Amaphuzu avelele okuqonda

Ukusebenzisa izinkundla zemidlalo ekilasini kungasiza ukwenza izifundo zihlanganyele futhi zihehe, okungase kuholele ekwandeni kokuzibandakanya kwabafundi, ukubambisana okuthuthukisiwe, namakhono okuxazulula izinkinga. Nokho, inselele izoba wukuqinisekisa othisha nabazali ukuthi ingasetshenziswa ngokuphepha nangokuzibophezela. Nakuba kunemithelela enjengokonga izindleko, ukuxhumana nomphakathi okwandisiwe, kanye nokuqanjwa okusha kwezindlela zokufundisa, ukukhathazeka kobumfihlo nokuvikeleka kufanele kubhekwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi idatha yabafundi ivikelekile.

Amakilasi e-Metaverse kanye nomongo wezinhlelo zokuqeqesha

Onjiniyela begeyimu basebenzise kakhulu i-metaverse ukuze banikeze ukuzizwisa okugxile kakhulu nokusebenzisanayo. Enye yezinkundla ezinkulu zokudlala eziku-inthanethi iRoblox, ehlose ukunwebeka kwezemfundo ukuze ifinyelele abafundi abayizigidi eziyi-100 emhlabeni wonke ngo-2030. Ngokusho kweNhloko Yezemfundo yale nkampani, ukusebenzisa inkundla yayo yokudlala ekilasini kungasiza izifundo ukuthi zihlanganyele futhi zihehe.

Ukunwebela emfundweni ye-K-12 kuyinselelo enkulu kuRoblox. Ngokomlando, imihlaba eku-inthanethi abathengi abayithandayo yehlulekile ukufeza obekulindelekile lapho isetshenziselwa izinjongo zemfundo. Isibonelo, i-Second Life, eyayinabasebenzisi abasebenzayo abayizigidi ezingu-1.1 ngo-2007, yadumaza othisha lapho isetshenziswa ekilasini. Ngokufanayo, igiya le-virtual reality (VR) elifana ne-Oculus Rift, i-Facebook elithenge nge-USD $2 bhiliyoni ngo-2014, laphinde laphakanyiswa njengendlela yokucwilisa abafundi kokuhlangenwe nakho okwabiwe ku-inthanethi. Nokho, lezi zithembiso azikakagcwaliseki.

Naphezu kwalezi zihibe, abacwaningi bezemfundo basalokhu benethemba lokuthi imiphakathi edlalayo ingasiza ukuletha utshalomali olusha ekuthuthukisweni kwezemfundo. Izinzuzo ezingaba khona zokusebenzisa amageyimu ekilasini zihlanganisa ukwanda kokuzibandakanya kwabafundi, ukusebenzisana okuthuthukisiwe, nokuthuthukiswa kwamakhono okuxazulula izinkinga. Inselele ye-Roblox kuzoba ukukholisa othisha nabazali ukuthi ingasetshenziswa ngokuphepha nangokuzibophezela.

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Njengoba ubuchwepheshe be-augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) bukhula, amanyuvesi nezikhungo zocwaningo zingasebenzisa ukusetshenziswa kwazo njengamathuluzi ezifundo, ikakhulukazi kwezesayensi nobuchwepheshe. Isibonelo, ukulingisa kwe-VR kungavumela abafundi ukuthi benze izivivinyo endaweni ephephile nelawulwayo. Ukwengeza, i-AR/VR ingakwazi ukufunda kude, ivumele abafundi ukuthi bafinyelele izinkulumo nomsebenzi wezifundo noma yikuphi.

Izikole zasenkulisa nezamabanga aphansi zingasebenzisa i-VR/AR ukwethula imiqondo ngokwenza imidlalo. Isibonelo, ukuzizwisa kwe-VR/AR kungavumela abafundi ukuthi bahlole indawo yangaphambi komlando noma bahambe uhambo ukuze bafunde ngezilwane—futhi kule nqubo, imibuzo eminingi ephendulwayo noma okuhlangenwe nakho okungokoqobo okuqoqiwe kungase kuqoqe amaphuzu aphezulu kumalungelo aphakathi kwekilasi. Le ndlela ingasiza ukwenza ukufunda kube mnandi futhi kuhehe abafundi abancane futhi ibeke isisekelo sothando lokufunda impilo yonke. 

Njengenzuzo yamasiko, lezi zinkundla ze-VR/AR zingasiza ukuthutha abafundi baye emasikweni ahlukene, izinkathi zomlando, kanye nezindawo, zithuthukise ukuhlukahluka okuthuthukisiwe kanye nokuchayeka kumasiko ahlukene. Abafundi bangakwazi ngisho nokubona ukuthi kunjani ukuphila njengabantu bezinhlanga namasiko ehlukene ezindaweni ezahlukene zomhlaba, emlandweni. Ngokuhlangabezana namasiko omhlaba ngendlela egxilile, abafundi bangathola uzwela nokuqonda, okungaba amakhono abalulekile emhlabeni owandayo womhlaba wonke.

Kodwa-ke, umthetho owengeziwe ungase udingeke ukuze kuqhutshekwe kusetshenziswe amalungelo obumfihlo wabafundi kuyilapho kusetshenziswa izinto ezingokoqobo ezixubile ekilasini. Kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abafundi abagadiwe noma baqashwe ngokungafanele. Ukuqoqwa kwedatha njalo kanye nokulandelela sekuvele kuyinkinga evelayo kumadivayisi afakwe ekhanda, angasebenzisa lolu lwazi ukuze asunduze izikhangiso kanye nemiyalezo ehambisanayo ngaphandle kwemvume yabasebenzisi.

Imithelela yamakilasi e-metaverse nezinhlelo zokuqeqesha

Imithelela ebanzi yamakilasi e-metaverse nezinhlelo zokuqeqesha zingabandakanya: 

• Ukwanda kokuxhumana komphakathi phakathi kwabafundi, njengoba bekwazi ukusebenzisana futhi bafunde ndawonye ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene ezibonakalayo.
• Indlela engabizi kakhulu yokuletha imfundo, njengoba iqeda isidingo samakilasi angokoqobo nengqalasizinda. Lo mkhuba ungaholela ekongeni kakhulu kwezindleko zezikole namanyuvesi, okuholela ekwehleni kwemali yokufunda. Kodwa-ke, izinzuzo ezinjalo zingatholakala kuphela kubafundi abahlala emadolobheni nasezifundeni ezinengqalasizinda yezokuxhumana ethuthukisiwe.
• Ohulumeni bakwazi ukufinyelela abafundi abaningi ezindaweni ezikude noma ezinganakekelwa kahle, okusiza ekwehliseni ukungalingani kwezemfundo nokukhuthaza ukuhambahamba komphakathi okukhulu.
• I-metaverse izuzisa kakhulu abafundi abakhubazekile noma izinkinga zokuhamba, njengoba ingabavumela ukuthi babambe iqhaza emakilasini abonakalayo ngaphandle kwemikhawulo engokomzimba abangase babhekane nayo emakilasini endabuko. 
• Ukuthuthukiswa nokusatshalaliswa kobuchwepheshe be-VR obuthuthukisiwe, ukushayela ukuqanjwa kweqiniso elinwetshiwe, ukufunda ngomshini, nobuhlakani bokwenziwa.
• Ukukhathazeka kobumfihlo, njengoba abafundi bazokwabelana ngedatha yomuntu siqu kanye nolwazi nezinkundla ezibonakalayo. I-metaverse ingase futhi yethule ubungozi bezokuphepha, njengoba amagumbi okufundela angase abe sengcupheni yokuhlaselwa kwe-cyberattack nezinye izinsongo zedijithali. 
• Ukuthuthukiswa kwezindlela ezintsha zokufundisa kanye nokugxila kakhulu emfundweni egxile kubafundi.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uma usafunda, i-AR/VR ingakuthuthukisa kanjani ulwazi lwakho lokufunda?
• Izikole zingawusebenzisa kanjani ngendlela efanele i-metaverse emakilasini?
