The document discusses 5 key trends in education that will continue in 2022: 1. Technological trends in teaching and learning, such as the growth of online learning platforms, present benefits like access to education but also challenges for engaging students. 2. A focus on developing soft skills through activities that encourage collaboration as preparation for future careers, though online learning makes this difficult. 3. Decreasing student attention spans, down to 8 seconds from 12 seconds, due to technology use, requiring new teaching designs with strong narratives and visuals. 4. A shift towards teachers playing a facilitative role rather than only lecturing, as students can access information independently, requiring teachers to foster independent learning skills.

- 1. 5 Trends in Education that continue in 2022
- 2. Society and the professional world continue to evolve and change with the growth of technology and the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This, in turn, has had a tremendous impact on the educational sphere, leading to a number of growing trends in the world of education. For educators to properly engage their students, they must remain abreast of these latest changes and key factors that affect learning in the classroom. Their understanding of these trends can help them create more effective learning environments. As teachers prepare themselves to implement these latest education developments, here are the five most important trends with which they should familiarize themselves.

- 10. The growth of technological capabilities means that a variety of media and learning-support tools now exist to help students receive a high-quality education through the Internet. This trend presents a number of benefits and drawbacks for teachers and institutions who want to continue to offer their students the rigorous education they need to thrive. Technology, for example, may not encourage students to learn soft skills. They might not have the built-in opportunities to engage with their fellow students, the way they might in traditional-style classrooms. For example, opportunities for leadership on group projects will not occur as organically as they once did. The online platform may also force teachers to change how they teach. They might find it challenging to change how they approach lesson plans to ensure that the students remain engaged even while they cannot see the instructor in person. 1 Technological trends in teaching and learning
- 11. In an effort to prepare students for their future careers, schools must have the training in place to help students nurture and grow in these skill areas. Soft skills training: a major trend in higher education 2 However, as already discussed, the simultaneous trend towards online learning does make this a challenge for many teachers. These educators will need to find a way to balance the screen time involved in their class with the importance of encouraging students to work together face- to-face to nurture soft skill development.
- 12. Student trend: decreasing attention spans 3 As the prevalence of technology has grown, attention spans have also changed for students. A study conducted by Microsoft looked at the attention spans overall between 2000, between 2000, which was the dawn of the mobile revolution, and 2015. They found that attention spans decreased by an incredible 4 seconds-- from 12 seconds to 8. This drop has largely been blamed on the nature of technology and the constant stimulation it offers viewers. To keep the attention of Millennials, the content presented to them must have excellent visuals and dialogue along with an interesting storyline that will hold their attention. This younger group cares more about the narrative and the visual nature of the content that interests them than other age groups. This change in attention trends also has a tremendous impact on how instructors adjust their classes and keep students engaged with the material. Teachers need to find ways to design classes that will catch the attention of their students, many of whom will fall into this Millennial generation, and adapt the course delivery method and pace. Their course design will need to remember the importance of a strong narrative and visuals.
- 13. Facilitating learning versus teaching 4 As technology has grown, it has also changed how teachers relate to their students and their classrooms. With a wealth of information at their fingertips, students today have the tools they need to uncover a tremendous amount of facts and knowledge independently. In this environment, many students value less of a top-down delivery method. Instead, teachers now function more in a facilitative role. Their job has slowly evolved into a position where they help students understand how to learn, to love learning, and how to uncover and understand the information they find. The best teachers will be those who can help students take ownership of their learning This can present some challenges for teachers, who must work on their own soft skills of leadership and problem-solving. They must learn how to foster conversations and create an environment that values team-work.
- 14. Life-long learning trend 5 Each industrial revolution has changed the nature of work and jobs in astounding ways. The current 4th Industrial Revolution may impact an incredible 50 percent of jobs as tremendous technological progress leads to changes in how people do their jobs. Professionals who want to remain competitive in their environment will need to constantly re- skill themselves. They cannot assume that an education they earned in the first half of their professional career will be all they need for the rest of their working lives. Instead, earning a degree must be followed by ongoing learning. This requires institutions to create a self-development mindset in their students as well as their faculty and staff. Classrooms must leave opportunities for teaching self-learning skills so that students can continue to learn and engage in their chosen fields.
