As you research schools or chat with your child\u2019s teachers, you\u2019ll likely hear a few buzzwords that aren\u2019t part of your everyday vocabulary. Don\u2019t worry\u2014just like always, we\u2019ve got you covered! Let\u2019s break down five more educational terms to help you stay ahead of the curve.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P.s &#8211; you can check out our other blogs breaking down education buzzwords here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/yellowpages-6-educational-buzzwords-you-need-to-know-in-2022\/\">#YellowPages: 6 Educational Buzzwords You NEED To Know In 2022<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/breaking-down-learning-buzzwords\/\">#YellowPages: Your Go-To Guide To Understanding Learning Buzzwords<\/a><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Flipped Classroom<\/strong> Imagine a classroom where students do their \u201chomework\u201d in class and watch lectures at home. That\u2019s essentially the idea behind a flipped classroom! Instead of listening to a teacher lecture during class time, students are introduced to new content outside the classroom\u2014often via online videos or reading materials\u2014and then come to class ready to apply their knowledge through discussions, group work, or problem-solving. This approach encourages active learning and helps students better grasp the material with their teacher\u2019s support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-august-de-richelieu-4260325-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-august-de-richelieu-4260325-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-august-de-richelieu-4260325-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"((min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px)) 480px, ((min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px)) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Competency-Based or Mastery-Based Learning (CBL)<\/strong> Forget the traditional model where students advance based on how long they\u2019ve been in a classroom. Competency-Based or Mastery-Based Learning is a personalized approach where students progress as soon as they demonstrate mastery of a skill or subject, regardless of time. This means students aren\u2019t held back if they\u2019re ready to move forward, nor are they rushed through material before fully understanding it. Schools using this approach often focus on real-world skills and allow students to learn at their own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. AI in Education<\/strong> Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how students learn and teachers teach. Schools are beginning to use AI-powered tools to personalize learning experiences, analyze student performance, and even automate administrative tasks. From adaptive learning platforms that adjust lessons to a student\u2019s pace to AI tutors providing extra help, AI is helping to create a more customized and efficient education experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Gamification: Who<\/strong> says learning can\u2019t be fun? Gamification is the process of turning educational activities into game-like experiences. Schools and teachers use gamification to motivate students by incorporating elements of play\u2014such as earning points, unlocking badges, or completing challenges\u2014into the learning process. This approach taps into students\u2019 natural competitive spirit and love for games, making learning more engaging and interactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Experiential Learning<\/strong> Experiential Learning is all about learning by doing. Instead of sitting in a classroom absorbing information, students engage in hands-on activities that allow them to directly apply what they\u2019re learning. This can include internships, field trips, service learning, or real-world projects. Schools that prioritize experiential learning aim to make education more interactive, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. It\u2019s a great way for students to see the practical side of their lessons while developing skills they\u2019ll need in life beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-9302784-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-9302784-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/learn.schola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-9302784-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"((min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px)) 480px, ((min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px)) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019re up to speed on the latest buzzwords, which ones resonate with you and your child\u2019s needs?
