Global Learners to make the knowledge, skill and expertise of the Best Teachers, Scholars and Experts accessible to each and every student or teacher and thereby increasing their learning and teaching outcomes. Highly interactive Multi-media and Animation Techniques can be employed to make it learner friendly besides delivering tailor-made knowledge modules, packages and solutions according to the learning needs and abilities of each learner.
Customized and Individualized
Once it is made operational, it can deliver high quality, authentic, frequently revised Knowledge Modules, Packages and Solutions by taking into account the specific individual learning or teaching needs of each learner or student or teacher. Assessments of the learning levels and outcomes are inbuilt in the system, so that each learner can adopt the most effective learning strategies besides knowing his or her level of understanding and applications of skills and knowledge.
Dynamic
It is Dynamic in the sense that knowledge is a flow and is subjected to constant revisions or updating and above all non-linear growth in different dimensions. It is highly interactive and evaluative. Any school curriculum-based or highly advanced knowledge packages or solutions can be delivered globally at affordable cost to the schools, teachers and students globally according to their specific requirements. It can be delivered to Governments or School Boards, Individual or Group of Schools as well as individual Learners or Teachers.
President-like
The President of America and several other rulers or heads of nations can afford to appoint hundreds of Policy Experts or even Speech Writers and making use of them before making major decisions or delivering speeches nationally or globally. Ordinary people and even most of the CEOs cannot afford to have a team of experts under their disposal. On the other, a Dynamic Knowledge Bank has the capacity to empower everybody with advanced knowledge modules or packages created by experts with affordable cost depending upon the nature of knowledge created so as to make decisions or delivering speeches just like the Rulers or the American President.
Systems and Architecture
Some of the features of Artificial Intelligence, Expert Systems, Big Data, Machine Learning and Semantic Computing besides the architecture and algorithms of some of the powerful social media can be incorporated in the designing and working of the Global Dynamic School Knowledge Bank.
It is designed just like a bank – those who have knowledge can deposit it and earn an income based on the quality, up datedness and relevance of knowledge packages or solutions and those who need the specific and custom-made knowledge packages or solutions can access them paying the stipulated tariffs. Besides the Master Teachers, Scholars, Experts and Genius Students as the Knowledge Producers, there are Knowledge Engineers, System Designers, Knowledge Managers and Knowledge Workers as Knowledge Delivers for the Global Learning Community.
Mathew’s Theories of Knowledge
Dynamic School Knowledge Bank is the practical application of the Mathew’s Theory of Knowledge Consumption-Production Correlation and Mathew’s Stage Theory of Knowledge Growth, originally published by the USSR Academy of Science, Moscow in 1985, which can effectively be applied in Augmenting Skill Acquisitions, Learning Outcomes and Scientific Productivity globally. They recognize that the structure of knowledge is dynamic and non-linear and the building blocks of Knowledge are Concepts; each concept has different dimensions and can be presented in diverse levels or qualities depending upon the intellectual and academic caliber and the levels of motivation and commitment of each learner or knowledge consumer. Consumption and Production of Knowledge besides Skill Acquisition, both qualitatively and quantitatively, be augmented.
Each school subject or discipline can be represented with a set of Basic Concepts and their interrelationships broadly at Elementary Level verbally, pedagogically, mathematically, application-oriented or technologically. At Advanced Level, they can go deep even crossing the boundaries of disciplines and becoming multidisciplinary and inter-disciplinary. They can also become narrow with in-depth treatment at specialized level for the brilliant.
Quality of Knowledge Consumption
Every classroom is composed of different categories of students-- Genius, Brilliant, Average and Dull requiring diverse treatment or approach or methodology. Learning is essentially a process of Knowledge Consumption and Learning Outcomes at higher level result in Knowledge Production. Advanced or High Quality Knowledge Consumption leads to Knowledge Production. Unlike universities, the primary tasks of schools are to augment basic knowledge consumption and skill acquisition, besides value imparting and personality development, instead of Knowledge Production and Advanced or Sophisticated Skill Acquisition.
Knowmatics
Knowmatics, the Mathematics & Cybernetics of Knowledge, has been propounded applying Mathew’s Theories of Knowledge Consumption-Production, can be employed for designing Dynamic Knowledge Banks. It is the result of my prolonged research on Modern, Classical and Scriptural Knowledge, History & Philosophy of Science, Informatics, Information Science and IT, AI, Expert Systems and etc. Knowmatics can equally be applied both in Schools and Universities besides diverse Professions, bringing a real Revolution in Education and building up a Knowledge Economy with knowledge-intensification in all social production processes.
Profit and Income
With the cost of establishing five modern schools, the Global Dynamic School Knowledge Bank can be set up and made operation within 18 months, generating more profit and income than 100 schools. It can be made the most preferred educational, learning and instructional knowledge-delivering network for almost all schools, school children and teachers or parents with the backing of the world-renowned scholars, scientists, experts and professionals. It can also generate income in terms of billions with advertisement income so that schools and children in poor countries or localities can be provided with high quality education at subsided rates. Besides, school teachers, students and parents can be encouraged to post their own creations, curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular works and activities, offering special incentives, awards and recognitions for the best schools, teachers, students and parents in different curriculums, grades and school subjects.
The Proposal
As a person with multi-disciplinary backgrounds, long year’s university level teaching and administration besides research in knowledge, membership in international expert committees and international publications, I could develop the Methodology, Theories and Operational Procedure for setting up and running the Dynamic School Knowledge Bank. In the coming days those who control and deliver Knowledge control the world. Further details on Dynamic School Knowledge Bank will be provided for the selected genuine investors, including startups in Knowledge Industry, besides Governments or International Agencies.
