The theory that I will use is _____. It was developed by _____, and it was used to study _____. Commented [MAMF3]: name the theory
This theory indicates that _____. As applied to my topic, this theory holds that I would expect my Commented [MAMF4]: identify the origin, source, or
independent variable(s) _____ to influence or explain the dependent variable(s) _____ because developer of the theory
_____. Commented [MAMF5]: identify the topics where one
finds the theory being applied
Commented [MAMF6]: identify the propositions or
hypothesis in the theory
The research that I will use is the use of MOOCs today. It was wrote by Dhawal Shah in January
Commented [MAMF7]: state independent variables
18th of 2018. This research served to demonstrate the percentage of effectiveness of learning over Commented [MAMF8]: state dependent variables
Commented [MAMF9]: provide a rationale based on the
other similar theories. And this theory is important the use of the technology, how we live, how logic of the theory

we communicate and how we learn in social and cultural context in this digital age. George

Siemens introduced the concept of connectivism in 2005 when he posted in an article that the

processes of learning does not simply happen within an individual, but within and across the

networks. Then in the next years many others gave their concepts through conferences, but the

connectivism was reconsidered and Siemens discussed its technological implications writing some

books, two famous of them are “Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning” and “knowing

knowledge”. According to Siemens´ theory, the connectivism could be connected among nodes,

more exactly five nodes that are recognized in three types: neural, conceptual and external. As

applied to my topic, with this theory I would expect my independent variable: Technological

backgrounds (low effectiveness of technology vs high effectiveness of technology) places, use,

quality and kind of technologic tools increase the possibility to explain the dependent variables of

learning through technology and the internet, because they will demonstrate to improve learning

abilities like reading, writing, speaking, listening, arithmetic, creativity, innovation,

communication and collaboration, reaching a high level of development of knowledge and the best

way to learn in this digital age. The connectivism is influential in the learning process because it

helps to understand the deposit of learning and knowledge, strength the importance of an actualized

and precise information and when the different institutions of education manage the use of digital

technology they will get better results in knowledge exams.
