Teachers Becoming Lifelong Learners

Abstract

Every type of learning from birth to death is referred to as lifelong learning. The goal of lifelong learning is for everyone to become better. People are expected to become lifelong learners because the knowledge taught at school is not sufficient. From this point of view, educational approaches around the world focus on lifelong learning, and there is a growing need for lifelong learners and teachers. Teachers have seen lifelong learning as an activity that took place outside of the classroom. Additionally, they had connected it to a variety of educational pursuits and personal development. Teachers who are lifelong learners also have the requisite confidence and learning skills, are highly motivated to participate in the process, and are acutely aware of the connection between education and real-world experiences. Control of educational goals and decisions needs to be shared between teacher and students. With the advent of information technology, there is an urgent need to revisit not only the pedagogical methods, but also to update ourselves as teachers with the recent developments.The Lifelong Learning aims to bridge the gaps in the learning teaching process using various modern methods of dissemination of knowledge, across the age group of individual learners.Teachers and students have worked collaboratively to set learning goals and make decisions. Today, with new technology, it’s important for teachers to not only change how they teach but also keep learning new things themselves. Lifelong Learning helps improve the teaching and learning process by using modern ways to share knowledge with people of all ages.
