7 E’s of Constructivism in E-learning Skills of University Faculty

Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this research paper is to stress on the Information Technology skill of the University Faculty in achieving 7 Es of the constructivist E-Teaching/Learning process.

Methodology: It also uses secondary data of well-known books, reputed journal articles, authentic websites, and popular reports. Based on observations from the research papers also we have found that 7Es constructivist learning is better than traditional instruction-based learning.

Findings: The analysis shows that the skill component of education should be taken very seriously. The very application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skill has achieved good results in achieving better learning outcomes with reference to knowledge management processes like knowledge acquisition, storage, distribution, and use. This has encouraged the majority of people or communities to share, clarify and improve content using technologies. Constructivism must employ one or more techniques like problem solving, Role playing, Discussion, and simulations along with models like 7Es or 4As to construct new knowledge from existing knowledge for future learners so that innovations help learning process for easy or less time- consuming activity.

Research limitations/implications: Total change of existing education/training system is beyond one person or small community. But incremental reform steps can be taken so that the future is less cumbersome and living is easy.

Originality/value: Past experiences have shown us that technological advancement does not come easily, it is conjugation of constant skill application and research. This study addresses the importance of skill generated from learning/teaching concepts in the education sector and how it can be enhanced through various innovative teaching/learning ways.

Paper type: Case study paper
