Unpacking Naive Schema through Connectivist Learning Approaches utilizing Distributed Ledger Technologies in Education

Potential Abstract:
The intersection of connectivist learning theory, stereotypes, distributed ledger technologies, and naive schema presents a unique opportunity to explore how educational practices can be transformed to address biases and misconceptions in the learning process. In this study, we examine how students’ understanding and interpretation of information are influenced by pre-existing stereotypes and schemas, and how connectivist learning approaches leveraging distributed ledger technologies can be used to challenge and reshape these mental frameworks. By leveraging the capabilities of distributed ledger technologies, we aim to provide a transparent and decentralized platform for students to collaboratively construct knowledge and challenge misconceptions. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative analysis of student interactions within the connectivist learning environment and quantitative assessment of learning outcomes. Through detailed analysis of student interactions and learning outcomes, we aim to shed light on the effectiveness of connectivist learning approaches in disrupting and dismantling naive schema perpetuated by stereotypes. The findings of this research will contribute to the ongoing discourse in educational research on the potential of innovative technologies to promote critical thinking and challenge ingrained biases in the learning process.
