Creative Learning Curriculum for Everyday Lessons

2010-12-14T18:49:00.000Z

Education, like charity, begins at home. And it has been seen that young mothers often get hyper about the child’s education in a manner that makes it look like the child will appear in some graduation level examination at the tenser age of two! The only reason behind it is of course the fact that the adults today are very well aware of he cutting competition in the existing job market and they wish to give their child every opportunity and advantage so that when he is of age, he finds a well paying job and can lead a comfortable life without any worries. But on the other hand, it has resulted in only over burdening the child and instead of grasping what life has to offer, they get stuck with books and up mugging up their lessons.
For this reason, educationalists have asserted that a kind of balance has to be maintained between the important and the so- called trivial ways of study, so that it facilitates all round development of the child. This is what they call, Creative Learning. Which is a blend of the formal and more interactive and interesting way of studying, so that the child does not merely read about, but is exposed to the practical things of life, thereby improving his faculties and thus having a better understanding of his surroundings. For this, it is not necessary to chart out a very high profile plan with an expert with a lot of fee. In fact you should do it in accordance with your child’s likes and dislikes and according to your own discretion as a responsible parent.
Therefore, trainers and young parents, who are teaching a child at home, should draw a plan and divide the child’s lesson accordingly. So if the morning is dedicated to the alphabets and evenings to basic science then, apart from just reading about the plants, take them out to the garden and let them touch the leaves and fruits and flowers. If you have older children in the house, encourage them to perform the experiments that they have studied and take an active interest in helping them out so that they know what they are learning is greatly appreciated. Draw out a plan where you have equal hours dedicated to study, play and any other extra curricular activities that he might like to follow.
The bottom line is not just to leave them alone with their books and enquire only when the annual report comes in. if you do not look into his development yourself, and then there is no use complaining when he does not turn out to your liking.

Higher education require to be accessible to all

2010-11-15T20:02:00.000Z

The earlier judge of the Supreme Court and earlier chairman of the Law Commission of India, Justice A R Lakshmanan, expressed concern over four important problems that confront the education system in India. The pattern of learning, government control over universities, restrictions put by our Constitution and the problem of acquisition of knowledge are hindrances in dissemination of learning to citizens, Lakshmanan said at the valedictory function of the All India Vice-Chancellors’ conference on Sunday.

The three-day conference concluded at the Bharati Vidyapeeth deemed university on Sunday.

Lakshmanan touched upon various shortcomings in the learning system of the country and said, “The problem is very complex in India. The government has asked all universities to begin correspondence courses in various disciplines. Distance education seeks to disseminate knowledge, but there are constraints inherent in the process and cannot serve the needs of those who desire to have knowledge of science and technology, the rudiments of which cannot be comprehended without the use of laboratories, machines etc. Also, letters courses lack one vital thing, viz, the private touch between the teacher and the taught,” Lakshmanan said.

Shivajirao Kadam, the vice-chancellor of Bharati Vidyapeeth, M D Tiwari, president, Association of Indian Universities among others were present at the valedictory function.

Lakshamanan further added, “Our learning system needs to be revamp in the areas of higher education. Higher education needs to be made evenly accessible to all through progressive introduction of free education. The greatest problems that the system of higher education faces are ragging and politicizing of the campus. Terrorizing and harassing innocent victims under the name of ragging have greatly affected the system.”

Kadam said, “In this era of knowledge economy, Indian universities have to gear up to meet the challenges that will be pose due to the arrival of the foreign universities. The thrust has to be on improving quality of learning by innovation and educational advancement.”

Tiwari said that the suggestion and inputs provide by the participate vice-chancellors have been taken into consideration and will be deliberated on by the relevant authorities to ensure proper implementation
