The necessity of rethinking university education models in Humanities with an emphasis on social constructivism approach: A proposed model
Message:
Abstract:
Purpose
Humanities play an important role in the development and promotion of cultural and social values of the society. Emphasis on knowledge production, customizing of the existing knowledge and the importance of fostering specialists in this field, show the significance of humanities. The research evidence shows that, there are no appropriate educational models in the universities of Iran that nurture qualified graduates in humanities. To encounter such a situation, instructional designs need to be based on the competencies required by the students. The focus of this article is on this question: What is the proper educational model for the Humanities?
Method This study is a basic theoretical research, and to respond to the question posed, rational argument based on the library research and review of the related research have been used.
Findings: Based on the argument; graduates in the humanities need to get education that encompasses three categories of cognitive, social and emotional competencies. Social constructivism approach can help fostering these competencies. In this approach, cognitive development occurs in the social context and through the interactions and collaborations that individuals make with one another. We may conclude that the competency-based education model that is emerged from the social constructivism approach is the suitable model for the Humanities.
